Name: A.648
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance contains seasonally flooded woodlands that are dominated by ~Nyssa biflora$. Other tree species that may be present include ~Persea palustris, Magnolia virginiana$, and others. Because surface water persists through the growing season in most years, the shrub layer is not well-developed. The herbaceous layer contains ~Panicum hemitomon, Woodwardia virginica, Bacopa caroliniana, Gratiola$ spp., ~Rhynchospora$ spp., and ~Triadenum walteri$. ~Sphagnum cuspidatum$ is often abundant. These woodlands occur in seasonally flooded portions of natural flatwoods ponds of the southeastern Coastal Plain.
