Name: A.655
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Woodlands in this alliance are dominated by ~Nyssa biflora$ and ~Taxodium ascendens$ and occur along lake margins, in depressions, and in other areas where surface water persists throughout the growing season in most years. ~Taxodium ascendens$ is more common in the wettest areas, while ~Nyssa biflora$ is dominant where water is less deep. The herbaceous species in at least one association occur as a 'flotant,' with species on a fibrous root mat dominated by ~Ludwigia pilosa$ and ~Bacopa caroliniana$. Other typical species include ~Carex decomposita, Saururus cernuus, Xyris smalliana, Xyris fimbriata, Lachnanthes caroliana, Triadenum walteri, Pluchea rosea, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Woodwardia areolata, Andropogon glomeratus var. hirsutior, Andropogon glaucopsis, Cyrilla racemiflora$, and ~Ptilimnium$ sp. This alliance is known from the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Louisiana and Mississippi.
