Name: Taxodium ascendens - Cliftonia monophylla - Pinus elliottii var. elliottii - Chamaecyparis thyoides / Hypericum nitidum - Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This vegetation of floodplains is found near mouths of rivers just inland from coastal salt marshes in the East Gulf Coastal Plain. This vegetation is a mosaic of stunted forest and open marshlands. The forested areas contain Taxodium ascendens, Cliftonia monophylla, Pinus elliottii var. elliottii, and Chamaecyparis thyoides, along with Magnolia virginiana. Associated marshes with more open canopies contain Hypericum nitidum and Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense, with Rhynchospora microcarpa, Rhynchospora filifolia, Nymphaea odorata, Eriocaulon decangulare, Lophiola aurea (= Lophiola americana), Sagittaria lancifolia, and Polygala cymosa. Soils are in the Bohicket and Handsboro series. This community grades upstream into floodplain swamp, and downstream into estuarine tidal marshes.
