Name: Gordonia lasianthus / Woodwardia virginica - Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community is a saturated forest dominated by Gordonia lasianthus. Other trees present in the canopy and subcanopy include Acer rubrum and Persea palustris. Shrubs, including Itea virginica and Cephalanthus occidentalis, occur primarily on downed logs, stumps and Osmunda hummocks. The herb layer is generally dominated by Woodwardia virginica. Other herbs include Peltandra virginica, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, and Osmunda cinnamomea. Sphagnum macrophyllum occurs in water-filled depressions. This forest occurs along poorly developed drainageways or in outer edges of floodplains, associated upslope with pinelands.
