Name: Sabal palmetto / Glyceria septentrionalis - Carex stipata - Woodwardia virginica Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This vegetation occupies old dune swales as well as extensive low flats between old dune ridges which support maritime forests in the South Atlantic Coastal Plain. These woodlands are dominated by Sabal palmetto which comprises over 95% of the canopy in places. Few other tree species occur; occasional Quercus laurifolia, Acer rubrum, Juniperus virginiana var. silicicola (= Juniperus silicicola), Persea sp., Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), and Morus rubra are found. This association has an open, glade-like aspect with a dense herbaceous layer. Common herbaceous species include Glyceria septentrionalis, Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense (= Cladium jamaicense), Woodwardia virginica, Woodwardia areolata, Hydrocotyle verticillata, Rhynchospora caduca, Carex stipata var. maxima, and Boehmeria cylindrica.
