Description: This community comprises Pine Barrens bogs or "spungs." These bogs are associated with seasonally flooded sites, often covering entire shallow, circular depressions and swales, or occur along margins of intermittent ponds and streamsides. Dense <i>Chamaedaphne calyculata</i> interspersed with <i>Decodon verticillatus, Vaccinium macrocarpon</i>, and <i>Gaylussacia dumosa</i> occur over a continuous carpet of <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. <i>Carex striata</i> is interspersed within the dwarf-shrubs or forms significant cover in wetter openings. <i>Woodwardia areolata, Dulichium arundinaceum, Juncus canadensis, Hypericum densiflorum, Lysimachia terrestris, Eleocharis tuberculosa, Triadenum virginicum</i>, and <i>Eriophorum virginicum</i> are common herbs. Associated herbs of wetter openings include <i>Nuphar lutea, Nymphaea odorata, Utricularia</i> spp., <i>Rhynchospora</i> spp., and <i>Drosera intermedia</i> and <i>Drosera rotundifolia</i>.
