Name: Pinus elliottii var. elliottii - Taxodium ascendens / Lyonia lucida / Woodwardia virginica - Sphagnum spp. Saturated Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association has been documented from Kings Bay, a large peat-filled basin swamp that exists on a Pleistocene barrier island in southeast Georgia. It may also exist in similar nearby environments such as the Okefenokee Swamp. Typical trees of this woodland community are stunted and include <i>Pinus elliottii, Taxodium ascendens, Gordonia lasianthus, Nyssa biflora</i>, and <i>Magnolia virginiana</i>. The shrub layer can be open to dense and is composed of <i>Lyonia lucida, Ilex glabra, Clethra alnifolia, Ilex myrtifolia, Itea virginica, Morella cerifera</i>, and <i>Persea palustris</i>. <i>Smilax laurifolia</i> is abundant, often covering trees and shrubs. <i>Woodwardia virginica</i> is common throughout the community. Other herb layer species include <i>Sarracenia minor (= var. minor)</i> and <i>Lachnanthes caroliana</i>. Mats of <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. often cover the saturated ground layer.
