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 <i>Taxodium ascendens, Cliftonia monophylla, Pinus elliottii var. elliottii</i>, and <i>Chamaecyparis thyoides</i>, along with <i>Magnolia virginiana</i>. Associated marshes with more open canopies contain <i>Hypericum nitidum</i> and <i>Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense</i>, with <i>Rhynchospora microcarpa, Rhynchospora filifolia, Nymphaea odorata, Eriocaulon decangulare, Lophiola aurea (= Lophiola americana), Sagittaria lancifolia</i>, and <i>Polygala cymosa</i>.
