Description: This community occurs in seasonally flooded depressions in old meander scars on second terraces of ancient Red River alluvial valleys in Louisiana and possibly Arkansas and Texas.

Characteristic canopy species include <i>Quercus lyrata, Quercus phellos, Ulmus americana, Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus nigra, Diospyros virginiana, Quercus stellata, Ulmus alata, Fraxinus caroliniana</i>, and, less frequently, <i>Salix nigra</i> and <i>Gleditsia aquatica</i>.
