Description: This forest occurs on peaty soils only slightly above sea level, in swales and seepage-fed areas adjacent to sand dunes. The canopy is sometimes open, depending on wetness and recency of disturbance by flooding, hurricane, or storm. <i>Persea palustris</i> is the canopy dominant. <i>Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera)</i> is common in the shrub layer. The herb layer has <i>Osmunda cinnamomea, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Woodwardia virginica</i>, and <i>Woodwardia areolata</i>. <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. are common.
