Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This streamhead swamp forest type includes very wet forests along mucky small streams in sandy terrain, which are dominated by combinations of <i>Nyssa biflora, Acer rubrum var. rubrum</i>, and <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> and have undergrowth of pocosin species. Pines (<i>Pinus serotina, Pinus taeda</i>) are usually present but do not dominate. In the Francis Marion National Forest, South Carolina, the understory is dominated by <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Persea palustris</i>. Prominent shrubs include <i>Ilex glabra, Lyonia lucida, Clethra alnifolia</i>, and <i>Morella caroliniensis</i>. <i>Smilax laurifolia</i> is a prominent vine. The herb layer is dominated by <i>Osmunda cinnamomea</i> and <i>Carex elliottii</i>. Though flooded occasionally by stream water, stands are also kept saturated by seepage input.
