Name: Nyssa biflora - Taxodium ascendens / Ludwigia pilosa - Bacopa caroliniana Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This flatwoods pond community is known from the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Louisiana and possibly Mississippi. The canopy is scattered, with <i>Taxodium ascendens</i> in the wettest areas, and <i>Nyssa biflora</i> in slightly less deeply flooded areas. The herbaceous species occur as a 'flotant,' with species on a fibrous root mat dominated by <i>Ludwigia pilosa</i> and <i>Bacopa caroliniana</i>. Other typical species include <i>Saururus cernuus, Xyris smalliana, Xyris fimbriata, Lachnanthes caroliana, Triadenum walteri, Pluchea rosea, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Woodwardia areolata, Andropogon glomeratus var. hirsutior, Andropogon glaucopsis, Cyrilla racemiflora</i>, and <i>Ptilimnium</i> sp. Hydrology may be altered by impoundment, but this appears to be a community of natural occurrence.
