Reference:

Description:
The canopy of stands of this floodplain forest of the East Gulf and Upper East Gulf coastal plains is strongly dominated by <i>Fagus grandifolia</i>. Other canopy trees include <i>Carya ovalis, Carya carolinae-septentrionalis</i>, and <i>Ulmus americana</i>. The subcanopy may contain <i>Acer negundo, Magnolia macrophylla</i>, and/or <i>Tilia americana var. heterophylla</i>, but any of these species may not be present in all examples, as their ranges rarely overlap. Stands would typically contain lower coverage of other hardwoods typical of upper floodplain terraces in this region, such as <i>Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus michauxii, Quercus nigra</i>, and <i>Quercus shumardii</i>. Shrubs include <i>Halesia diptera, Ulmus alata, Arundinaria gigantea</i> (which may have high cover), <i>Sabal minor, Toxicodendron radicans, Bignonia capreolata, Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i>, and <i>Lindera benzoin</i>. Some herbs include <i>Trillium decipiens, Carex granularis, Arisaema dracontium, Arisaema triphyllum, Dioscorea quaternata, Maianthemum racemosum, Eupatorium fistulosum, Botrychium virginianum, Onoclea sensibilis, Pleopeltis polypodioides, Polystichum acrostichoides</i>, and <i>Geranium maculatum</i>.
