Description: Stands of this association are seepage-fed saturated forests found at the base of steepheads and the upper reaches of seepage streams. The canopy is dominated by <i>Magnolia virginiana</i>, sometimes with <i>Persea palustris</i> and <i>Gordonia lasianthus</i>. <i>Acer rubrum, Cliftonia monophylla</i>, and <i>Quercus nigra</i> may also occur in the canopy and subcanopy. <i>Illicium floridanum</i> is the most striking and characteristic feature of this community; it may be very abundant, sometimes reaching high into the subcanopy.
