Name: Chamaecyparis thyoides / Cyrilla racemiflora - Cliftonia monophylla - Ilex coriacea Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community is associated with "steephead streams" in the Florida Panhandle and adjacent Alabama, and shows some floristic, landscape, and conceptual similarities to streamhead Atlantic white-cedar forests of the Carolina Sandhills. Occurrences are normally linear, from 30-100 m wide, and extend along streams in saturated, highly acidic, coarse-sandy situations. This wetland community is a saturated sparse woodland with 5-50% canopy of scattered <i>Chamaecyparis thyoides</i>, often with <i>Nyssa biflora, Magnolia virginiana</i>, and <i>Pinus elliottii var. elliottii</i>. The shrub layer is fairly open to very dense, and may contain <i>Cyrilla racemiflora, Cliftonia monophylla, Lyonia lucida, Ilex coriacea, Ilex glabra</i>, and <i>Serenoa repens</i>. The herb stratum includes species such as <i>Rhynchospora</i> spp., <i>Carex lonchocarpa, Woodwardia areolata</i>, and <i>Sarracenia rubra ssp. gulfensis</i>. <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. are often common.
