Name: (Pinus elliottii) / Cyrilla racemiflora - Persea palustris - Magnolia virginiana - Smilax laurifolia Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This East Gulf Coastal Plain pocosin is known only from seepage-fed areas of sapric muck soils at the base of a 10-m high bluff in the vicinity of Grand Bay savanna. It occurs on a low Pleistocene coastal terrace, adjacent to the more elevated Oligocene surface. The vegetation is dominated by <i>Cyrilla racemiflora, Persea palustris, Magnolia virginiana</i>, and <i>Smilax laurifolia</i>. Stands have a low and relatively stunted stature, achieving heights of only 3-4 m (10-12 feet). Emergent <i>Pinus elliottii var. elliottii</i> and/or <i>Taxodium ascendens</i> may be present. A similar species combination inhabits the more widespread East Gulf Coastal Plain streamhead shrubland type ~<i>Ilex coriacea - Lyonia lucida - Smilax laurifolia</i> Shrubland (CEGL004666)$$, but this topographic situation is very different.
