Name: Pinus serotina / Cyrilla racemiflora - Lyonia lucida - Ilex glabra Swamp Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This woodland, with a canopy dominated by <i>Pinus serotina</i> (cover greater than 50%) over a dense shrub layer, occurs within a mosaic of other peatland communities on poorly drained interstream flats of outer coastal terraces. The canopy is variable in closure, from closed to fairly sparse; larger shrubs range from 2-4 m in height. The community also occurs in isolated wetlands such as Carolina bays. Other canopy species in this community can include <i>Gordonia lasianthus, Magnolia virginiana, Persea palustris, Acer rubrum var. trilobum</i> (in fire-suppressed examples), <i>Pinus taeda</i> (in disturbed examples), and less commonly, <i>Chamaecyparis thyoides</i>. The bay species, <i>Gordonia lasianthus, Persea palustris</i>, and <i>Magnolia virginiana</i>, are present also in the shrub layer. Other shrubs present include <i>Ilex myrtifolia, Clethra alnifolia, Morella caroliniensis, Aronia arbutifolia</i>, and <i>Viburnum nudum var. nudum</i>. Herbs generally are not common. This community is present on the Coastal Plain from northern North Carolina to South Carolina, but probably absent from Georgia and northern Florida.
