Name: Salix caroliniana / Hibiscus grandiflorus / Polygonum punctatum Swamp Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: These seasonally flooded wetlands are found imbedded in live oak-dominated maritime forests in swales between coastal dunes in coastal Georgia and northern Florida. They are characterized by a short (5-10 m) <i>Salix caroliniana</i>-dominated overstory with <i>Hibiscus grandiflorus</i> in the shrub layer. <i>Morella cerifera</i> may also be found scattered in the shrub layer. The herbaceous cover depends on season and water levels in the stand. <i>Polygonum punctatum, Boehmeria cylindrica</i>, and <i>Teucrium canadense</i> are dominant herbs; <i>Ptilimnium capillaceum, Saururus cernuus, Hydrocotyle bonariensis</i>, and others may also be present in the herb layer. <i>Nekemias arborea</i> and <i>Mikania scandens</i> are common vines. <i>Quercus virginiana</i> and <i>Sabal palmetto</i> may be overhanging but are not typically rooted in the community.
