Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This generally defined association covers seasonally flooded wetland depressions, often strongly dominated by <i>Woodwardia virginica</i>, which occur in acidic sands of the Coastal Plain. Vegetation is tall, up to 1.5 m in height. Additional associates include <i>Triadenum virginicum, Carex striata, Hypericum mutilum</i>, and <i>Decodon verticillatus</i>. Woody associates typically occur at the periphery of the pond, and may include scattered and stunted individuals of <i>Acer rubrum, Pinus taeda, Liquidambar styraciflua, Clethra alnifolia, Rhododendron viscosum</i>, or <i>Vaccinium corymbosum</i>.
