Typical trees of this woodland community are stunted and include <i>Pinus elliottii var. elliottii, Taxodium ascendens, Gordonia lasianthus, Nyssa biflora</i>, and <i>Magnolia virginiana</i>. The shrub layer can be open to dense and is composed of <i>Lyonia lucida, Ilex glabra, Clethra alnifolia, Ilex myrtifolia, Itea virginica, Morella cerifera</i>, and <i>Persea palustris</i>. <i>Smilax laurifolia</i> is abundant, often covering trees and shrubs. <i>Woodwardia virginica</i> is common throughout the community.
