Name: Nyssa biflora / Ilex myrtifolia / Carex glaucescens - Eriocaulon compressum Swamp Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This dome swamp community occurs in the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Florida and Alabama and the South Atlantic Coastal Plain of Florida and possibly Georgia. The canopy is strongly dominated by <i>Nyssa biflora</i>, often with scattered <i>Taxodium ascendens</i>, and sometimes low-canopy <i>Ilex myrtifolia</i>. The subcanopy is poorly developed and consists of <i>Ilex myrtifolia</i> and <i>Cyrilla parvifolia</i>. <i>Magnolia virginiana</i> and <i>Persea palustris</i> may be present. Shrubs are typically not present or, at least, not abundant, but may include <i>Lyonia lucida, Clethra alnifolia, Hypericum chapmanii, Hypericum brachyphyllum, Smilax laurifolia</i>, and <i>Smilax walteri</i>. The herbaceous layer includes <i>Eriocaulon compressum, Eriocaulon decangulare var. decangulare, Carex glaucescens, Lycopodiella alopecuroides, Coreopsis nudata, Juncus repens, Sabatia bartramii, Rhynchospora</i> spp., <i>Rhexia</i> spp., <i>Xyris</i> spp., <i>Woodwardia virginica</i>, and <i>Erigeron vernus</i>. <i>Tillandsia bartramii</i> can be an abundant epiphyte. This association occurs in small seasonally to semipermanently flooded depressions surrounded by <i>Pinus palustris - Pinus elliottii var. elliottii</i> flatwoods. Fire periodically burns into the <i>Nyssa</i> ponds.
