Name: Nyssa biflora - Magnolia virginiana - Quercus laurifolia / Cyrilla racemiflora - Rhododendron oblongifolium Swamp Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This broad-leaved, mixed evergreen-deciduous forest represents one of two described phases of "baygalls" in the West Gulf Coastal Plain, this type being the more southern-ranging type. The canopy is typically strongly dominated by <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i> and/or <i>Nyssa biflora, Magnolia virginiana</i>, and <i>Quercus laurifolia</i>. The herb stratum is typically dominated by the ferns <i>Woodwardia areolata, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Osmunda cinnamomea, Woodwardia virginica</i>, and <i>Onoclea sensibilis</i>. This community is saturated for most of the year with much of the moisture originating as seepage flow from adjacent sandy uplands.
