Name: Quercus virginiana - Quercus pagoda - Liquidambar styraciflua / Sabal minor - Ilex vomitoria Swamp Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community occurs in South Carolina and adjacent Georgia on low moist to wet flats, near the conceptual line between upland and saturated hydrologies. These sites never receive overland flooding from rivers or streams. <i>Quercus virginiana</i> and <i>Quercus pagoda</i> dominate the canopy; other canopy and subcanopy species may include <i>Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus nigra, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus phellos, Magnolia grandiflora, Ulmus americana, Ulmus alata</i>, and <i>Celtis laevigata var. laevigata</i>. <i>Sabal minor</i> forms a dense shrub layer, often intermixed with substantial <i>Ilex vomitoria</i> and <i>Morella cerifera</i>. Woody vines are common and include <i>Berchemia scandens, Toxicodendron radicans ssp. radicans, Campsis radicans</i>, and <i>Bignonia capreolata</i>. Herbs are few but may include <i>Chasmanthium laxum, Chasmanthium sessiliflorum</i>, and <i>Juncus coriaceus</i>. <i>Tillandsia usneoides</i> and <i>Pleopeltis polypodioides ssp. michauxiana</i> are common epiphytes. Some areas supporting this community were in row-crop agriculture in the early eighteenth century, and the origin and naturalness of this community are somewhat uncertain.
