Name: Osmunda cinnamomea - Pluchea camphorata - Dichanthelium spp. Seep Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: These are seepage wetlands which do not have <i>Sarracenia</i> spp. and occur far inland in eastern Texas, southeastern Oklahoma and in Arkansas. These wetlands can be herbaceous- or shrub-dominated with scattered trees. The seeps in southeastern Oklahoma are herbaceous and tend to have <i>Dichanthelium acuminatum var. lindheimeri, Dichanthelium scoparium, Juncus effusus, Juncus interior, Panicum anceps</i>, or <i>Pluchea camphorata</i>. In eastern Texas, a scattered emergent canopy of <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i> and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> may be present, while the shrub layer is dense and dominated by <i>Viburnum nudum var. nudum</i>. Other characteristic components of the shrub stratum include <i>Acer rubrum, Mikania scandens, Morella cerifera, Nyssa sylvatica, Smilax bona-nox</i>, and <i>Smilax laurifolia</i>. Characteristic herbs include <i>Boehmeria cylindrica, Dichanthelium acuminatum var. lindheimeri, Osmunda cinnamomea, Rhynchospora miliacea</i>, and <i>Woodwardia areolata</i>. These acidic, saturated wetlands occur on linear seepages on lower slopes along the sides of small drainages in the sandhills where water seeps from a perched water table. These are mostly in areas where coarse sands overlay clay impermeable layers.
