Description: The dominant tree species include <i>Acer rubrum var. rubrum, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and <i>Nyssa biflora</i>. Shrubs include <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i> and <i>Lyonia lucida</i> which may be in two distinct zones. The liana <i>Smilax laurifolia</i> is also present. Herbaceous dominants include <i>Woodwardia virginica</i> and <i>Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis</i> in a fern zone, with <i>Carex glaucescens, Dulichium arundinaceum</i>, and <i>Panicum virgatum</i> in a grass-sedge zone. A deeper open-water zone contains <i>Torreyochloa pallida, Potamogeton pulcher</i>, and <i>Utricularia gibba</i>. The vegetation is zoned with an outer ring of trees, a series of interior zones of shrubs, herbs and vines, and a central area with or without standing water year-round depending on precipitation. Vegetation of this alliance occurs in seasonally flooded upland ponds of a limited area in the Ridge and Valley and adjacent Cumberland Plateau of Alabama and Georgia (and possibly Tennessee).
