Name: Chamaedaphne calyculata / Carex striata Dwarf-shrub Pocosin Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This vegetation is only found in eastern North Carolina in pocosin peatland wetlands. It is dominated by <i>Chamaedaphne calyculata</i> and <i>Carex striata</i>. Other characteristic species include <i>Calamovilfa brevipilis, Carex striata var. striata, Eriophorum virginicum, Lysimachia asperulifolia, Nymphaea odorata, Peltandra virginica, Polygala brevifolia, Rhynchospora alba, Utricularia subulata</i>, and <i>Vaccinium macrocarpon</i>. Stands of this alliance occur both in areas that are truly ombrotrophic (receiving nutrients from rainfall only), with pH &lt;4.2, and areas that are somewhat influenced by groundwater. Vegetation of this alliance is found in mucky peat-burns or other openings which form a mosaic with various shrublands (e.g., ~<i>Cyrilla racemiflora - Zenobia pulverulenta</i> Wet Shrubland (CEGL003943)$$) in low, medium, or high pocosins (including ombrotrophic blanket bogs) of the Outer Coastal Plain of North Carolina.
