CEGL007829 Cyrilla racemiflora / Xyris fimbriata - Utricularia purpurea - Lycopodiella alopecuroides Wet Scrub
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Swamp Titi / Giant Yellow-eyed-grass - Eastern Purple Bladderwort - Foxtail Clubmoss Wet Scrub
Colloquial Name: Titi Pond
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This shrubland community occurs in seasonally flooded natural depression ponds in the Outer Coastal Plain of South Carolina, occurring in a pine flatwood landscape. Cyrilla racemiflora is the only shrub present through most of the ponds and covers as much as 70% of the pond''s area. Scattered, stunted Nyssa biflora may also occur. Prior to seasonal drawdown, these ponds are flooded 6-9 dm deep, and aquatics such as Utricularia purpurea and emergent herbs such as Xyris fimbriata characterize the herbaceous stratum. Following drawdown, the exposed pond bottom may have species such as Lycopodiella alopecuroides, Carex spp., and Juncus sp. Steep rims of the ponds are rimmed with Chamaedaphne calyculata, Gordonia lasianthus, Lyonia lucida, and Smilax laurifolia. These ponds are known from the vicinity of Lewis Ocean Bay Preserve, Horry County, South Carolina.
