Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Laurel Oak - Swamp Tupelo East Gulf Coastal Plain Swamp Forest
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This is a provisional association for the East Gulf Coastal Plain and possible adjacent ecoregions. More information is needed.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: In Alabama, vegetation in this alliance is found in swales in Pinus palustris-dominated uplands (A. Schotz pers. comm.). A forest dominated by Nyssa biflora, Quercus laurifolia, and Magnolia virginiana with Persea palustris, Clethra alnifolia, Cyrilla racemiflora, and Toxicodendron radicans is reported from the Mississippi portion of the Gulf Islands National Seashore (R. Wieland pers. comm.), e.g. Cat, Horn and/or Petit Bois islands, but it is unclear if it should be placed here or in a Nyssa alliance.
