Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Swamp Titi - Shining Fetterbush Wet Shrubland
Colloquial Name: Pondshore Titi Thicket
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This community is found in the Southeastern Coastal Plain of the United States potentially from the Carolinas to Mississippi and possibly Louisiana. It occupies a marginal zone (sometimes very narrow, sometimes broader) of coastal plain ponds. Occasionally, this zone may dominate entire small depressions. Cyrilla racemiflora and Lyonia lucida usually dominate. An example at Fort Gordon, Georgia, contains the shrubs Lyonia lucida, Morella cerifera, and Viburnum nudum var. nudum, along with the herbs and low shrubs Dulichium arundinaceum, Eupatorium sp., Hypericum sp., Triadenum sp., Ludwigia sp., Xyris sp., and Scirpus cyperinus?. An example on Apalachicola National Forest includes Clethra alnifolia, Pieris phillyreifolia, and Ilex myrtifolia.
