Type Concept: This is a non-tidal, seasonally flooded mangrove community of southern Florida that occurs over deep organic soils containing marine marls and freshwater peats. The 3- to 7-m tall canopy is dominated by Rhizophora mangle, Laguncularia racemosa, Avicennia germinans, and Conocarpus erectus. Subcanopy and shrub species include Jacquinia keyensis, Sideroxylon celastrinum, Lycium carolinianum, and Rhabdadenia biflora. Herbs include Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense and Ipomoea violacea.
