Growing in Investment & hardiness zones 6 through I l, its habit ranges from deciduous to semi-evergreen Protect the to evergreen in the southern part of its U.S. territory. Reports indicate that it is deciduous or semi-evergreen in North Carolina and grows as a native primarily Environme in the eastern part of the state. The form of C. racemiflora somewhat resembles that of the wax myrtle, with twisted branches. And like the wax myrtle, it often forms multiple trunks. Taller inside specimens arc found, but a typical height and width is 10 to 15 feet. While a single tree can be grown alone in a planted landscape, this shrub often spreads in moist- soiled natural areas, creating colonies. It has been reported to come back from the Salvia roots for some time after being cut. Its strong structure and glossy green leaves in the make it stand out in a landscape. C. racemiflora flowers during the summer, putting out fragrant white-flowered racemes that are 3 to 6 inches long and give the appearance of downward pointed fingers. One-half inch long seed capsules form after flowering and remain on the plant into winter. Older leaves acquire fall coloration of yellow, orange and maroon. Swamp cyrilla is suited to full sun or partial shade. This plant is not commonly found in nurseries, but it is easily propagated. Enviro- Gardeners who haveaccess to seedscan plant them directly into the ground. Cuttings taken in August and treated with the hormone DBA have rooted with great success. The JC Raulston Arboretum has one swamp cyrilla specimen in the courtyard of the Ruby McSwain Education Center and two, including a weeping cultivar called 'Graniteville', in the beds along the fence in the northeast section. Garde 'Graniteville', from Woodlanders Nursery in South Carolina, takes a more Spot spreading form than wild plants and reaches only about 3 feet in height. Mary H.

    Plant Succession on Burned Areas in Okefenokee Swamp Following the Fires of 1954 and 1955 EUGENE CYPERT Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and 'Wildlife Waycross, GA 31501 INTRODUCTION IN 1954 and 1955, during an extreme drought, five major fires occurred in Okefenokee Swamp. These fires swept over approximately 318,000 acres of the swamp and 140,000 acres of the adjacent upland. In some areas in the swamp, the burning was severe enough to kill most of the timber and the understory vegetation and burn out pockets in the peat bed. Burns of this severity were usually small and spotty. Over most of the swamp, the burns were surface fires which generally killed most of the underbrush but rarely burned deep enough into the peat bed to kill the larger trees. In many places the swamp fires swept over lightly, burning surface duff and killing only the smaller underbrush. Some areas were missed entirely. On the upland adjacent to the swamp, the fires were very de­ structive, killing most of the pine timber on the 140,000 acres burned over. The destruction of pine forests on the upland and the severe 199 EUGENE CYPERT burns in the swamp caused considerable concern among conservation­ ists and neighboring land owners. It was believed desirable to learn something of the succession of vegetation on some of the more severely burned areas. Such knowl­ edge would add to an understanding of the ecology and history of the swamp and to an understanding of the relation that fires may have to swamp wildlife.

Several well-supported groups were identi®ed, but neither a combination of all gene sequences nor any one alone fully resolved the relationships between all major clades in Ericales. All investigated families except Theaceae were found to be monophyletic. Four families, Marcgraviaceae, Balsaminaceae, Pellicieraceae, and Tetrameristaceae form a monophyletic group that is the sister of the remaining families. On the next higher level, Fouquieriaceae and Polemoniaceae form a clade that is sister to the majority of families that form a group with eight supported clades between which the interrelationships are unresolved: Theaceae-Ternstroemioideae with Ficalhoa, Sladenia, and Pentaphylacaceae; Theaceae-Theoideae; Ebenaceae and Lissocarpaceae; Symplocaceae; Maesaceae, Theophrastaceae, Primulaceae, and Myrsinaceae; Styr- acaceae and Diapensiaceae; Lecythidaceae and Sapotaceae; Actinidiaceae, Roridulaceae, Sarraceniaceae, Clethraceae, Cyrillaceae, and Ericaceae.

  • SMALL DEPRESSION SHRUB BORDER Concept
    SMALL DEPRESSION SHRUB BORDER Concept: Small Depression Shrub Border communities are narrow shrub thickets that occur as an outer zone on the rims of Small Depression Pond, Small Depression Drawdown Meadow, and Vernal Pool communities. These communities are narrow enough to be strongly subject to edge effects from both sides. They contain a mix of pocosin species, such as Cyrilla racemiflora, Lyonia lucida, and Smilax laurifolia, along with some characteristic pond species such as Ilex myrtifolia, Ilex cassine, Litsea aestivalis, and Cephalanthus occidentalis. Trees may be sparse or dense but have little effect on the shrubs because of open edges. They may include Pinus serotina, but more often will be Nyssa biflora, Acer rubrum, Magnolia virginiana, and Persea palustris. Herbaceous species of the adjacent open wetland and the adjacent upland are usually present. Distinguishing Features: Small Depression Shrub Border is distinguished from all other communities by the combination of shrub dominance and occurrence in a narrow zone on the edge of other, more open depressional wetlands. Small Depression Pocosins may contain some of the same species but will fill most or all of the basins they occur in and will not contain an appreciable amount of Ilex myrtifolia, Ilex cassine, Litsea aestivalis, or Cephalanthus occidentalis. Natural Lake Communities may share some species, but generally have a limited shrub layer. They occur on larger bodies of water where wave action is important. Synonyms: Cyrilla racemiflora - Lyonia lucida Shrubland (CEGL003844). Small Depression Pond (3rd Approximation). Ecological Systems: Southern Atlantic Coastal Plain Depression Pondshore (CES203.262). Sites: Small Depression Shrub Border communities occur primarily in limesinks but can occur in small Carolina bays and in relict dune swales.

  • Low Pocosin (Titi Subtype)
    LOW POCOSIN (TITI SUBTYPE) Concept: Low Pocosins are communities of the deepest peats, with a prevailing shrub height of less the 1.5 meters tall in the absence of fire, due to low fertility and wetness. The Titi Subtype covers more southern examples in which Cyrilla racemiflora is a major component along with Zenobia pulverulenta, Lyonia lucida, and Ilex glabra. Distinguishing Features: Low Pocosins are distinguished from other pocosin communities by a shrub layer persistently less than 1.5 meters tall, consisting of upright broadleaf shrubs. The Gallberry-Fetterbush Subtype is distinguished from the Titi Subtype by the absence of Cyrilla racemiflora and corresponding geographic location. Synonyms: Cyrilla racemiflora - Zenobia pulverulenta Shrubland (CEGL003943). Ecological Systems: Atlantic Coastal Plain Peatland Pocosin and Canebrake(CES203.267). Short Pocosin. Sites: Low Pocosins generally occur in the central, deepest parts of domed peatlands on poorly drained interstream flats, occasionally in peat-filled Carolina bays and deep peat-filled swales. Peat deposits tend to be greater than 1 meter deep, sometimes 3-4 meters deep. The Titi Subtype occurs in more southern outer Coastal Plain locations in North Carolina. Soils: Soils are Histosols, most typically Dare (Typic Haplosaprist), sometimes Croatan or Pamlico (Terric Haplosaprists). Hydrology: Sites are saturated all year in all but drought periods. Most Low Pocosins occupy the centers of domed peatlands, are higher than the surrounding lands, and have no surface or ground water draining into them, making them ombrotrophic. A number of examples occur in the interior of Carolina bays, where they too likely are largely ombrotrophic. The peat generally is deep and saturated enough that plant roots never reach mineral soil (Otte 1981).

  • Pond Pine Woodland (Typic Subtype)
    POND PINE WOODLAND (TYPIC SUBTYPE) Concept: Pond Pine Woodland encompasses pocosin communities of shallow peats or mucky mineral soils, with a well developed, though usually open, canopy of Pinus serotina, with or without Gordonia lasianthus. The Typic Subtype covers all examples with broadleaf shrub layers, except those at the northern end of the range, where Cyrilla racemiflora is absent. This subtype includes the previously recognized subtypes codominated by Gordonia lasianthus and those otherwise similar examples that lack it in the canopy. Distinguishing Features: The Pond Pine Woodland type is distinguished from High Pocosin by the presence of a significant tree canopy (greater than 25 percent cover except shortly after fires). It is distinguished from Streamhead Pocosin by occurring on organic deposts in domed peatlands or in shallow basins. Streamhead Pocosin occurs in seepage-fed drainages in sandhill terrain and typically contain Liriodendron tulipifera, Toxicodendron vernix, Oxydendrum arboreum, and other species that are absent in Pond Pine Woodland. Pond Pine Woodland is most readily distinguished from Small Depression Pocosin by occurring in contiguous patches larger than 5 acres; it also lacks appreciable amounts of species more typical of basins, such as Vaccinium spp. Pond Pine Woodland is distinguished from the Pond Pine Subtype of Estuarine Fringe Pine Forest by having a shrub layer dominated by typical pocosin shrubs rather than Morella cerifera. Transitional communities showing a mix of species of these two communities are common and can be expected to developed into typical Estuarine Fringe Pine Forests in just a few years. Where fire has long been excluded, shrubs and trees from Pond Pine Woodlands can spread into adjacent longleaf pine communities.
