Environment description: The plants were growing in part shade in a bog with gray muck and running clear tea-colored water. Slope: N/A. Aspect: N/A. The underlying geology of this area is the Citronelle Formation, of Pliocene origin, and consists of gray to orange, often mottled, unconsolidated to poorly consolidated, very fine to very coarse, poorly sorted, clean to clayey sands. It contains significant amounts of clay, silt and gravel which may occur as beds and lenses and may vary considerably over short distances. Limonite nodules and limonite-cemented beds are common. (Source: USGS Florida Geologic Map Data.) The surface soil profile of this area is primarily Pamlico-Pantego-Rutlege Association. The Pamlico series consists of very poorly drained soils that formed in decomposed organic material underlain by dominantly sandy sediment. The soils are on nearly level flood plains, bays, and depressions of the Coastal Plain. Slopes are less than 1 percent. Pamlico soils have 0.4-1.3 meters of organic material over dominantly sandy sediments. Reaction is extremely in the organic layers and ranges from extremely acid to strongly acid in the underlying mineral layers. The Pantego series consists of very deep, very poorly drained, moderately permeable soils that formed in thick loamy sediments on the Southern Coastal Plain and Atlantic Coast Flatwoods. Slopes are less than 2 percent. This soil is strongly acid. The Rutlege series comprises very deep, very poorly drained persistently wet soils on flats, depressions and floodplains where shallow ponding is common. They are of marine or fluvial sediment origin. Thickness of these loamy sandy soils is greater than 1.5 meters and a reaction from extremely acid to strongly acid. (Source: NRCS Web Soil Survey.)
