North Carolina, United StatesNA2023COLLECTED11/13/2023Sandhills Game Land: wetland associated with the West Prong of Juniper Creek on the north side of Whisky Still Road approximately 0.63 kilometers northeast of Hoffman Road, Scotland County Road 1328.34.95683200, -79.51146200103Plants are growing in part-shade to sun in an acidic wetland habitat rich in sphagnum and other wetland species. The habitat is moist to wet year-round and periodically has surface runoff occurring; even so, this habitat can become quite dry during seasonal periods without rainfall. Slope: N/A. Aspect: N/A. The underlying geology of this area is of Tertiary origin and characterized as Pinehurst Formation. It is comprised of medium- to coarse-grained sand as well as cross-bedding and rhythmic bands of clayey sand that are unconsolidated. (Source: USGS North Carolina Geologic Map Data.) The primary soil type in the collection area is classified as Johnston Series soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, frequently flooded. The Johnson Series consists of very deep, very poorly drained coarse-loamy, siliceous, active, acid, thermic Cumulic Humaquepts. The upper 0-75 cm is black, mucky loam that is friable and very strongly acid. The lower strata to 1.75 m is dark gray, loamy fine sand, single grained, loose and very strongly acid.

Slope: N/A. Aspect: N/A. The underlying geology of this area is of Pleistocene origin and characterized as a Socastee Formation. This is a low coastal formation in the Carolinas like Penholoway but younger and lower in altitude. It is comprised primarily of unconsolidated, fine-detrital clay. It is described as variegated quartzose sands, argillaceous sands, and clays, 5 m thick at the type section near Socastee Swamp. (Source: USGS South Carolina Geologic Map Data.) The primary soil type in this collection area is classified as Rutlege Series loamy fine sand. Rutlege Series soils are very deep, very poorly drained soils that are sandy, siliceous, thermic Typic Humaquepts. Upper strata soils (0-38 cm) are black loamy sand with weak medium granular structure. They are loose and very strongly acid. Lower strata (38-175 cm) range from dark gray to dark brown sand that is single grained, loose, and very strongly acid. (Source: NRCS Web Soil Survey.)Wild material2159142NA 88714
