Georgia west to s. Mississippi. |  (c) Ward, Scott G |
| Myricaceae | Morella pensylvanica | Northern Bayberry | Dunes, sometimes even on the foredune and stoloniferously colonizing the upper beach, more typically behind the foredune on secondary dunes and sandy flats, often growing intermixed with Morella cerifera, but able to occupy drier sites higher on the dunes, from VA north, also ranging inland in sandy situations. | Newfoundland and Labrador (Newfoundland), Québec, and Ontario south to ne. North Carolina (Avon or Kinnakeet, Dare County), n. Ohio, and s. Michigan. | (c) Fleming, Gary P. |
| Myricaceae | Morella pusilla | Dwarf Bayberry, Dwarf Wax-myrtle | Pine savannas, pine flatwoods, relatively moist to extremely dry sites in sandhills (such as under Quercus laevis and Q. geminata), typically over spodosols. | A Southeastern Coastal Plain endemic: se.

| Myricaceae | Myrica | Sweet Gale |  (c) Fleming, Gary P. | ||
| Myricaceae | Myrica gale | Sweet Gale | Peaty bogs and fens. | A species of n. Europe and n. North America, south in North America to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, and Oregon, disjunct from Pennsylvania and s. New Jersey to Grayson Co. Virginia (where discovered in 2018) and Henderson County, North Carolina, where considered extirpated at one time, as a result of the destruction of the famous East Flat Rock Bog. This shrub has been relocated at a single site in Henderson County, North Carolina, where it is abundant in a small area (less than 0.25 hectare). | (c) Fleming, Gary P. |
