| Cupressaceae | Chamaecyparis thyoides var. henryae | Panhandle White Cedar | Blackwater stream swamps, depression ponds and borrow pits with pond cypress, wet pine flatwood ecotones, ditches, borders of tidal wetlands. | Var. henryae is sometimes interpreted as endemic of the w. Panhandle of FL and s. AL east of Mobile Bay, notably in the drainages of the Yellow River, Blackwater River, Escambia River, and Perdido River, with populations further west (in s. MS) as being part of Chamaecyparis thyoides var. thyoides, or arguably in a third, unnamed, clade. | |
| Cupressaceae | Chamaecyparis thyoides var. thyoides | Atlantic White Cedar, Juniper | Peat dome and streamhead pocosins, blackwater stream swamps, hillside seepages, in highly acidic, peaty or sandy soils. | S. ME south to n. FL and west to s. MS. The westernmost populations of Chamaecyparis thyoides have conflicting evidence as to identification as var. henryae or var. thyoides; they are here included in var. henryae, but may be better considered as part of var. thyoides or as a separate taxon. From NJ south it is strictly a tree of the Coastal Plain; northward it is often found in kettle-hole bogs. In SC and GA, C. thyoides is absent in the outer Coastal Plain, occurring primarily in the fall-line Sandhills. |  |
