Cypress Swamp
Cypress domes and strands on Dinner Island are dominated by
bald cypress with red maple, sweet bay and swamp laurel oak.
Popash and cabbage palms appear in the subcanopy. The understory
is relatively open and includes buttonbush and wax myrtle.
Lizard’s tail is abundant. Bromeliads and other epiphytes are
found in the branches of the trees and the boots of the cabbage
palm leaves.
