The trees of the bottom lands in this region do not differ 

 materially from those of lowlands throughout the State. 

 In the southern part of the region the larger stream bottoms 

 present some characteristics derived from the Mississippi 

 Delta. For example, the gray moss {Tillandsia usneoides), 

 the eared magnolia {Magnolia Fraseri), and notably the 

 dwarf palmetto {Sabal minor) are found here, but have 

 not been noted further north in this region, or in any of 

 the regions lying to the east. Characteristic lowland 

 trees are: 



Quercus alba, Liquidambar styraciflua, 



Qu^rcus Michauxii, Fraxinus Americana,
