Very few of the trees that I saw were over a foot in diameter, 

 but there may be larger ones in other parts of the swamp. 

 Evergreens predominate, as in many other sour swamps. Ilex 

 coriacea is more abundant than all the other shrubs combined. 

 Except for the presence of Chamaecyparis, this swamp is much 

 like the non-alluvial swamps of South Georgia,! Bear Swamp in 

 Autauga County, Alabama,! the bays of West Florida,! and 

 many other coastal plain swamps with soft water which does 

 not vary much in level from one season to another.
