Cedar swamps are bogs dominated by dense, generally 

 even-aged stands of Atlantic Coastal Plain from New Jersey north. 

 While sphagnum bogs are usually small, cedar swamps may be exten- 

 sive as in sections of the Pocomoke River swamp. Pitch pine 

 Pinus rigida is widely scattered while red maple Acer rub rum , 

 black gum Nyssa sylvatica , and sweet bay Magnolia virginiana 

 form a dense understory. Other typical shrub species include 

 highbush blueberry Vaccinium corymbosum , fetterbush Leucothoe 

 spp . clammy azalea Rhododendron viscosum and bayberry Myrica 

 pennsylvanica . The herbaceous ground cover includes chain fern 

 Woodwardia virginica , bladderworts Utricularia spp . , pitcher 

 plant Sarracenia purpurea , swamp pink Calopogon pulchellus , and 

 partridgeberry Mitchella repens which are generally rather 

 common.
