COMPARATIVE COMPOSITION OF VEGETATION TYPES AT 
Java Farm 
FOREST TYPES 
HARDWOODS 
1A. Beech, Tuliptree. 
1B. 
Mature upland hardwoods on 
gentle west- or south-facing 
slopes above tributary of Muddy 
Creek. Canopy mainly Fagus grand- 
ifolia; less Liriodendron tulipi- 
fera, Quercus coccinea, and other 
hardwoods. Understory of canopy 
species, plus Cornus florida, Acer 
rubrum, etc. Shrub and ground 
floras include Euonymous americana, 
Epifagus virginiana, and Hypoxis 
hirsuta (none of these found in 
Type 1B). Rhus radicans and 
Lonicera japonica virtually absent. 
Beech, Tuliptree, Oaks, Hickories. 
Mature upland hardwoods. 
Fagus grandifolia and Liriodendron 
tulipifera throughout canopy; Li- 
quidambar styraciflua, Quercus 
alba, Q. coccinea, Q. velutina, 
Carya tomentosa, and fewer Q. fal- 
cata and C. glabra. Composition of 
canopy variable. Understory of 
canopy species, plus Cornus florida 
Acer rubrum, Carpinus caroliniana, 
and infrequent sprouts of Castanea 
dentata. Shrubs include Viburnum 
prunifolium and infrequent Vaccini- 
um staminium. Rhus radicans and 
Lonicera japonica moderately abun- 
dant. Rich herbaceous flora, most 
species not found in Type lA. 
Herbaceous flora seems to vary 
with composition of the canopy. At 
one point, near the head of the 
tidal portion of Muddy Creek, the 
shrub and herbaceous flora resem- 
bles that of Type 4A. 
JAVA FARM AND IVY NECK 
Ivy Neck 
FOREST TYPES 
HARDWOODS 
No counterpart. 
11B. White and Black Oaks, Sweetgum, 
Tuliptree, Hickories. 
Moderately mature lowland 
hardwoods; canopy resembles 
that of Type 1B, but contains 
infrequent Robinia pseudoacacia 
and has less Fagus grandifolia. 
Main difference is in under- 
story and ground floras, 
which reflect poor drainage 
of Ivy Neck. (More Nyssa 
sylvatica, Viburnum prunifolium, 
Cercis canadensis, Lindera 
benzoin, Podophyllum peltatum, 
Arisaema atrorubens, etc.) Rhus 
radicans and Lonicera japonica 
moderately abundant.
