Cypress is a tree of relatively few associates. These are all hard- 
woods, with the exception of southern white cedar. Preeminent 
among all associated species in the deeper and fresher waters from 
Virginia to Texas is tupelo gum. 
In the inland, poorly drained, nonalluvial and peaty swamps over 
the Atlantic Coastal Plain black gum holds nearly the same rank. 
Other species associated with cypress are water ash, water locust, 
white or swamp bay, and red bay on the Atlantic coast; these and 
the cabbage palmetto, willow oak, and water oak in Florida, and in 
Louisiana the willows and tupelo gum.
