Titi swamp


Titi swamp is a swamp habitat in Florida and Georgia where species of Cliftonia monophylla and/or Cyrilla racemiflora predominate. Titi swamps are characterized by their nutrient rich and wet soil, that is ideal for the growth of C. monophylia and C. racemiflora, which are both perennial trees/shrubs.
The town of Ty Ty in Tift County, Georgia is named after one of the numerous small creeks named, in turn, for the presence of these scrubby trees in their boggy fringes.
