These are the Carnegie , Sunsweet , and Varina series in the same family. Carnegie and Sunsweet soils have horizons with more than 5 percent plinthite at depths of less than 26 inches. Varina soils have Bt horizons in hue yellower than 5YR and have less than 5 percent nodules of ironstone in their sola. Nearly level to sloping uplands of the Coastal Plains. Slopes range from 0 to 12 percent but are more commonly 0 to 8 percent.
