Name: Symphonia globulifera - Alchornea latifolia Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Essentially similar in tree species composition to the <i>Alchornea latifolia - Calyptronoma occidentalis - Solanum acropterum - Piper discolor</i> Forest but distinguished by its more open appearance, the presence of <i>Symphonia globulifera</i> and other species which favor soils with impeded drainage, and the much greater cover of the herb layer. This can be composed of <i>Scleria cubensis, Dicranopteris pectinata</i>, and <i>Odontosoria jenmanii</i>. This association is dispersed in patches among the above-mentioned forest, influenced by impeded drainage, on a dark-brown clay loam with massive structure. DISTRIBUTION: Jamaica: The John Crow Mountains.
