Name: Pinus palustris - (Pinus serotina) / Ilex glabra - Gaylussacia frondosa - (Kalmia carolina) Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Pinus palustris (and sometimes Pinus taeda or Pinus serotina) dominates the open canopy of this Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain flatwoods. The shrub layer is often dense, dominated by Gaylussacia frondosa, Ilex glabra, Gaylussacia baccata, Clethra alnifolia, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Lyonia mariana, and Arundinaria gigantea ssp. tecta. Other characteristic species include Vaccinium crassifolium, Pteridium aquilinum var. pseudocaudatum, and Pyxidanthera barbulata. This community is poorly understood, since few examples remain, and these are in poor condition. These communities are moist to wet longleaf pine flatwoods north of the range of Aristida stricta.
