Name: Ernodea littoralis - Forestiera segregata var. segregata - Coccoloba uvifera - Jacquinia keyensis Shrubland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This 'coastal strand' community is found in southwestern Florida, ranging from Charlotte County south to Monroe County. It is distinguished from coastal strand communities of the Atlantic Coast of Florida by the absence of Serenoa repens and the abundance of Ernodea littoralis, and the frequent presence of species such as Jacquinia keyensis, Sideroxylon celastrinum, Piscidia piscipula, and Suriana maritima. Also, in contrast to the Atlantic Coast where strand occurs as dense stands of low shrubs immediately inland of the beach dune community, coastal strand on the southwestern Florida coast tends to occur as shrubby islands in coastal grassland or an open stand of shrubs between coastal grassland and maritime hammock communities. Other characteristic species include Lantana involucrata (exotic), Sabal palmetto, Randia aculeata, Sideroxylon celastrinum, Chiococca alba, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Ardisia escallonoides, Myrsine floridana, Sophora tomentosa, Dalbergia ecastaphyllum, Opuntia stricta, Piscidia piscipula, Pithecellobium keyense, Ambrosia hispida, and Pithecellobium unguis-cati.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18112.ERNODEALITTORAL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
