Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus laevis / Serenoa repens / Aristida condensata Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Sandhill community of the East Gulf Coastal Plain, occurring on deep, excessively drained white sand soils, mapped as Troup, Lucy, and Eustis-Lakeland complex. It is restricted in extent due to the limited size of the sand deposits which are usually surrounded by more mesic pine stands. Camp Shelby examples contain stunted, widely spaced trees with a well-developed understory of oaks above a sparse ground cover of lichens and mosses and bare white sand. The open canopy consists of Pinus palustris. The subcanopy consists of Quercus laevis, Quercus hemisphaerica, Quercus incana, and Quercus margarettiae. The shrub stratum consists of Serenoa repens, Osmanthus americanus var. americanus, Vaccinium arboreum, Ilex vomitoria, Ilex opaca var. opaca, and Gelsemium sempervirens. The herb layer consists of Aristida condensata, Andropogon ternarius, Sorghastrum secundum, Chrysopsis gossypina ssp. hyssopifolia, Bulbostylis ciliatifolia, and Pityopsis aspera.
