Name: Ulmus crassifolia - Celtis laevigata - (Ulmus rubra) / Carex digitalis - Geum canadense Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This floodplain forest occurs along the southwestern periphery of the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain (and the adjacent West Gulf Coastal Plain) in eastern Texas. Ulmus crassifolia and Celtis laevigata are diagnostic of this type, and some examples have almost no other overstory species present, although Quercus phellos, Quercus similis, and Ulmus rubra are sometimes present. Ulmus crassifolia and/or Ulmus alata usually dominates the midstory with some Fraxinus pennsylvanica also present, as well as Forestiera ligustrina as a shrub. The most frequent herbaceous species include Poa autumnalis, Symphyotrichum racemosum (= Aster racemosus), Elymus virginicus, Trepocarpus aethusae, Ruellia strepens, Dichanthelium commutatum, Carex cherokeensis, Oplismenus hirtellus, Phanopyrum gymnocarpon (= Panicum gymnocarpon), and Muhlenbergia schreberi. In addition, Carex digitalis and Geum canadense are characteristic. Seedlings of Poncirus trifoliata (= Citrus trifoliata; exotic) and Fraxinus pennsylvanica may also be common. In lower, wetter portions, the lower strata of this community may be dominated by Chasmanthium latifolium and Sabal minor.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19766.ULMUSCRASSIFOLI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
