Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus laevis - Quercus incana / Aristida beyrichiana - Baptisia perfoliata Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association occurs in the xeric habitats of the sandhills and inner South Atlantic Coastal Plain of eastern and central Georgia and adjacent South Carolina and northeastern Florida. Pinus palustris forms an open to closed canopy. A scrub oak stratum of Quercus laevis, Quercus incana, and less typically Quercus margarettiae can manifest itself as a subcanopy or as a shrub layer, depending on fire regime, and occasional individuals may reach the canopy. The shrub layer can be sparse to dense and may contain Diospyros virginiana, Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Vaccinium stamineum, Sassafras albidum, Toxicodendron pubescens, Hypericum hypericoides, and scrub oak sprouts. Dominants of the herbaceous stratum include Aristida beyrichiana, Schizachyrium scoparium, Gelsemium sempervirens, and Tephrosia virginiana. Other characteristic herbs may include Baptisia perfoliata, Cnidoscolus stimulosus, Dichanthelium sp., Eriogonum tomentosum, Euphorbia sp., Nolina georgiana, Pityopsis aspera var. adenolepis (= Pityopsis adenolepis), Polygonella americana, Solidago odora var. odora, Sporobolus junceus, and Stylisma patens.
