Name: Metopium toxiferum Woodland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance consists of woodlands of tropical Florida, characterized by an open canopy of Metopium toxiferum and mixtures of other tropical species. The only association defined in this alliance has a short canopy (3-7 m) and is dominated by Metopium toxiferum, Thrinax morrisii, and Byrsonima lucida, with other tropical hammock species. Understory species present include Schizachyrium spp., Flaveria linearis, Croton linearis, and Borrichia frutescens. The open canopy structure is perhaps maintained in part by prescribed burning. In the southeastern United States, this alliance occurs on exposures of Pleistocene Limestone (oolite) of the Miami Formation in the Florida Keys. It may well occur in the Bahamas or in the West Indies.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19851.METOPIUMTOXIFER Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
