Name: Celtis laevigata - Tilia americana var. caroliniana / Aesculus pavia Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association is a calcareous coastal fringe forest of the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain of North Carolina and presumably South Carolina. The only well-documented site occurs on an Indian shell midden. The short canopy includes Persea palustris, Celtis laevigata var. laevigata, Acer barbatum, Tilia americana var. caroliniana, Cornus foemina (= Cornus stricta), and Ilex vomitoria. Shrubs include Ilex vomitoria, Aesculus pavia var. pavia, and Sabal minor. Woody vines are common, and include Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Toxicodendron radicans, Berchemia scandens, and Smilax spp. The herb stratum is sparse. This community type may extend into the South Atlantic Coastal Plain.
