Name: Serenoa repens Temperate Shrubland Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Shrublands dominated or codominated by Serenoa repens. This alliance includes coastal strand communities of the east coast of Florida and possibly adjacent Georgia. There is considerable floristic variation from north to south, with the more northern examples being codominated by Serenoa repens and Ilex vomitoria and lacking more southern (subtropical) floristic elements. These relatively northern examples contain Sideroxylon tenax, Persea borbonia, Sabal palmetto (dwarfed), Zanthoxylum clava-herculis, Smilax auriculata, Monarda punctata, Erythrina herbacea, and Juniperus virginiana var. silicicola. The more southern examples contain a great variety of shrubs, including Serenoa repens, Coccoloba uvifera, Sideroxylon tenax, Persea borbonia, and Myrsine floridana, as well as Quercus virginiana and Myrcianthes fragrans, but few truly tropical components. Other characteristic species in the southern examples include Quercus virginiana (dwarfed), Myrcianthes fragrans, Forestiera segregata, Sabal palmetto (dwarfed), Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Schinus terebinthifolius (exotic), and Zanthoxylum clava-herculis.
