Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus (laevis, myrtifolia) / Aristida beyrichiana - Chapmannia floridana Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This central Florida sandhill is dominated by an open canopy of Pinus palustris. This community typically lacks a well-developed subcanopy, especially in contrast to surrounding Pinus clausa scrub vegetation. However, the shrub layer may be well-developed, even under frequent fire conditions, and appears to be dominated by sprouts of Quercus laevis and Quercus myrtifolia. A rich herbaceous layer is present. Characteristic species in this stratum are Aristida beyrichiana and Licania michauxii. In addition, a number of species found primarily in central Florida may also be present, among the most frequent of which is Chapmannia floridana. Other geographically limited species may include Sabal etonia, Polygonella ciliata, and Arnoglossum floridanum.
