Name: Conocarpus erectus - Metopium toxiferum Saturated Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This wetland hammock alliance occurs as 'tree islands' in wet prairies of southern Florida, generally dominated by Conocarpus erectus and Metopium toxiferum. Other tree species in the 4- to 15-m tall canopy are Acoelorraphe wrightii (= Paurotis wrightii) and Sabal palmetto, which often occur as 'emergents,' forming a conspicuous open supercanopy over the dense lower canopy. Subcanopy and shrub species include Chrysobalanus icaco, Sabal palmetto, and Myrsine floridana. Epiphytes are abundant, and include Tillandsia spp. and Encyclia tampensis.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20947.CONOCARPUSERECT Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
