Name: Quercus myrtifolia - Quercus geminata - Hamamelis virginiana - (Elliottia racemosa) Shrubland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association occurs on river-associated high dunes in eastern Georgia, along the Altamaha (and Ohoopee?) River. Scattered trees occur, primarily Quercus geminata and Elliottia racemosa. The dominant shrub is Quercus myrtifolia. Other common shrubs include Osmanthus americanus, Quercus geminata, Vaccinium arboreum, Elliottia racemosa, Hamamelis virginiana (small leaf form), Vaccinium stamineum, Persea borbonia, Gaylussacia tomentosa (= Gaylussacia frondosa var. tomentosa), Serenoa repens, and Vaccinium virgatum. Herbs are essentially absent. Cladina evansii forms a nearly continuous ground layer, with scattered patches of Dicranum condensatum. Adjacent xeric sandhill communities clearly once had an open canopy of Pinus palustris, and this community may have had very widely scattered Pinus palustris individuals as well. This association seems to be the northernmost manifestation (and attenuation) of 'Florida scrub.' It is uncertain whether this community also occurs on the Ohoopee Dunes. Classification is uncertain and additional information is needed.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20970.QUERCUSMYRTIFOL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
