Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community is a low (4-7 m in height), xeric forest with occasional emergent trees, occurring over limestone. Vegetation is dense with an abundance of low, branching stems. The tallest trees are typically Thrinax morrisii, Metopium toxiferum, Conocarpus erectus, Pinus elliottii var. densa and Guapira discolor. Other common trees include Manilkara jaimiqui ssp. emarginata, Piscidia piscipula, Eugenia foetida, Eugenia axillaris, Jacquinia keyensis, and Myrsine floridana. Canopy species, as well as Erithalis fruticosa, Byrsonima lucida, Ernodea littoralis, Chiococca parvifolia, and Randia aculeata may also occur as shrubs in the understory. Only a few shade-tolerant herbs are found beneath the dense forest cover.
