Description:
This association occurs in eastern Georgia on sandy loam soils. Pinus palustris forms an open to closed canopy. A scrub oak stratum of Quercus incana, Quercus stellata, Quercus margarettiae, and (less typically) Quercus laevis can manifest itself as a subcanopy or as a shrub layer, depending on fire regime, and occasional individuals may reach the canopy. The shrub layer can be sparse to dense, and contains Castanea pumila, Ceanothus microphyllus, Diospyros virginiana, Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Lyonia mariana, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera var. pumila), Serenoa repens, Vaccinium myrsinites, and scrub oak sprouts. Dominants of the herbaceous stratum include Sporobolus curtissii, Aristida beyrichiana, and Sporobolus junceus. Other characteristic herbs include abundant and diverse legumes, Sericocarpus tortifolius (= Aster tortifolius), Symphyotrichum walteri (= Aster walteri), Baptisia perfoliata, Cnidoscolus stimulosus, Crotalaria rotundifolia, Desmodium spp., Dyschoriste oblongifolia, Eriogonum tomentosum, Eryngium yuccifolium var. synchaetum, Eupatorium album, Euphorbia exserta, Galactia spp., Ionactis linariifolius, Lespedeza spp., Pityopsis spp., Pteridium aquilinum var. pseudocaudatum, Pterocaulon pycnostachyum, Rhynchosia difformis, Rhynchosia reniformis, Salvia azurea, Solidago odora var. odora, and Vernonia pulchella.
