Name: Quercus (incana, margarettiae, arkansana) - (Pinus echinata) - Schizachyrium scoparium Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This xeric sandhill of the West Gulf and Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain ecoregions is dominated by a short-statured, open canopy of Quercus incana and Quercus margarettiae with varying amounts of Pinus echinata. Stands dominated by either Pinus echinata or Pinus palustris are covered by different associations. Quercus arkansana may be present as well, but is much less common in the region than the other nominal oaks. The herbaceous species serve as particularly good indicators of this type, many of which are both fidel to this habitat in the region and endemic to the West Gulf Coastal Plain. These indicators may include Astragalus soxmaniorum, Berlandiera pumila, Matelea cynanchoides, Cnidoscolus texanus, Commelina erecta, Croton argyranthemus, Dalea phleoides, Dalea villosa var. grisea, Delphinium carolinianum, Draba cuneifolia, Eriogonum longifolium, Eriogonum multiflorum, Froelichia floridana, Helianthemum georgianum, Heterotheca subaxillaris, Hymenopappus artemisiifolius, Monarda punctata, Opuntia humifusa, Paronychia drummondii, Pediomelum hypogaeum (= Psoralea hypogaea), Penstemon murrayanus, Physalis cf. heterophylla, Oenothera heterophylla, Schizachyrium scoparium, Scutellaria cardiophylla, Selaginella arenicola ssp. riddellii, Tetragonotheca ludoviciana, and Tradescantia reverchonii. Other characteristic species include Polygonella americana, Quercus marilandica, and Quercus stellata.
