Name: Quercus stellata - Carya texana - (Pinus palustris) / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum - Ranunculus fascicularis Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community is found along margins and along broad intermittent drainages associated with Catahoula Barrens in the West Gulf Coastal Plain of eastern Texas. Quercus stellata is the dominant tree; others may include Carya texana and Quercus marilandica. The shrub stratum is now currently dense but was probably formerly open because of fire and includes Ilex vomitoria, Forestiera ligustrina, Vaccinium arboreum, Crataegus marshallii, Crataegus spathulata, Crataegus brachyacantha, Gelsemium sempervirens, and Cissus trifoliata (= Cissus incisa). The herb stratum is sparse to dense becoming increasingly sparse in the absence of fire and the consequent build-up of hardwood leaf litter. The herb layer is dominated by Chasmanthium sessiliflorum. Ranunculus fascicularis may be abundant in the springtime.
