Name: Conocarpus erectus - Sideroxylon celastrinum - Erithalis fruticosa - Manilkara jaimiqui ssp. emarginata Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest is 3-7 m tall, with a diverse canopy (usually no species with more than 25% cover) codominated by mixtures of Conocarpus erectus, Sideroxylon celastrinum, Erithalis fruticosa, Manilkara jaimiqui ssp. emarginata, Pithecellobium keyense, Eugenia foetida, Metopium toxiferum, Jacquinia keyensis, Coccoloba uvifera, Ximenia americana, Suriana maritima, Reynosia septentrionalis, Guapira discolor. "These sites include the most upslope locations to be inundated in the absence of a major tropical storm. Water may be ponded for a short time ... when high tides and periods of heavy rain coincide, particularly during the late summer. A recognizable feature of this Unit at any time of year are the very shallow soils, without significant accumulations of organic matter" (Ross et al. 1992). Other characteristic species include Thrinax morrisii, Thrinax radiata, Coccothrinax argentata, Casasia clusiifolia, Maytenus phyllanthoides, Randia aculeata, Eugenia axillaris, Solanum erianthum, Sideroxylon salicifolium.
