Description:
This alliance is a characteristic component of coastal vegetation on shores of the Florida peninsula and West Indies. These maritime shrublands are characterized (and generally dominated or codominated, as well) by ~Coccoloba uvifera$, which occurs in a dwarfed, shrubby condition because of wind-pruning, salt-pruning, or (to the north) frost-pruning. Other characteristic woody species (many of them pan-Caribbean or pan-tropical coastal species) include ~Ernodea littoralis, Forestiera segregata var. segregata, Jacquinia keyensis, Scaevola plumieri, Sideroxylon celastrinum, Piscidia piscipula, Suriana maritima, Lantana involucrata$ (exotic), ~Caesalpinia bonduc, Sabal palmetto, Randia aculeata, Chiococca alba, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Ardisia escallonoides, Myrsine floridana, Sophora tomentosa, Dalbergia ecastaphyllum, Opuntia stricta, Piscidia piscipula, Pithecellobium keyense, Ambrosia hispida, Pithecellobium unguis-cati, Bursera simaruba$, and ~Metopium toxiferum$.
