Name: Zanthoxylum fagara Shrubland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes diverse maritime shrublands on old beach and shell ridges along the Central Gulf Coast of Texas. The soils are generally deep sands mixed with shell and lack substantial organic matter. This 1.5- to 4-m tall shrubland is dominated by a variable mixture of temperate and tropical shrubs (44 native species have been documented), but occurs in a temperate climate. While dominants vary between occurrences, Zanthoxylum fagara, Forestiera angustifolia, Amyris texana, Condalia hookeri, Diospyros texana, Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa, Opuntia engelmannii var. lindheimeri, and Yucca treculeana are present at all known occurrences. While Sideroxylon lanuginosum ssp. albicans (= Bumelia lanuginosa var. albicans) occurs as a dominant shrub and sometimes emergent small tree in more northern occurrences, it is absent from more southern occurrences, where Sideroxylon celastrinum occurs as a dominant shrub. In the single known occurrence where the two species occur together, Sideroxylon lanuginosum ssp. albicans occupies the upper shrub canopy while Sideroxylon celastrinum occupies the lower shrub layer.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24687.ZANTHOXYLUMFAGA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
