Name: Croton linearis - Morinda umbellata / Sporobolus spp. - Panicum spp. Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Grass prairies on Big Pine Key, maintained by fire, with scattered shrubs of Croton linearis, Morinda umbellata (= Morinda royoc), Senna mexicana var. chapmanii, Ximenia americana, and other species recruited from nearby rockland hammocks. This is apparently a natural type, nearly lost by fire suppression, now partially restored by prescribed burning on the Key Deer National Wildlife Refuge. This community is important habitat for Key Deer (Odocoileus virginianus clavium).
