Name: Hypericum lissophloeus Seasonally Flooded Shrubland Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Communities dominated by Hypericum lissophloeus (shrub to 4 m tall), in sinkhole ponds and lakes in the Florida Panhandle, have other unique components. Hypericum lissophloeus forms a dense tall-shrub layer 3-5 m tall on the outer margins of the steeply sloping pond margins. Other associated species include Chrysoma pauciflosculosa, Hypericum reductum, Lupinus westianus var. westianus, Panicum virgatum, Andropogon glaucopsis, Andropogon capillipes, Panicum hemitomon, Centella erecta, Dichanthelium spp., Lachnocaulon minus, Ludwigia suffruticosa, and Eleocharis spp. This alliance is limited to a single association which is endemic to sinkhole ponds in Bay and Washington counties, Florida. The group of sinkhole ponds vegetated with this alliance are unusually large, steep-sided, and deep, with as much as 30 m elevation change from rim (sandhill) to center. The hydrology is seasonally flooded, but the amplitude is great, with the zone where Hypericum lissophloeus is concentrated being flooded as much as 1.5 m deep, or being exposed up to 1.5 m above the water level.
