Name: Pinus clausa / Quercus geminata - Quercus myrtifolia - Conradina canescens Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Pinus clausa (= var. immuginata) dominates the open and variable canopy of this scrub association. Quercus geminata and Quercus myrtifolia are dominant scrub oaks, though others, such as Quercus virginiana, may be present. Some examples may exhibit an almost closed canopy. Conradina canescens is a common shrub; other coastal indicators sometimes present include Clinopodium coccineum (= Calamintha coccinea) and Chrysoma pauciflosculosa. Other typical shrubs include Licania michauxii and Polygonella polygama. This association is restricted to the Panhandle of Florida and adjacent southern Alabama. It occurs near the coast, but can grade into a shrubland community on coastal terraces in very near-coastal situations. Many species present in the several peninsular Florida sand pine scrub communities are lacking from this association, such as Ilex opaca var. arenicola, Sabal etonia, Quercus inopina, Osmanthus americanus var. megacarpus, Persea humilis, and many more.
