Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus marilandica / Schizachyrium scoparium - Silphium laciniatum - Ruellia humilis Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This small-patch Pinus palustris community is associated with outcroppings of calcareous and/or high calcium clay soils in the inner Coastal Plain on Tertiary terraces of the West Gulf Coastal Plain of Louisiana and Texas. Edaphic limitations produce a widely spaced, even stunted woodland canopy that contrasts strikingly with surrounding open Pinus palustris woodlands on deeper soils. A continuous herbaceous cover is present. The most abundant ground flora species in Texas are Coelorachis rugosa, Eryngium yuccifolium, Andropogon gyrans, and Schizachyrium scoparium. Silphium laciniatum is a good indicator species of this community.
