Name: Fagus grandifolia - Quercus alba / Acer (barbatum, leucoderme) / Solidago auriculata Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This mesic, subcalcareous forest of the West Gulf Coastal Plain of eastern Texas and western Louisiana is typically dominated by an uneven-aged canopy of Fagus grandifolia and Quercus alba. It is further characterized by a rich, vernal understory flora and the presence of a number of species which indicate both mesic and calciphilic habitats in the West Gulf Coastal Plain, such as Acer leucoderme, Acer barbatum, Cercis canadensis var. canadensis, Hamamelis virginiana, Solidago auriculata, Lithospermum tuberosum, Cynoglossum virginianum, Uvularia perfoliata, Dioscorea villosa, and Smilax pumila. This type remains incompletely documented and understood due to relatively recent recognition of the existence of Acer leucoderme in eastern Texas. Viburnum dentatum, Viburnum acerifolium, Aesculus pavia var. pavia, Ilex opaca var. opaca, Asimina triloba, Ostrya virginiana, Carpinus caroliniana ssp. caroliniana, Cornus florida, and Styrax grandifolius are also indicative of this type.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26548.FAGUSGRANDIFOLI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
