Name: Schizachyrium maritimum Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance represents coastal dune communities of the Panhandle of Florida and adjacent Alabama dominated or codominated by Schizachyrium maritimum. Examples from the western Panhandle of Florida and southern Alabama are distinguished by the regular presence of Paronychia erecta, Chrysopsis godfreyi, Balduina angustifolia, Galactia microphylla, Chrysopsis gossypina ssp. cruiseana, and Chrysoma pauciflosculosa, and the usual absence of Heterotheca subaxillaris. Other characteristic species include Balduina angustifolia, Galactia microphylla, Chrysopsis gossypina ssp. cruiseana, Chrysoma pauciflosculosa, and Uniola paniculata. Examples on the eastern Panhandle of Florida are distinguished by the presence (and usual codominance) of Heterotheca subaxillaris and absence of Paronychia erecta, Chrysopsis godfreyi, Balduina angustifolia, Galactia microphylla, Chrysopsis gossypina ssp. cruiseana, and Chrysoma pauciflosculosa. Other characteristic species include Croton punctatus. Characteristically found on coastal sands with little or no profile development.
