Description:
This pine flatwoods community occurs in eastern Georgia. The open (to fairly closed) canopy is characterized by Pinus palustris, although Pinus elliottii var. elliottii can be present as well. Depending on fire regime, the ground layer can be shrub-dominated or herb-dominated, but composition does not change greatly. Typical shrubs include Ilex glabra, Gaylussacia tomentosa (= Gaylussacia frondosa var. tomentosa), Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera var. cerifera), Serenoa repens, Photinia pyrifolia (= Aronia arbutifolia), Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Kalmia hirsuta, and Vaccinium myrtilloides. The grass layer is typically dominated by mixtures of Sporobolus pinetorum, sometimes with admixtures of Sporobolus curtissii, Ctenium aromaticum, or Aristida beyrichiana. Other characteristic species include Andropogon glaucopsis (= Andropogon glomeratus var. glaucopsis), Andropogon glomeratus var. hirsutior, Aristida spiciformis, Oclemena reticulata (= Aster reticulatus), Balduina uniflora, Bigelowia nudata ssp. nudata, Carphephorus paniculatus, Carphephorus tomentosus, Centella erecta, Cleistes sp., Coreopsis linifolia, Eupatorium leucolepis, Euthamia caroliniana (= Euthamia minor), Hypericum gymnanthum, Lycopodiella alopecuroides, Pogonia ophioglossoides, Polygala lutea, Rhexia alifanus, Rhexia lutea, Rhynchospora baldwinii, Rhynchospora ciliaris, Sarracenia flava, Sarracenia minor, Syngonanthus flavidulus, Xyris baldwiniana, and Xyris caroliniana.
