Name: Pinus palustris / Serenoa repens - Vaccinium myrsinites / Aristida beyrichiana - Sporobolus curtissii Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This Pinus palustris flatwoods community is found in the South Atlantic Coastal Plain of northeastern Florida and southern Georgia, ranging into southern South Carolina. It is typified by a very open or naturally sparse canopy of Pinus palustris. Some stands have relatively minor amounts of Pinus elliottii present as well. Sporobolus curtissii is diagnostic of this type, at least relative to other Pinus palustris flatwoods in northern Florida. Aristida beyrichiana is also common. The shrub layer is well-developed and often dense, usually dominated by some combination of Serenoa repens, Vaccinium myrsinites, Gaylussacia tomentosa (= Gaylussacia frondosa var. tomentosa), Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Ilex glabra, Lyonia lucida, Quercus minima, and lesser amounts of Quercus pumila. In some sites, the herb layer is poorly developed and not very diverse; in other areas Sporobolus curtissii and Aristida beyrichiana are abundant and other herbs are diverse.
