Name: Quercus myrtifolia - Quercus geminata - Ceratiola ericoides - Conradina canescens Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This is a 'coastal scrub' community of the Panhandle of Florida, from Escambia County west to Franklin County, and in Baldwin County, Alabama, especially on the mainland (non-barrier island) coast from Destin (Walton County) east to Panama City (Bay County). It differs from Florida Atlantic Coast oak scrubs by having such panhandle species as Chrysoma pauciflosculosa, Polygonella macrophylla, Lupinus westianus, Chrysopsis gossypina ssp. cruiseana, Chrysopsis godfreyi, and Conradina canescens. Characteristic lichens are Cladina evansii, Cladonia prostrata, and Cladonia leporina. Other characteristic species include Pinus clausa (dwarfed), Serenoa repens, Ilex vomitoria, Osmanthus americanus, Polygonella gracilis, Polygonella polygama, Balduina angustifolia, Agalinis filifolia, Asclepias humistrata, and Licania michauxii. This community differs from more inland panhandle scrubs in the absence of a closed Pinus clausa canopy and infrequency of Lyonia ferruginea in the shrub layer.
