Description: This community is characterized by a 10- to 14-m canopy of Pinus palustris and Pinus echinata patchily distributed over low shrubs, grasses, and forbs, with small, scattered rocky outcrops of serpentine in the Piedmont of Georgia. Quercus marilandica is common in the subcanopy. Common herbs and vines include Schizachyrium scoparium var. scoparium, Baptisia alba, Chrysopsis mariana, Centrosema virginianum, Gelsemium sempervirens, and Manfreda virginica.
