Name: Quercus geminata - Quercus myrtifolia - Serenoa repens - Sideroxylon tenax - Ximenia americana Scrub
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This coastal scrub association occurs in southeastern Florida, in southern Brevard, Martin, and Palm Beach counties. <i>Ximenia americana</i> and <i>Cassytha filiformis</i> reflect a more southern floristic association in this coastal oak scrub community. It forms a narrow strip along the coast on acidic sands, often immediately adjacent to a southeastern coastal strand community on alkaline sands of more recent deposits in which the shell component has not yet been leached out. The community lacks the <i>Pinus clausa</i> found in inland scrubs along this coast, such as at Jonathon Dickinson State Park in Martin County. Other characteristic species include <i>Quercus chapmanii, Persea humilis</i>, and <i>Cassytha filiformis</i>.
