Name: Serenoa repens - Sabal palmetto - Ilex vomitoria - Sideroxylon tenax Scrub
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association represents a "coastal strand" community dominated by <i>Serenoa repens</i> and <i>Ilex vomitoria</i>. This type ranges from Volusia County, Florida, to southern Georgia. Other characteristic species include <i>Sabal palmetto</i> and <i>Sideroxylon tenax</i>. It differs from coastal strand vegetation to the south in its characteristic codominance of <i>Ilex vomitoria</i> and the rarity or absence of more southern (subtropical) floristic elements such as <i>Coccoloba uvifera, Myrsine floridana, Forestiera segregata</i>, and <i>Myrcianthes fragrans</i>. The presence of <i>Sideroxylon tenax</i> and <i>Serenoa repens</i> and the absence of vines differentiate it from the dune "shrub/vine" thickets on barrier islands of North and South Carolina, i.e., ~<i>Smilax auriculata - Toxicodendron radicans</i> Vine-Shrubland (CEGL003885)$$.
