Name: Quercus laurifolia - Sabal palmetto / Myrsine floridana - Psychotria nervosa Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association includes slightly higher hammock islands surrounded by wet prairies of southern Florida. This wetland hammock association occurs in southern Florida, but its range is north of most other tropical hardwood hammocks. The canopy is dominated by warm temperate species <i>Quercus laurifolia</i> and <i>Sabal palmetto</i>. Tropical species, e.g., <i>Myrsine floridana</i> and <i>Psychotria nervosa</i>, are prominent in the subcanopy and shrub strata. These communities often form `tree islands,' surrounded by wet prairies.
