Name: Quercus stellata - Carya texana - (Pinus palustris) / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum - Ranunculus fascicularis Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community is found along margins and along broad intermittent drainages associated with Catahoula Barrens in the West Gulf Coastal Plain of eastern Texas. <i>Quercus stellata</i> is the dominant tree; others may include <i>Carya texana</i> and <i>Quercus marilandica</i>. The shrub stratum is now currently dense but was probably formerly open because of fire and includes <i>Ilex vomitoria, Forestiera ligustrina, Vaccinium arboreum, Crataegus marshallii, Crataegus spathulata, Crataegus brachyacantha, Gelsemium sempervirens</i>, and <i>Cissus trifoliata (= Cissus incisa)</i>. The herb stratum is sparse to dense becoming increasingly sparse in the absence of fire and the consequent build-up of hardwood leaf litter. The herb layer is dominated by <i>Chasmanthium sessiliflorum</i>. <i>Ranunculus fascicularis</i> may be abundant in the springtime.
