Name: Quercus myrtifolia - Quercus geminata - Quercus chapmanii Shrubland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This scrub community is a xeromorphic shrubland dominated by evergreen scrub oaks. It occurs in the northern Florida panhandle, the northern to central peninsula, on Floyds Island in the Okefenokee Swamp, on Cumberland Island, Georgia, and possibly into southwestern Alabama. This is the more northern-central scrub oak community in Florida. The white or light-colored sandy soils are extremely well-drained and infertile. Scrub oaks <i>Quercus myrtifolia, Quercus chapmanii</i>, and <i>Quercus geminata</i> dominate along with <i>Lyonia ferruginea</i> and other species, many with restricted distributions, such as <i>Ceratiola ericoides</i> and <i>Serenoa repens</i>. The herb layer is generally sparse and frequently dominated by lichens (<i>Cladonia leporina, Cladonia prostrata, Cladina evansii</i>, and <i>Cladina subtenuis</i>).  Accession Code: VB.CC.35350.CEGL003825 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
