Name: Pinus x maestrensis / Clethra cubensis - Cyathea arborea Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Montane mixed pinewoods occurring as isolated stands in the mountain ranges of southeastern Cuba. The upper canopy is dominated by <i>Pinus x maestrensis</i>, with strong admixture of broad-leaved trees such as <i>Myrsine coriacea</i>. Smaller trees, e.g. <i>Weinmannia pinnata, Garrya fadyenia, Ilex macfadyenii</i>, and others, are often common. Very characteristic of this association is the constant presence of tree-ferns (i.e. <i>Cyathea arborea, Alsophila aspera</i>) and typical southeastern Cuban montane rainforest species such as <i>Clethra cubensis, Vaccinium leonis, Lyonia calycosa</i>, and <i>Myrica punctata</i>. DISTRIBUTION: Southeast Cuba: Sierra Maestra (northern slopes) and Gran Piedra ranges.
