Name: Pinus palustris - (Pinus serotina) / Ilex glabra - Gaylussacia frondosa - (Kalmia carolina) Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: <i>Pinus palustris</i> (and sometimes <i>Pinus taeda</i> or <i>Pinus serotina</i>) dominates the open canopy of this Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain flatwoods. The shrub layer is often dense, dominated by <i>Gaylussacia frondosa, Ilex glabra, Gaylussacia baccata, Clethra alnifolia, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Lyonia mariana</i>, and <i>Arundinaria gigantea ssp. tecta</i>. Other characteristic species include <i>Vaccinium crassifolium, Pteridium aquilinum var. pseudocaudatum</i>, and <i>Pyxidanthera barbulata</i>. This community is poorly understood, since few examples remain, and these are in poor condition. These communities are moist to wet longleaf pine flatwoods north of the range of <i>Aristida stricta</i>.
