Description:
This pine flatwoods community occurs in eastern Georgia. The open (to fairly closed) canopy is characterized by <i>Pinus palustris</i>, although <i>Pinus elliottii var. elliottii</i> can be present as well. Depending on fire regime, the ground layer can be shrub-dominated or herb-dominated, but composition does not change greatly. Typical shrubs include <i>Ilex glabra, Gaylussacia tomentosa (= Gaylussacia frondosa var. tomentosa), Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera var. cerifera), Serenoa repens, Photinia pyrifolia (= Aronia arbutifolia), Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Kalmia hirsuta</i>, and <i>Vaccinium myrtilloides</i>. The grass layer is typically dominated by mixtures of <i>Sporobolus pinetorum</i>, sometimes with admixtures of <i>Sporobolus curtissii, Ctenium aromaticum</i>, or <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i>. Other characteristic species include <i>Andropogon glaucopsis (= Andropogon glomeratus var. glaucopsis), Andropogon glomeratus var. hirsutior, Aristida spiciformis, Oclemena reticulata (= Aster reticulatus), Balduina uniflora, Bigelowia nudata ssp. nudata, Carphephorus paniculatus, Carphephorus tomentosus, Centella erecta, Cleistes</i> sp., <i>Coreopsis linifolia, Eupatorium leucolepis, Euthamia caroliniana (= Euthamia minor), Hypericum gymnanthum, Lycopodiella alopecuroides, Pogonia ophioglossoides, Polygala lutea, Rhexia alifanus, Rhexia lutea, Rhynchospora baldwinii, Rhynchospora ciliaris, Sarracenia flava, Sarracenia minor, Syngonanthus flavidulus, Xyris baldwiniana</i>, and <i>Xyris caroliniana</i>.
