Name: Quercus myrtifolia - Quercus geminata - Ceratiola ericoides - Conradina canescens Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This is a 'coastal scrub' community of the Panhandle of Florida, from Escambia County west to Franklin County, and in Baldwin County, Alabama, especially on the mainland (non-barrier island) coast from Destin (Walton County) east to Panama City (Bay County). It differs from Florida Atlantic Coast oak scrubs by having such panhandle species as <i>Chrysoma pauciflosculosa, Polygonella macrophylla, Lupinus westianus, Chrysopsis gossypina ssp. cruiseana, Chrysopsis godfreyi</i>, and <i>Conradina canescens</i>. Characteristic lichens are <i>Cladina evansii, Cladonia prostrata</i>, and <i>Cladonia leporina</i>. Other characteristic species include <i>Pinus clausa</i> (dwarfed), <i>Serenoa repens, Ilex vomitoria, Osmanthus americanus, Polygonella gracilis, Polygonella polygama, Balduina angustifolia, Agalinis filifolia, Asclepias humistrata</i>, and <i>Licania michauxii</i>. This community differs from more inland panhandle scrubs in the absence of a closed <i>Pinus clausa</i> canopy and infrequency of <i>Lyonia ferruginea</i> in the shrub layer.
