Name: Pinus clausa / Quercus geminata - Quercus myrtifolia - Conradina canescens Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: <i>Pinus clausa (= var. immuginata)</i> dominates the open and variable canopy of this scrub association. <i>Quercus geminata</i> and <i>Quercus myrtifolia</i> are dominant scrub oaks, though others, such as <i>Quercus virginiana</i>, may be present. Some examples may exhibit an almost closed canopy. <i>Conradina canescens</i> is a common shrub; other coastal indicators sometimes present include <i>Clinopodium coccineum (= Calamintha coccinea)</i> and <i>Chrysoma pauciflosculosa</i>. Other typical shrubs include <i>Licania michauxii</i> and <i>Polygonella polygama</i>. This association is restricted to the Panhandle of Florida and adjacent southern Alabama. It occurs near the coast, but can grade into a shrubland community on coastal terraces in very near-coastal situations. Many species present in the several peninsular Florida sand pine scrub communities are lacking from this association, such as <i>Ilex opaca var. arenicola, Sabal etonia, Quercus inopina, Osmanthus americanus var. megacarpus, Persea humilis</i>, and many more.
