Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus laevis / Leiophyllum buxifolium - Cyrilla racemiflora - Clethra alnifolia Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: The open to scattered canopy consists of <i>Pinus palustris</i>. A sparse scrub oak layer consists of <i>Quercus laevis</i>. The shrub layer is diverse and includes the juxtaposition of species normally widely separated ecologically by moisture, from pocosin species to xeric sandhill species. Dominant shrubs include <i>Leiophyllum buxifolium, Cyrilla racemiflora, Clethra alnifolia, Vaccinium tenellum</i>, and <i>Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa)</i>. Other shrubs include <i>Hypericum lloydii, Vaccinium crassifolium ssp. sempervirens (= Vaccinium sempervirens), Kalmia latifolia, Lyonia mariana</i>, and <i>Gaylussacia frondosa (= var. frondosa)</i>. Herbs are few and include <i>Liatris</i> sp. and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>. This community occurs on sandstone outcrops and gravel beds on exposed ridge situations in a landscape of longleaf pine sandhills. Occurrences of this community are small and are limited to rare and localized edaphic situations, where sandstone, gravel, and kaolinite outcrops provide subirrigation, augmenting the water supply. In this respect, this community shows a conceptual similarity to the ~<i>Pinus palustris / Quercus marilandica / Vaccinium crassifolium / Aristida stricta</i> Woodland (CEGL003599)$$ but differs consistently in floristic composition (for instance in lacking three of the four nominal species).
