Name: Pinus elliottii var. elliottii / Serenoa repens - Ilex glabra - Morella cerifera - Ilex vomitoria Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association consists of woodlands dominated by <i>Pinus elliottii var. elliottii</i> found in dune swales and interdune flats on older, well-stabilized portions of barrier islands in west Florida and adjacent Alabama. Canopy closure can vary from open to closed. The shrub stratum is usually dense, with characteristic composition of <i>Ilex vomitoria, Ilex glabra, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Serenoa repens, Quercus geminata, Lyonia lucida, Ilex cassine</i>, and <i>Persea palustris</i>. Wetter swales may be occupied by <i>Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense (= Cladium jamaicense)</i> or <i>Juncus roemerianus</i>. This community differs from mainland <i>Pinus elliottii</i> forests in the absence of <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i> and many other species typical of inland slash pine flatwoods.
