Name: Laplacea haematoxylon - Clethra occidentalis - Calophyllum antillanum Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Successional association established following disturbance of the former <i>Laplacea - Solanum - Turpinia</i> Forest, mostly by selective cutting of larger trees for timber. Small trees and tall weedy shrubs (e.g., <i>Piper</i> spp. and <i>Goldfusia colorata</i>) replace the original structure of the forest; the original association's species composition and coverage change by prevalence, under-representation, or absence of many of its associates. <i>Clethra occidentalis, Matayba apetala, Alchornea latifolia</i>, and small individuals of <i>Calophyllum antillanum (= Calophyllum calaba)</i> are usually abundant. Other species may include <i>Laplacea haematoxylon, Guarea swartzii, Sapium laurifolium (= Sapium jamaicense), Solanum punctulatum, Hedyosmum arborescens, Turpinia occidentalis</i>, and others. DISTRIBUTION: Jamaica: The Blue Mountains range.
