Name: Fagus grandifolia - Quercus alba / Acer (barbatum, leucoderme) / Solidago auriculata Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This mesic, subcalcareous forest of the West Gulf Coastal Plain of eastern Texas and western Louisiana is typically dominated by an uneven-aged canopy of <i>Fagus grandifolia</i> and <i>Quercus alba</i>. It is further characterized by a rich, vernal understory flora and the presence of a number of species which indicate both mesic and calciphilic habitats in the West Gulf Coastal Plain, such as <i>Acer leucoderme, Acer barbatum, Cercis canadensis var. canadensis, Hamamelis virginiana, Solidago auriculata, Lithospermum tuberosum, Cynoglossum virginianum, Uvularia perfoliata, Dioscorea villosa</i>, and <i>Smilax pumila</i>. This type remains incompletely documented and understood due to relatively recent recognition of the existence of <i>Acer leucoderme</i> in eastern Texas. <i>Viburnum dentatum, Viburnum acerifolium, Aesculus pavia var. pavia, Ilex opaca var. opaca, Asimina triloba, Ostrya virginiana, Carpinus caroliniana ssp. caroliniana, Cornus florida</i>, and <i>Styrax grandifolius</i> are also indicative of this type.
