Description: This association represents tropical maritime hammocks of the southwestern coast of Florida. In comparison to related hammocks of the eastern Florida coast, this type is less species-rich and lacks some species characteristic of the eastern type (such as <i>Guapira discolor, Exothea paniculata, Nectandra coriacea, Amyris elemifera, Metopium toxiferum, Krugiodendron ferreum, Coccothrinax argentata</i>, and <i>Simarouba glauca</i>). However, this type includes some species not found in the east, such as <i>Piscidia piscipula, Acanthocereus tetragonus, Agave decipiens, Conocarpus erectus</i>, and <i>Hymenocallis latifolia</i>. Other characteristic species include <i>Acanthocereus tetragonus, Eugenia foetida, Eugenia axillaris, Forestiera segregata var. segregata, Chiococca alba, Randia aculeata</i>, and <i>Sideroxylon celastrinum</i>.
