Name: Ceratiola ericoides - (Chrysoma pauciflosculosa) / Polygonella polygama / Cladonia leporina Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community is a coastal scrub community of the Panhandle of Florida and related areas, dominated by <i>Ceratiola ericoides</i>. It is a relatively late-successional vegetation type of coastal dunes which have not been disturbed by sand burial for approximately 50-100 years. More recently disturbed dunes tend to have more <i>Chrysoma pauciflosculosa</i>. Other characteristic species include <i>Conradina canescens, Quercus geminata, Quercus myrtifolia, Cladina evansii, Pinus elliottii var. elliottii, Smilax auriculata, Cladonia prostrata, Helianthemum arenicola</i> (Florida Panhandle only), <i>Lechea sessiliflora</i>, and <i>Paronychia erecta</i> (Florida Panhandle only). Some stands of this association may have a scattered canopy of <i>Pinus elliottii var. elliottii</i>. For now, it appears that <i>Ceratiola</i> shrublands of riverine sand dunes in the inner Coastal Plain of Georgia (and possibly South Carolina) can be accommodated in this association; further information is needed.
