Description: This calciphilic community occurs on calcareous coastal sands, shell hashes, Amerindian shell middens, and natural shell deposits, from mid-peninsular Florida (Cape Canaveral) north to South Carolina (southern Atlantic Coast), in maritime-influenced landscapes. The canopy consists of <i>Juniperus virginiana var. silicicola, Sabal palmetto, Celtis laevigata var. laevigata, Zanthoxylum clava-herculis, Quercus virginiana, Osmanthus americanus</i>, and other species. Shrubs are prominent and may include <i>Ilex vomitoria, Yucca aloifolia, Sageretia minutiflora, Forestiera segregata, Frangula caroliniana, Opuntia humifusa var. austrina</i>, and others. Composition is very variable from site to site, depending on environmental conditions and accidents of establishment and persistence.
