Name: Croton linearis - Morinda umbellata / Sporobolus spp. - Panicum spp. Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Grass prairies on Big Pine Key, maintained by fire, with scattered shrubs of <i>Croton linearis, Morinda umbellata (= Morinda royoc), Senna mexicana var. chapmanii, Ximenia americana</i>, and other species recruited from nearby rockland hammocks. This is apparently a natural type, nearly lost by fire suppression, now partially restored by prescribed burning on the Key Deer National Wildlife Refuge. This community is important habitat for Key Deer (<i>Odocoileus virginianus clavium</i>).
