Name: (Pinus palustris) - Quercus stellata - Quercus incana / Tetragonotheca ludoviciana Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This woodland occurs on narrow, topographically isolated, convex ridgetops and interstream divides in the West Gulf Coastal Plain within a landscape heavily dominated by <i>Pinus palustris</i>. The canopy is strongly dominated by <i>Quercus stellata</i> with lesser amounts of <i>Pinus palustris, Quercus incana</i> and <i>Quercus marilandica</i> present. <i>Pinus palustris</i> stems although not usually dominant, may be much taller than the hardwoods. The sparse to patchy understory includes some species indicative of xeric moisture status in the region, such as <i>Stylisma pickeringii, Tradescantia reverchonii, Tragia urticifolia, Croton argyranthemus, Froelichia floridana</i>, and <i>Cnidoscolus texanus</i>.
