Name: Sideroxylon foetidissimum - Sideroxylon salicifolium - Ficus aurea - Quercus virginiana - Celtis laevigata Forest Reference: Hilsenbeck, C. E., R. H. Hofstet... Description: This hardwood hammock community occurs on Indian middens in southern Florida. These forests are closely related to other hardwood hammocks of the region but may be differentiated most easily by their occurrence on anthropogenic midden piles. Because these middens are topographically higher than the immediately surrounding landscape, they apparently lack a true hydroperiod and consequently develop larger trees than some other hammocks. Many of the nominal species may also be encountered in inland hammocks of the region. Perhaps the most distinctive vegetation feature of these stands is the persistence of species cultivated by the aboriginal inhabitants.  Accession Code: VB.CC.36541.CEGL007004 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
