Name: Pinus palustris / Serenoa repens - Ilex glabra Woodland
Reference: Carr, S. C., K. M. Robertson, an...
Description: This broadly defined community is a moderately to poorly drained longleaf flatwoods community, widespread in Florida, and extending north through Georgia to southeastern South Carolina, and probably west to southern Alabama and southern Mississippi. <i>Pinus palustris</i> dominates the open to fairly dense canopy. The shrub layer is characteristically dense, with <i>Serenoa repens</i> and Ilex glabra usually dominating; other shrubs include <i>Lyonia fruticosa, Lyonia lucida, Vaccinium myrsinites, Gaylussacia mosieri</i>, and <i>Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera)</i>. The herb layer is poorly developed in this association, but patches of herbaceous cover may occur and are often dominated by <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i>. This community generally occurs on Spodosols; a spodic horizon is associated with seasonally saturated conditions.
