Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus marilandica / Schizachyrium scoparium - Silphium laciniatum - Ruellia humilis Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This small-patch <i>Pinus palustris</i> community is associated with outcroppings of calcareous and/or high calcium clay soils in the Inner Coastal Plain on Tertiary terraces of the West Gulf Coastal Plain of Louisiana and Texas. Edaphic limitations produce a widely spaced, even stunted woodland canopy that contrasts strikingly with surrounding open <i>Pinus palustris</i> woodlands on deeper soils. A continuous herbaceous cover is present. The most abundant ground flora species in Texas are <i>Coelorachis rugosa, Eryngium yuccifolium, Andropogon gyrans</i>, and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>. <i>Silphium laciniatum</i> is a good indicator species of this community.
