Name: Quercus geminata - Quercus myrtifolia - Serenoa repens - Persea borbonia Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This "coastal scrub" community occurs in northeastern Florida, from Duval County south to Cape Canaveral in northern Brevard County. This community occurs in a narrow strip near the coast on acidic sands. <i>Quercus geminata, Quercus myrtifolia, Serenoa repens</i>, and <i>Persea borbonia</i> dominate. Other characteristic species include <i>Morella cerifera, Quercus chapmanii, Osmanthus americanus, Lyonia ferruginea, Erythrina herbacea, Juniperus virginiana var. silicicola</i>, and <i>Ilex vomitoria</i>. Stands in northern Volusia County and on Cape Canaveral have dwarfed <i>Quercus virginiana</i> present along with the usual scrub oaks. Salt spray blown off the Atlantic Ocean by the prevailing easterly winds probably prevents the formation of a <i>Pinus clausa</i> canopy characteristic of more inland scrubs.
