Name: Hypericum lissophloeus Wet Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association represents ponds in Bay and Washington counties in the Panhandle of Florida dominated by <i>Hypericum lissophloeus</i>. This species is a narrow endemic found only in these counties, but where present it may form a shrubland (1-4 m tall) of varying density along the margins of certain depressions. These depressions have been called sinkholes or sandhill ponds. They are apparently of karstic origin but have extensive sandy soils covering the margins and, therefore, exhibit little direct evidence of calcareous conditions or of limestone. Examples may be seasonally flooded to depths of as much as 1.5 m deep, but they dry down regularly as well. These are fairly large, steep-sided depressions with as much as 30 m elevation change from rim (sandhill) to center. Other shrub species include <i>Chrysoma pauciflosculosa, Hypericum tenuifolium</i>, and <i>Lupinus westianus var. westianus</i>. Typical herbs include <i>Panicum virgatum, Andropogon glaucopsis, Andropogon capillipes, Panicum hemitomon, Centella erecta, Dichanthelium</i> spp., <i>Lachnocaulon minus, Ludwigia suffruticosa</i>, and <i>Eleocharis</i> spp. Other herbs may include <i>Chrysopsis lanuginosa, Drosera filiformis, Drosera brevifolia, Eriocaulon</i> spp., <i>Rhexia mariana var. mariana, Rhexia salicifolia, Syngonanthus flavidulus</i>, and <i>Xyris baldwiniana</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32728-{15164D5E-7012-4D2B-A69C-1396952FE86C} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
