Description:
This type includes tropical maritime hammocks of the southeastern coast of Florida. The very diverse canopy can be dominated or codominated by the nominal species, along with other hardwoods with tropical affinities. These communities are distinguished from those on the southwestern coast by two frequently occurring trees, <i>Guapira discolor</i> and <i>Exothea paniculata</i>. In addition, they are substantially richer floristically than southwestern coast hammocks. Other species occurring in eastern coast hammocks but not western coast examples include <i>Nectandra coriacea, Amyris elemifera, Metopium toxiferum, Krugiodendron ferreum, Coccothrinax argentata</i>, and <i>Simarouba glauca</i>. The very diverse canopy can be dominated or codominated by many species not included in the name, including <i>Simarouba glauca, Coccoloba uvifera, Coccoloba diversifolia, Exothea paniculata, Sabal palmetto</i>, and others. Other characteristic species include <i>Guapira discolor, Nectandra coriacea, Amyris elemifera, Metopium toxiferum, Krugiodendron ferreum, Coccothrinax argentata, Simarouba glauca, Chiococca alba, Ardisia escallonoides, Randia aculeata, Psychotria nervosa, Zanthoxylum fagara, Persea borbonia</i> (in northern part of range), and <i>Serenoa repens</i>.
