Name: Quercus virginiana / Vaccinium arboreum - Ilex vomitoria Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association represents one of two inland (not immediately adjacent to the coastline) hammocks or oak domes with a dominant or significant canopy component of <i>Quercus virginiana</i>. It occurs from Alabama to Florida and north to Georgia and South Carolina. This type is the more xeric of the two and is characterized by a relatively pure overstory of <i>Quercus virginiana</i>. Somewhat more mesic stands with more diverse canopy components, such as <i>Quercus hemisphaerica</i> and <i>Quercus nigra</i>, are accommodated by ~<i>Quercus virginiana - Quercus (hemisphaerica, nigra) / Serenoa repens</i> Forest (CEGL004408)$$. Stands are dominated by <i>Quercus virginiana</i>, sometimes with <i>Juniperus virginiana var. silicicola</i> present in the canopy. <i>Ilex vomitoria</i> and <i>Vaccinium arboreum</i> are present in the shrub layer. Frequently small <i>Cladonia</i>-dominated openings are present. Other characteristic species include <i>Scleria triglomerata, Paronychia baldwinii, Cladonia evansii, Stipulicida setacea</i>, and <i>Hypericum hypericoides</i>.
