Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus laevis / Aristida beyrichiana - Tephrosia chrysophylla Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is restricted to ridgetops and upper slopes of the ridges physiographic provinces of north and central peninsular Florida and reaches the southern limits of its distribution on the southern Lake Wales Ridge near Sebring, Florida. These xeric sandhills occupy well- and excessively well-drained Entisols, which are notable for their lack of soil profile development. The sparse open canopy is dominated by <i>Pinus palustris</i> and typically lacks a well-developed subcanopy. However, the midstory shrub layer may be well-developed, even under frequent fire conditions, and is dominated by <i>Quercus laevis, Quercus incana</i>, and <i>Quercus geminata</i>. <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i> is the dominant species in the herbaceous layer, but <i>Sorghastrum secundum, Schizachyrium scoparium var. stoloniferum</i>, and <i>Sporobolus junceus</i> are also common and abundant. Other diagnostic herbaceous species include <i>Balduina angustifolia, Bulbostylis</i> spp., <i>Cnidoscolus urens var. stimulosus, Eragrostis refracta, Lechea sessiliflora, Pityopsis graminifolia, Tephrosia chrysophylla</i>, and <i>Stillingia sylvatica</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35436-{930113AB-59A1-4E80-8B22-B36D7D5A0632} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 13
