Name: Quercus virginiana / Ilex vomitoria - Sabal minor / Carex cherokeensis - Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This forest occurs along small rivers and streams within the historic coastal prairie matrix, now mostly in agriculture or pasture, occupying the Pleistocene terraces of the Beaumont, Lissie and possibly Willis formations of the upper Texas coast. It also occurs within the large bottomland hardwood system that spans the lower reaches of the Colorado, San Bernard and Brazos rivers (Columbia Bottomlands), where they traverse this historic coastal prairie matrix. <i>Quercus virginiana</i> is the dominant canopy tree, and other, more minor canopy components can include <i>Ulmus crassifolia, Quercus shumardii, Carya illinoinensis, Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i>, and <i>Celtis laevigata var. laevigata</i>. In addition to overstory components, the midstory also includes <i>Sapindus saponaria</i>. The understory is usually open and dominated by <i>Ilex vomitoria</i> and <i>Sabal minor</i>. <i>Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii</i> and <i>Carex cherokeensis</i> are a conspicuous part of the locally dense herbaceous layer. It is closely related to the deciduous forest type ~<i>Ulmus crassifolia - Carya illinoinensis - Celtis laevigata / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum - Carex cherokeensis</i> Floodplain Forest (CEGL002388)$$, with which it is often associated. When the two occur together, this <i>Quercus virginiana</i>-dominated type occurs in slightly better drained, more elevated situations.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36017-{F7AE22CE-046A-4343-8060-B91601886F10} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
