Name: Quercus phellos - Quercus nigra / Sabal minor - Ditrysinia fruticosa Floodplain Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This oak-palmetto bottomland forest is found in limited areas in the West Gulf Coastal Plain. Possibly the most characteristic feature of the community is the dense, almost continuous understory cover of <i>Sabal minor</i>. The canopy is dominated by <i>Quercus phellos</i> and <i>Quercus nigra</i>, typically with an admixture of species such as <i>Quercus michauxii, Ulmus americana</i>, and <i>Pinus taeda</i>. The subcanopy is dominated by <i>Carpinus caroliniana ssp. caroliniana</i>. In addition to the dense layer of <i>Sabal minor</i>, the shrub stratum includes <i>Ditrysinia fruticosa, Ilex vomitoria, Arundinaria gigantea, Crataegus marshallii, Ilex decidua, Toxicodendron radicans, Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i>, small stems of <i>Quercus phellos</i>, and <i>Campsis radicans</i>. The herbaceous stratum tends to be sparse below the dense layer of <i>Sabal minor</i>, but may include <i>Chasmanthium laxum, Carex louisianica, Justicia ovata</i>, and <i>Sphagnum</i> spp.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36054-{6F860AE2-2F48-48F4-A7B4-F93B2A68A0E4} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
