Name: Quercus myrtifolia - Quercus geminata - Lyonia lucida - Lyonia ferruginea Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This ponded scrub association occurs on highly acidic sands with a seasonally high water table on the Ocala National Forest. The vegetation is broadly similar to other Florida scrub associations, but includes a number of different species because of the seasonally high water table. <i>Pinus clausa</i> may form a scattered to open tree layer, or be present only as shrubby regeneration, depending on fire history. Dominant shrub species include <i>Quercus myrtifolia, Quercus geminata, Ceratiola ericoides, Lyonia lucida, Lyonia ferruginea, Serenoa repens, Polygonella polygama, Vaccinium stamineum, Persea humilis, Lyonia fruticosa, Bejaria racemosa, Quercus chapmanii</i>, and <i>Palafoxia feayi</i>. Herbs are scattered and include <i>Aristida gyrans, Aristida purpurascens, Aristida spiciformis, Balduina angustifolia, Bulbostylis ciliatifolia, Callisia graminea, Eragrostis refracta, Galactia elliottii, Lachnocaulon beyrichianum, Lechea minor, Liatris tenuifolia var. quadriflora, Paronychia rugelii, Rhynchospora megalocarpa, Scleria</i> sp., <i>Selaginella arenicola, Sporobolus curtissii</i>, and <i>Triplasis americana</i>.
