Name: A.1088
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Moist depressions (such as interdune swales and upland depressions in xeric sandhills) dominated by ~Hypericum reductum$. In southeastern North Carolina, examples of this alliance are found in upland depressions of extremely xeric sandhills. In these examples, ~Hypericum reductum$ dominates the shrub layer, while other scattered shrubs such as ~Lyonia mariana$ and ~Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa)$ may be present. ~Aristida stricta$ and ~Andropogon$ spp. are the dominant herbs. In this landscape, ~Aristida stricta$ is restricted to this community, apparently because of the extremely xeric conditions of the surrounding sandhills. Examples are also known from interdune swales in the Panhandle of Florida, and from limesink or karst ponds in southern Alabama.
