Description:
Forests, usually monospecific, dominated by ~Pinus clausa$. This alliance occurs on mainland areas near the coast in the Florida Panhandle. The closed canopy (10-20 m high) is composed of ~Pinus clausa$. The subcanopy includes ~Quercus geminata, Quercus laevis, Quercus virginiana, Quercus hemisphaerica$, and ~Magnolia grandiflora$. The open shrub layer includes ~Chrysoma pauciflosculosa, Clinopodium coccineum (= Calamintha coccinea), Licania michauxii, Quercus arkansana, Quercus margarettiae, Quercus myrtifolia, Osmanthus americanus var. americanus, Castanea pumila, Vaccinium arboreum, Vaccinium stamineum, Yucca filamentosa (= Yucca flaccida), Serenoa repens, Ilex opaca var. opaca$, and ~Ilex vomitoria$. Woody vines are also frequent, and include ~Smilax auriculata, Vitis rotundifolia$, and ~Bignonia capreolata$. The sparse herb layer includes ~Rhynchospora megalocarpa, Rhynchosia cytisoides, Croton argyranthemus, Silphium compositum, Euphorbia floridana, Eriogonum tomentosum, Smilax pumila, Dichanthelium commutatum, Pityopsis graminifolia$, and ~Polygonella macrophylla$.
