This submesic association occupies the eastern Florida Panhandle extending into northern peninsular Florida and adjacent Georgia. It occurs on several physiographic landforms, including the northern highlands and the coastal lowlands of the eastern panhandle. Included in this concept are ridgetop and upper slope communities of the Tallahassee Red Hills and Munson Hills regions. Soils are Entisols and Ultisols with relatively high pH and surface silt content. The open canopy of this association is dominated by <i>Pinus palustris</i>. Several deciduous oak species populate the midstory stratum, including <i>Quercus laevis, Quercus incana, Quercus margarettae</i>, and <i>Quercus hemisphaerica</i>. The more mesic status is indicated by the importance of <i>Asimina angustifolia</i> in the shrub layer along with <i>Rhus copallinum, Vaccinium arboreum</i>, and <i>Vaccinium stamineum</i>. The species-rich herbaceous layer is dominated by <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i>. Important diagnostic species include <i>Helianthemum carolinianum, Dyschoriste oblongifolia, Gymnopogon ambiguus, Elephantopus elatus, Pteridium aquilinum, Rhynchosia reniformis, Symphyotrichum concolor</i>, and <i>Vernonia angustifolia</i>. |

This association represents mixed forests of lower slopes, coves, etc. dominated by Tsuga canadensis and mesic hardwood species, occurring in the Cumberland Mountains and Cumberland Plateau of Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia, the Southern Ridge and Valley of Tennessee, the Northern Ridge and Valley and Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia and potentially southwestern Pennsylvania. It may range into extreme northwestern Georgia and northeastern Alabama, Deciduous associates, which may vary widely in relative frequency, include <i>Fagus grandifolia, Tilia americana var. heterophylla, Acer saccharum, Liriodendron tulipifera, Betula alleghaniensis, Betula lenta, Quercus rubra, Fraxinus americana, Carya ovata</i>, and <i>Magnolia acuminata</i>. The relative proportion of <i>Tsuga</i> and the various hardwood species may vary greatly; individual stands may be strongly dominated by <i>Tsuga</i>, or <i>Tsuga</i> may share dominance with one or more of the hardwoods. <i>Aesculus flava</i> and/or <i>Magnolia tripetala</i> may be present in the canopy or subcanopy, respectively, but these characteristic species may not be dominant in the particular stratum. Some important shrubs include <i>Rhododendron maximum</i> (which may dominate shrub layers of some stands), <i>Rhododendron catawbiense</i> (within its range), <i>Ribes cynosbati, Asimina triloba, Hydrangea arborescens, Viburnum acerifolium</i>, and the lianas <i>Aristolochia macrophylla</i> and <i>Smilax rotundifolia</i>. Ferns are diverse and abundant. Mesic herbaceous components include <i>Dryopteris marginalis, Dryopteris intermedia, Thelypteris noveboracensis, Polystichum acrostichoides, Asplenium rhizophyllum, Athyrium filix-femina, Arisaema triphyllum, Asarum canadense, Carex plantaginea, Chimaphila maculata, Goodyera pubescens, Hepatica nobilis var. acuta, Maianthemum racemosum, Mitchella repens, Phacelia bipinnatifida, Sanguinaria canadensis, Tiarella cordifolia</i>, and <i>Trillium</i> spp. |
