Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Slash Pine - (Pond Pine) / Beyrich''s Three-awn - Feather-bristle Beaksedge - Pitcherplant species Woodland
Colloquial Name: East Gulf Coastal Plain Wet Pine Flatwoods
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: These are slash pine flatwoods of the lower East Gulf Coastal Plain, with open canopy of Pinus elliottii var. elliottii, and sometimes Pinus serotina. The shrub stratum is open and consists of Ilex glabra, Cliftonia monophylla, Smilax laurifolia, Gaylussacia mosieri, Nyssa biflora, and Ilex myrtifolia. The diverse and dense herb stratum is dominated by Aristida beyrichiana and Rhynchospora oligantha, and includes Sarracenia spp. (any of Sarracenia flava, Sarracenia minor, and/or Sarracenia psittacina), Aletris lutea, Pogonia ophioglossoides, Eriocaulon decangulare, Ctenium aromaticum, Eurybia chapmanii, Aristida palustris, Rhynchospora latifolia, Lophiola aurea, Rhexia alifanus, Polygala lutea, Chaptalia tomentosa, and Sabatia macrophylla.
