Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Longleaf Pine - Slash Pine / Chapman Oak / Beyrich''s Three-awn Woodland
Colloquial Name: Peninsular Florida Scrubby Longleaf Pine Flatwoods
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This scrubby flatwoods association of the southern peninsula of Florida is typified by an open to very open canopy of Pinus palustris and/or Pinus elliottii var. elliottii. The moderately dense to very dense shrub layer consists of Quercus chapmanii, Quercus myrtifolia, Serenoa repens, Hypericum tenuifolium, and Ilex ambigua. Important herb species are Aristida beyrichiana, Chrysopsis subulata, Bulbostylis ciliatifolia, Chapmannia floridana, Agalinis filifolia, and Polygonella ciliata.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: Huffman and Judd (1998) documented this type at Myakka River State Park in both Manatee and Sarasota counties where it occurs in only a few small areas isolated from one another.

Floristics: The canopy of stands can contain predominantly Pinus palustris, Pinus elliottii var. elliottii, or a variable combination of both. The moderately dense to very dense shrub layer consists of Quercus chapmanii, Quercus myrtifolia, Serenoa repens, Hypericum tenuifolium (= Hypericum reductum), and Ilex ambigua (= Ilex buswellii). Important herb species are Aristida beyrichiana, Chrysopsis subulata, Bulbostylis ciliatifolia, Chapmannia floridana, Agalinis filifolia, and Polygonella ciliata. According to Huffman and Judd (1998), who documented this type at Myakka River State Park (in both Manatee and Sarasota counties, Florida), other shrubs and woody vines include Amorpha herbacea var. herbacea, Licania michauxii, Lyonia fruticosa, Palafoxia integrifolia, Pinus clausa, Quercus geminata, Quercus incana, Quercus laevis, Quercus minima, Sideroxylon reclinatum, Smilax glauca, Smilax pumila, Vaccinium arboreum, Ximenia americana, and Yucca flaccida, and other herbaceous species include Asclepias feayi, Aureolaria pectinata, Balduina angustifolia, Coelorachis cylindrica, Cyperus lupulinus (= Cyperus filiculmis), Dalea adenopoda, Helianthemum corymbosum, Lechea divaricata, Liatris tenuifolia, Lygodesmia aphylla, Opuntia humifusa (= var. humifusa), Phoebanthus grandiflorus, Rhynchosia michauxii, Rhynchospora megalocarpa, Rhynchospora plumosa, Seymeria pectinata, Sporobolus junceus, Tillandsia recurvata, and Tillandsia utriculata.
