Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Longleaf Pine - Pond Pine / Carolina Dropseed - Toothache Grass - Ten-angle Pipewort Woodland
Colloquial Name: Atlantic Coastal Plain Very Wet Clay Longleaf Pine Savanna
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This saturated longleaf pine - pond pine woodland association is only found on very wet clay soils of the Atlantic Coastal Plain of North Carolina and is one of the most naturally restricted of the longleaf pine communities in the area. The open canopy of this association is dominated by a variable combination of Pinus palustris and Pinus serotina. Some characteristic herbs include Sporobolus pinetorum, Ctenium aromaticum, and Eriocaulon decangulare var. decangulare. More information is to be added from North Carolina Vegetation Survey data.
