Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Cockspur Hawthorn - Possum-haw - Green Hawthorn Shrubland
Colloquial Name: Haw-Haw-Haw Shrubland :-)
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association consists of upland shrublands dominated by Crataegus spp. (Crataegus viridis, Crataegus crus-galli) with Ilex decidua. Stands of this vegetation are primarily found on relatively calcareous soils. This association occurs on moist soils of mesic slopes. The distribution of this association is primarily localized in east-central and eastern Oklahoma. In addition, this association is tentatively assigned to Arkansas.
