Taxonomic Notes
Synonyms: P. elliottii var. elliottii; P. heterophylla
Varieties: none
Description
P. elliottii is a perennial tree of the Pinaceae family native to North America. [2]Seedlings have tall, thin trunks with open groups of needles.[3]
Distribution
P. elliottii is found along the southeastern coast of the United States from Texas to North Carolina. [2]
Ecology
Habitat
P. elliottii proliferates in wet pine flatwoods and maritime forests. [1] Specimens have been collected from sandy soils with virgin slash pine flatwoods, hollows between stable sand dunes, on bay shore of island, mixed hardwood swamp, pine plantation, open grassy field, in dry loamy sand of sandhill flat, longleaf pine community, and pine-oak-sweet gum woods. [4]
P. elliottii responds negatively to heavy silvilculture in North Florida. [5] It also responds positively to soil disturbance by clearcutting and roller chopping in North Florida.[6]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by wind. [7]
Habitat
Adapted to mesic sites.[8]
Fire ecology
P. elliottii is fire resistant, but has a low fire tolerance. [2] P. elliottii var. densa has thick bark as an adult and a 'grass' stage as a juvenile that offer resistance to fire damage. [9]
