Description
A description of Quercus geminata is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Q. geminata occurs in the lower Coastal Plain from southeastern Virginia to south-central Florida, along the Gulf to southern Mississippi[1].
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, Q. geminata has occurred around karst ponds, sand pine scrubs, sand pine-oak scrubs, mixed pine-hardwood forests, live oak woodlands, beach ridges, sand dunes, high river banks, coastal hammocks, an oak hammock adjacent to a marsh, longleaf pine sand ridges, scrub oak dunes,a pine-palmetto hammock in a salt marsh, and open wiregrass-longleaf flatwoods. It has been found in disturbed areas such as planted slash pine stands, shallow disturbed ravines, open pastures, sandy roadsides, and deep sandy soil of a once cultivated field. Soil types include sandy loam, sand and loamy sand.
