TEMPERATE HARDWOOD FORESTS
"Hammocks"

Vegetation:  In typically narrow bands; varies from warm temperate, mixed deciduous-evergreen flora (e.g., oaks, hickories, beech, magnolia) in north to subtropical evergreen flora in south; many species of trees but few species of herbs, except for diverse ferns in peninsular hammocks; hammocks on the Apalachicola Bluffs contain 'Torreya taxifolia', a tree on the verge of extinction, as well as other endemic plant species.
