The Gulf furnishes a strand flora quite distinct from that 
of the rest of the state. This is chiefly because of strand con- 
ditions, but also partly because of an accession of a number of 
tropical or subtropical species. In discussing the beach flora 
the species mentioned will include characteristic forms found 
on the islands off the coast. 
Some of the common species found upon and immediately 
above the sandy beaches are given here. 
Among trees the commonest are the live oak (Quercus ger- 
tinata), pine (Pinus australis, Pinus taeda, Pinus heterophylla), 
myrica cerifera, and just above tide groves of Daubentonia 
longifolia. :
