HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
Allegheny chinkapin is locally abundant as a low, clonal shrub on
longleaf pine (Pinus palustris)-scrub oak (Quercus spp.) sand ridges and
hills that are burned frequently, and in open stands of planted pine on
ridges and hills.  It is less frequent in sand pine (P. clausa)-oak
scrub [8].  Ozark chinkapin is often associated with chinkapin oak
(Quercus muehlenbergii) in white oak (Q. alba)-black oak (Q.
velutina)-northern red oak (Q. rubra) cover types [26].
