HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
Virginia pine can occur in pure stands or as a member of mixed
pine-hardwood communities, particularly those with oak (Quercus spp.)
[60].  It is associated with pitch pine (P. rigida) and Table Mountain
pine (P. pungens) in the Appalachian Mountains.  On the eastern shores
of Virginia and Maryland it is associated with loblolly pine (Pinus
taeda) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). In the Peidmont region
it is associated with shortleaf pine (P. echinata) and oaks [15].
