Name: Schizachyrium rhizomatum - Aristida purpurascens var. tenuispica - Eragrostis spectabilis Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community represents marl prairies of the south Florida Everglades region. It occurs on "table-rock" formations which are surfaces of oolite elevated above wet prairies [see ~<i>Muhlenbergia filipes - Rhynchospora microcarpa - Centella erecta</i> Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL003978)$$]. Apparently as a consequence of this higher topographic position, this type is rarely flooded. It occurs in small, widely scattered areas in a matrix dominated by pyrogenic wet prairie vegetation. <i>Schizachyrium rhizomatum, Aristida purpurascens var. tenuispica, Eragrostis spectabilis, Andropogon gyrans, Andropogon glomeratus var. pumilus, Panicum tenerum</i>, and <i>Paspalum setaceum</i> are the principal graminoids present, and are indicative of this community in combination. Woody species present include <i>Baccharis halimifolia, Chamaecrista deeringiana, Chiococca parvifolia, Senna ligustrina</i>, and <i>Vitis rotundifolia var. munsoniana</i>. Other herbaceous species present include <i>Anemia wrightii, Buchnera longifolia, Eupatorium leptophyllum, Funastrum clausum (= Sarcostemma clausum), Hyptis alata, Linum carteri, Polygala grandiflora, Solidago stricta</i>, and <i>Odontosoria clavata (= Sphenomeris clavata)</i>.
