Name: A.1686
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance is a zonal component of Central Basin Cedar Glades. It occupies small areas along ephemeral streams, where the vegetation is rooted in thin soil over limestone. Stands contain ~Mecardonia acuminata, Dalea foliosa, Mitreola petiolata, Rudbeckia triloba$, and ~Ludwigia microcarpa$, along with various graminoids and nonvascular plants. Sites are seasonally saturated, becoming drier during the heat of summer, when moisture primarily comes from rainstorm events. ~Dalea foliosa$ is included in the name to indicate its range and rarity, but is not necessarily in all examples of the community; the alliance name may be revised. Related vegetation may be present in the Moulton Valley of Alabama.
