Name: Muhlenbergia capillaris Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This community is an upland coastal prairie of the West Gulf Coastal Plain. It occurs in areas of at least 50 acres on rolling to flat upland sites. Muhlenbergia capillaris is the strong dominant; Spartina spartinae may also be prevalent. Other species include local endemics, such as Hymenoxys texana, Rayjacksonia aurea (= Machaeranthera aurea), Chloris texensis, and Thurovia triflora, which occur in small grass-free openings in the community. These grass-free openings are apparently highly saline, while the community as a whole is saline, but not as strongly so. Baccharis halimifolia may occur as scattered individuals to moderately dense patches as an invader of disturbed or overgrazed sites. More detailed information is needed.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19744.MUHLENBERGIACAP Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
