Name: Muhlenbergia reverchonii Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance consists of grasslands of limestone slopes and associated seeps of the Edwards Plateau and central Oklahoma, and small patch occurrences (mostly less than 1 acre in size) in the Fort Worth Prairie and Western Crosstimbers regions of Texas and to a lesser extent the Whiterock Cuesta of the Blackland Prairie region of Texas. This type is characterized by Muhlenbergia reverchonii, vernally moist to wet from seepage flow; examples often co-occur with clumps of Juniperus virginiana and Juniperus ashei. Other typical species include Hedyotis nigricans and Dodecatheon meadia. In Texas, this alliance occurs in a matrix of Juniperus ashei woodlands. Dominant species include Muhlenbergia reverchonii and Bouteloua hirsuta var. pectinata (= Bouteloua pectinata). Other species present include Schizachyrium scoparium and Dodecatheon meadia.
