Description: This bluestem - grama grass dry prairie type is found on the loess bluffs along the east side of Missouri River in the central midwestern United States. The soil is somewhat rapidly drained and very shallow (0-40 cm). The vegetative structure is composed of a single layer of dominant grasses intermixed with forbs. Shrubs, especially Yucca glauca, are sometimes present.

Sporobolus cryptandrus, Dalea leporina, Dalea candida, Dalea enneandra, Astragalus lotiflorus, and Astragalus missouriensis can also be common.
