Name: Muhlenbergia filipes Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes moist interdune flats dominated or codominated by Muhlenbergia filipes, from around Nags Head, Dare County, North Carolina, south and west at least to the western coast of peninsular Florida; limits westward not known (the species goes to Texas). These communities are saturated at times, but the coarse sandy substrate drains quickly and are thus placed in upland. A widespread association is codominated by Muhlenbergia filipes, Spartina patens, and Eustachys petraea. Examples on Cayo Costa and North Captiva islands, Lee County, Florida, are dominated by Bouteloua hirsuta, with Muhlenbergia filipes, Uniola paniculata, and more typical southeastern Coastal Plain coastal species. Other characteristic species may include Ernodea littoralis, Chiococca parvifolia (= Chiococca pinetorum), Lantana depressa var. sanibelensis, Trichostema [sp. nov. ined.], Ambrosia hispida, Coccoloba uvifera, Smilax auriculata, Phyllanthus abnormis, and Panicum amarum var. amarulum.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21549.MUHLENBERGIAFIL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
