Name: Schizachyrium scoparium - Panicum anceps - Panicum virgatum - Lespedeza capitata - Scleria spp. Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This is a mesic phase of prairies of the Eastern Highland Rim of south-central Tennessee. May Prairie, Coffee County, Tennessee, is the only remaining high-quality example of this vegetation type, which was apparently once represented at other sites (though never extensive). This community is distinguished from most other prairie communities by its strong representation of a southern, Coastal Plain component in its flora, including various Rhynchospora spp., Dichanthelium spp., and others. It is distinguished from the associated community at May Prairie, Andropogon gerardii - Schizachyrium scoparium - Dichanthelium scoparium - Rhynchospora glomerata Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL004006), by being less wet and supporting species typical of drier conditions, such as legumes (Baptisia australis var. aberrans (= Baptisia minor var. aberrans), Lespedeza capitata, Lespedeza violacea (= Lespedeza intermedia), and Orbexilum pedunculatum var. pedunculatum).  Accession Code: VB.CC.21976.SCHIZACHYRIUMSC Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
