Name: Maytenus phyllanthoides - Prosopis reptans / Spartina patens Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This vegetation occurs on somewhat saline clayey to loamy soils on more-or-less level, 'upland' areas, a few feet above sea level, along the bases of lomas along Laguna Madre in southern Texas typically dominated by Citharexylum berlandieri - Yucca treculeana - Ebenopsis ebano - Phaulothamnus spinescens Shrubland (CEGL002170). Spartina patens is dominant, but herbaceous diversity can be fairly high in comparison to other Spartina-dominated communities in the same region. Woody plants other than subshrubs are scarce. Characteristic species include Prosopis reptans, Sophora tomentosa, Maytenus phyllanthoides, Andropogon glomeratus, Bothriochloa saccharoides, Spartina spartinae, Sporobolus virginicus, Ambrosia psilostachya, Iva texensis (= Iva angustifolia var. latior), and Palafoxia texana.
