Name: Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa - Parkinsonia texana var. macra - (Cordia boissieri, Koeberlinia spinosa) Shrubland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This community has a dense tall-shrub stratum 2-4 m, with scattered to open 'canopy' of emergent Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa and other small trees/tall shrubs. The tall-shrub stratum typically contains Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa, Parkinsonia texana var. macra (= Cercidium macrum), Cordia boissieri, Koeberlinia spinosa, Sideroxylon celastrinum (= Bumelia celastrina), Ebenopsis ebano (= Pithecellobium ebano), Leucophyllum frutescens, Acacia rigidula, Celtis pallida, Guajacum angustifolium, Citharexylum brachyanthum (= Citharexylum spathulatum), Karwinskia humboldtiana, Phaulothamnus spinescens, Schaefferia cuneifolia, Ziziphus obtusifolia (= Condalia obtusifolia), and others. Small openings contain abundant forbs during moist years, and grasses such as Aristida purpurea (sensu lato) and Bouteloua trifida also occur. This community is often invaded by the alien Pennisetum ciliare var. ciliare (= Cenchrus ciliaris). Typical dwarf-shrubs (primarily in openings between taller shrubs) are Krameria ramosissima and Tiquilia canescens. It occurs on McAllen fine sandy loams, on hill tops, slopes, and lowland situations (where the vegetation becomes denser and has a stronger component of Prosopis).  Accession Code: VB.CC.23982.PROSOPISGLANDUL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
