Name: Fouquieria splendens / Bouteloua hirsuta Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This desert shrub-grassland association is known only from the Animas Mountains of southwestern New Mexico and reported from Trans-Pecos Texas. It may occur in adjacent Arizona and Mexico, but survey is needed to document it there. It occurs at about 1525 m (5000 feet) elevation on rolling hills with rocky, shallow soils. Stands are characterized by a moderate cover of grasses dominated by Bouteloua hirsuta in association with Eragrostis intermedia. Scattered, but conspicuous Fouquieria splendens along with Prosopis glandulosa typify the shrub layer.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24466.FOUQUIERIASPLEN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
