Description: This woodland is found adjacent to rivers in central Texas on high sandy terraces deposited during the Pleistocene. Sites along the Leon River in Coryell County, Texas, have flat to gentle slopes and sandy or sandy loam soils. The canopy is dominated by Quercus stellata (post oak). Canopy cover ranges from an open woodland to (more often) a dense forest. Other canopy components include Ulmus crassifolia (cedar elm), Celtis laevigata var. reticulata (netleaf hackberry), Juniperus virginiana (eastern redcedar), Quercus fusiformis (plateau oak), Quercus buckleyi (Buckley oak), and Carya illinoinensis (pecan). Other woody species include Callicarpa americana (American beautyberry), Sideroxylon lanuginosum (gum bully), Juniperus ashei (Ashe's juniper), Sophora affinis (Eve's necklacepod), Prosopis glandulosa (honey mesquite), Morus rubra (red mulberry), Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper), Viburnum rufidulum (rusty blackhaw), Ilex decidua (possumhaw), Forestiera pubescens (stretchberry), and Prunus mexicana (Mexican plum). Herbaceous species include Verbesina virginica (white crownbeard), Galium circaezans (licorice bedstraw), Tridens flavus (purpletop tridens), Solidago radula (western rough goldenrod), Vernonia baldwinii (Baldwin's ironweed), and Passiflora lutea (yellow passionflower). This association is found adjacent to Prosopis glandulosa / Bouteloua curtipendula - Nassella leucotricha Woodland (CEGL002133), as well as several riparian associations in the Carya illinoinensis - (Celtis laevigata) Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance (A.282) and Celtis laevigata - Ulmus crassifolia Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance (A.283).
