Description: This desert grassland association occurs on dry, rocky or sandy slopes and plains. A single plot at Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge was reported on the valley floor at 960 m (3160 feet) elevation. Sites are gently sloping. Substrate is well-drained clay. Cover of bare ground is relatively high in sampled stand (60%). The open to moderately dense herbaceous layer is dominated by perennial midgrass <i>Bothriochloa barbinodis</i> with <i>Sporobolus cryptandrus</i> prominent. Scattered shrubs <i>Prosopis velutina</i> and <i>Lycium</i> spp. may be present in low cover. Other species present in low cover include <i>Urochloa arizonica (= Brachiaria arizonica), Chloris virgata, Digitaria californica, Echinopepon wrightii, Eriochloa acuminata, Eriochloa lemmonii</i>, and <i>Panicum hirticaule var. stramineum (= Panicum stramineum)</i>.
