Name: Pleuraphis mutica - Panicum obtusum Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This Chihuahuan Desert lowland grassland association is known from southern New Mexico, Trans-Pecos Texas, and southeastern Arizona, and probably occurs in northern Mexico. It commonly occurs in closed basin bottoms, swales, playas or occasionally on lava flows at low elevations from 1300-1525 m (4250-5000 feet). <i>Pleuraphis mutica (= Hilaria mutica)</i> is dominant and abundant. The presence of <i>Panicum obtusum</i> is diagnostic of the playa-like setting of this association. Overall, diversity is moderate with 32 species recorded for type. Shrubs are not significant.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32844.CEGL001639 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
