Name: Maytenus phyllanthoides - Prosopis reptans / Spartina patens Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This vegetation occurs on somewhat saline clayey to loamy soils on more-or-less level, 'upland' areas, a few feet above sea level, along the bases of lomas along Laguna Madre in southern Texas typically dominated by ~<i>Citharexylum berlandieri - Yucca treculeana - Ebenopsis ebano - Phaulothamnus spinescens</i> Shrubland (CEGL002170)$$. <i>Spartina patens</i> is dominant, but herbaceous diversity can be fairly high in comparison to other <i>Spartina</i>-dominated communities in the same region. Woody plants other than subshrubs are scarce. Characteristic species include <i>Prosopis reptans, Sophora tomentosa, Maytenus phyllanthoides, Andropogon glomeratus, Bothriochloa saccharoides, Spartina spartinae, Sporobolus virginicus, Ambrosia psilostachya, Iva texensis (= Iva angustifolia var. latior)</i>, and <i>Palafoxia texana</i>.
