Name: Sporobolus cryptandrus - Schizachyrium scoparium - Bouteloua curtipendula Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This association has been identified in the northern panhandle of Texas but is likely found elsewhere in the southern Great Plains. It occurs on gypsum outcrops within Permian redbeds. These sites can be nearly flat to sloping and are usually small (less than 1 ha). Sites with higher gypsum content have less vegetation cover. The herbaceous stratum is sparse to moderate, and composition varies according to aspect, slope, and gypsum content. Common species include the grasses <i>Sporobolus cryptandrus, Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, and <i>Bouteloua curtipendula</i>. Forbs are less abundant and include <i>Mentzelia strictissima, Haploesthes greggii, Phacelia integrifolia, Liatris punctata</i>, and <i>Oenothera macrocarpa</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.36634.CEGL005031 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
