Description:
This association is broadly defined to include shrublands occurring over a range of shallow soils (gravels, sands, heavy clay), in the uplands of the South Texas Plains and the coastal bend area of the Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes of Texas.

These shrublands often occur as mottes that are intermixed with other shrublands or woodlands dominated by <i>Acacia berlandieri, Celtis ehrenbergiana</i>, and <i>Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa</i> and with coastal grasslands characterized by <i>Bouteloua dactyloides, Bouteloua rigidiseta, Aristida purpurea, Bothriochloa barbinodis, Sporobolus compositus var. compositus, Bothriochloa longipaniculata, Bothriochloa laguroides, Trichloris pluriflora, Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, and <i>Nassella leucotricha</i>.
