Name: Quercus stellata / Viburnum rufidulum - Forestiera ligustrina / Andropogon gerardii Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This woodland is restricted to the Inner Nashville Basin of Tennessee, where it occurs in association with Limestone Cedar Glades, in deeper soils than those of the annual grass zone. The prevalent tree is <i>Quercus stellata</i>. The open subcanopy may contain <i>Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana</i>. Shrubs include <i>Forestiera ligustrina, Hypericum frondosum, Rhus aromatica</i>, and <i>Viburnum rufidulum</i>. Fire suppression in these sites may lead to dense undergrowth of <i>Juniperus</i>. Graminoids present may include <i>Andropogon gerardii</i> and/or <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>. Some other herbaceous species include <i>Baptisia australis var. aberrans, Comandra umbellata, Eryngium yuccifolium, Hypoxis hirsuta, Lithospermum canescens, Parthenium integrifolium</i>, and <i>Viola pedata</i>. The state-listed <i>Echinacea simulata, Liatris cylindracea</i>, and <i>Polygala boykinii</i> are also found here.
