Name: Schizachyrium scoparium - Panicum anceps - Panicum virgatum - Lespedeza capitata - Scleria spp. Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This is a mesic phase of prairies of the Eastern Highland Rim of south-central Tennessee. May Prairie, Coffee County, Tennessee, is the only remaining high-quality example of this vegetation type, which was apparently once represented at other sites (though never extensive). This community is distinguished from most other prairie communities by its strong representation of a southern, Coastal Plain component in its flora, including various <i>Rhynchospora</i> spp., <i>Dichanthelium</i> spp., and others. It is distinguished from the associated community at May Prairie, ~<i>Andropogon gerardii - Schizachyrium scoparium - Dichanthelium scoparium - Rhynchospora glomerata</i> Grassland (CEGL004006)$$, by being less wet and supporting species typical of drier conditions, such as legumes (<i>Baptisia australis var. aberrans, Lespedeza capitata, Lespedeza violacea</i>, and <i>Orbexilum pedunculatum var. pedunculatum</i>).  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32909-{9997B950-554E-49EE-AD16-2C40C01DC55D} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
