Name: Sporobolus (neglectus, vaginiflorus) - Aristida longespica - Panicum flexile - Panicum capillare Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This annual herbaceous community is a zonal component of Nashville Basin (Tennessee) and Moulton Valley (Alabama) limestone cedar glades. Much of this vegetation is a mixture of annual grasses and perennial forbs, with enormous seasonal variation in dominance. Additional associations may be named. Relations with related vegetation in other ecoregions needs further investigation. Stands are dominated by <i>Sporobolus neglectus, Sporobolus vaginiflorus var. vaginiflorus</i>, and/or <i>Sporobolus vaginiflorus var. ozarkanus</i>. Some of the co-occurring forbs are the endemic or near-endemic <i>Dalea gattingeri</i> and <i>Pediomelum subacaule</i>, along with <i>Croton capitatus, Grindelia lanceolata, Stenaria nigricans var. nigricans, Heliotropium tenellum, Trichostema brachiatum, Manfreda virginica</i>, and <i>Ruellia humilis</i>. <i>Dalea gattingeri</i> is present in most examples of this vegetation type. <i>Grindelia lanceolata</i> has become abundant in some examples; this may merit recognition as an association, or it may be a symptom of disturbance.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33167-{CEFFC86E-5B35-4D6C-88D9-536DE25030D6} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
