Name: Muhlenbergia capillaris Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community is an upland coastal prairie of the West Gulf Coastal Plain. It occurs in areas of at least 50 acres on rolling to flat upland sites. <i>Muhlenbergia capillaris</i> is the strong dominant; <i>Spartina spartinae</i> may also be prevalent. Other species include local endemics, such as <i>Hymenoxys texana, Rayjacksonia aurea, Chloris texensis</i>, and <i>Thurovia triflora</i>, which occur in small grass-free openings in the community. These grass-free openings are apparently highly saline, while the community as a whole is saline, but not as strongly so. <i>Baccharis halimifolia</i> may occur as scattered individuals to moderately dense patches as an invader of disturbed or overgrazed sites. More detailed information is needed.
