Name: Sabal mexicana - Ebenopsis ebano - Ulmus crassifolia Tamaulipan Riparian Scrub Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: As currently circumscribed, this scrub forest group occurs in mesic environments including riparian areas and floodplains in the Tamaulipan region of southern Texas and northeastern Mexico. Stands are a unique mix of species from southeastern North America and subtropical Central America and may be dominated by <i>Celtis laevigata, Cordia boissieri, Diospyros texana, Ebenopsis ebano, Ehretia anacua, Fraxinus berlandieriana, Leucaena pulverulenta, Parkinsonia aculeata, Sabal mexicana, Sideroxylon celastrinum, Ulmus crassifolia</i>, and many other riparian plants. Other species may include <i>Salix nigra, Taxodium mucronatum, Prosopis glandulosa</i>, and <i>Celtis ehrenbergiana</i>. In the shrublands, the dense shrub canopy is a mix of species often including <i>Vachellia farnesiana, Celtis ehrenbergiana, Haematoxylum brasiletto, Prosopis glandulosa</i>, or <i>Tecoma stans</i>. The highly variable understory is dependent on canopy density and may include dense shrub or herbaceous layers dominated by neotropical species. Dominance of the herbaceous layer by invasive exotic grasses (e.g., <i>Pennisetum ciliare</i> and <i>Urochloa maxima</i>) is becoming more common.
