Description: This alliance, ranging from Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, includes natural and successional saturated wetlands dominated by ~Baccharis halimifolia$. It includes associations in both coastal and interior settings on saline/calcareous soils with a saturated hydrology. Interior settings include saline/calcareous natural areas, as well as weedy saline old fields. Coastal settings include shrublands dominated by ~Baccharis halimifolia$ that invade old fields and saline and non-saline prairies in the absence of fire. In these settings, ~Spartina spartinae, Andropogon virginicus, Andropogon glomeratus, Setaria parviflora (= Setaria geniculata)$, and ~Solidago sempervirens$ are often present in the herb stratum. A natural saline prairie association, found on outcrops of saline material from inland salt domes, has a shrub stratum dominated by ~Baccharis halimifolia$ with ~Crataegus berberifolia$ and ~Sideroxylon lanuginosum$. The herb stratum includes ~Eleocharis$ sp., ~Tridens strictus, Euthamia leptocephala, Ptilimnium$ sp., ~Tradescantia occidentalis, Nothoscordum bivalve, Eupatorium serotinum, Polygonum aviculare, Atriplex cristata (= Atriplex pentandra)$, and ~Heliotropium curassavicum$.
