Description: This alliance consists of grasslands of limestone slopes and associated seeps of the Edwards Plateau and central Oklahoma, and small patch occurrences (mostly less than 1 acre in size) in the Fort Worth Prairie and Western Crosstimbers regions of Texas and to a lesser extent the Whiterock Cuesta of the Blackland Prairie region of Texas. This type is characterized by ~Muhlenbergia reverchonii$, vernally moist to wet from seepage flow; examples often co-occur with clumps of ~Juniperus virginiana$ and ~Juniperus ashei$. Other typical species include ~Hedyotis nigricans$ and ~Dodecatheon meadia$. In Texas, this alliance occurs in a matrix of ~Juniperus ashei$ woodlands. Dominant species include ~Muhlenbergia reverchonii$ and ~Bouteloua hirsuta var. pectinata (= Bouteloua pectinata)$. Other species present include ~Schizachyrium scoparium$ and ~Dodecatheon meadia$.
