CEGL004729 Sedum nuttallianum - Sporobolus vaginiflorus (var. ozarkanus, var. vaginiflorus) - Sedum pulchellum Forbland
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Yellow Stonecrop - (Ozark Dropseed, Poverty Dropseed) - Widow''s-cross Forbland
Colloquial Name: Edwards Plateau Limestone Glade
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This community occurs on flat, massive exposures of Edwards Limestone, in the Edwards Plateau of central Texas. Very shallow pothole depressions accumulate shallow soils. This community is dominated by vernal annuals, including Sedum nuttallianum, Sedum pulchellum, and Sporobolus vaginiflorus var. ozarkanus (and/or likely Sporobolus vaginiflorus var. vaginiflorus). Nostoc commune is common. Vegetative cover generally exceeds 10%, at least during wet periods.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: Do we need another Sedum type for sparsely vegetated areas on limestone outcrops that are not associated with "pools"?
