Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: Bouteloua dactyloides is not a good nominal. It is probably not any more common than several other associated species, including Panicum obtusum, Digitaria californica, Bouteloua spp., Tridens spp., and Sporobolus spp. This association is poorly documented and should be considered for merging with ~Pleuraphis mutica - Panicum obtusum Grassland (CEGL001639)$$ (L. Elliott pers. comm. 2013).
