Type Concept: This Mexican pinyon - oak community type occurs at relatively low-elevation valleys and flats in the Davis Mountains of Trans-Pecos Texas. It may occur in other mountain ranges in the vicinity. The open to very open canopy is dominated by Pinus cembroides, Quercus grisea, and Quercus emoryi. Mimosa dysocarpa forms patchy to extensive thickets. The herbaceous stratum is dense, with Bouteloua gracilis as the dominant grass.
