Type Concept: This community is described from Padre Island, Texas. It represents grasslands dominated or codominated by Paspalum monostachyum that occupy slightly lower parts of barrier flats. Other herbaceous species that may be present in high cover and occasionally codominating include Schizachyrium littorale, Andropogon glomeratus, and Iva texensis. Associated species include wetland herbs such as Hydrocotyle bonariensis, Conoclinium betonicifolium, and Spartina patens. It grades into and may be hard to distinguish from ~Schizachyrium littorale - Paspalum monostachyum Grassland (CEGL002207)$$ which occupies slightly higher and drier positions on the barrier flat.
