Field Trip: Warren Ranch Saline Barrens

This field trip with the Native Plant Society of Texas and Andy Newman will be focused on seeing rare species endemic to saline barrens that occur on the Texas coastal prairie. Jason Singhurst (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologist) described these habitats as the pyramid dropseed (Sporobolus pyramidatus), bristle-seed sand-spurrey (Spergularia echinosperma), narrowleaf marsh elder (Iva angustifolia), and Texas prairie dawn (Hymenoxys texana) herbaceous vegetation community of the Houston Saline Prairie. There are several other unique species that we may find including Texas windmill grass (Chloris texensis) and Texas Willkommia (Willkommia texana).
