Nalle Bunny Run Virtual Tour with Bill Carr 2021-03-20

On March 20, we were privileged to have botanist Bill Carr visit Hill Country Conservancy's Nalle Bunny Run with us. He helped us create a new virtual tour with a focus on plants.

The most exciting observation of the morning was a northeastern plant called Green Dragon on the edge of its range, in a hidden canyon on the western edge of the preserve:

Green Dragon (Arisaema dracontium) - 1 - 5

Green Dragon (Arisaema dracontium) - 1 - 3

See the attached iNaturalist observation below.

I'll update this entry when the video is posted by Hill Country Conservancy.

Here's our eBird checklist.

And here's Bill Carr's plant list for the preserve, from just two visits.

This is an important ground cover in dark, dense oak-juniper woods with shallow, rocky soil. It's one of the only things that can help stop erosion in these areas. It is grass-like, but it is a sedge.

The best plant of the day was found by Bill Carr in a little canyon in the soutwest corner of the preserve. Green Dragon is a remnant species from when central Texas was a wetter place. It is an eastern species that is rare in Travis County. It likes sheltered limestone canyons that hold more moisture.

In the Nalle family cemetary we found several plants with tiny flowers, which can live in mowed areas. This one is Carolina Ponysfoot (Dichondra carolinensis).
