This conspicuous low willow community is restricted in its distribution to humid and acid banks of upland tundra streams and creeks of the Arctic Foothills zone (roughly between 400 and 800 m). It occupies the immediate margins of smaller tundra streams originating in the gentle topography of the foothills, but does not occurin the Brooks Range. Character species include Salix planifolia ssp. pulchra, Valeriana capitata, Polemonium acutiflorum, Aconitum delphinifolium ssp. delphinifolium, Anemonerichardsonii, Saxifraga nelsoniana ssp. nelsoniana, Climacium dendroides, Luzula rufescens.
