Name: A.1666
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance occurs adjacent to streamsides, seeps, marshes, and springs in the subalpine and lower alpine areas in the Indian Peaks Wilderness, Colorado. Sites are located on stabilized, western slopes, ranging from 2250-3540 m. Soils are skeletal with a pH average of 6.0. ~Saxifraga odontoloma$ dominates the forb layer. Other constants include ~Epilobium anagallidifolium, Deschampsia caespitosa, Juncus drummondii$, and ~Primula parryi$. Several species can codominate in the moss layer, most often ~Philonotis fontana var. pumila (= Philonotis tomentella)$ and ~Warnstorfia exannulata (= Drepanocladus exannulatus)$.
