Name: Senecio triangularis Semipermanently Flooded Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This lush herbaceous alliance has been described from semipermanently flooded areas in the mountains of western Wyoming. Elevations are 1700-1800 m. Stands occur on moderate to steep, mid and lower slopes and toeslopes near seeps. Soils are saturated, but not stagnant, and composed of a sandy-textured mineral horizon with a thin organic layer. Stands have a medium-tall (0.5 m), moderately dense to dense herbaceous layer that is codominated by the perennial forbs Senecio triangularis and Mimulus guttatus. Associated species include mesic and wetland forbs such as Epilobium spp., Mimulus lewisii, Mitella pentandra, Parnassia fimbriata, Saxifraga odontoloma, and the graminoid Agrostis exarata. Mosses form a nearly continuous ground cover between the forbs. Shrubs and trees are not present.
