Name: Camassia cusickii Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This unique association is found in Oregon and Idaho. It occurs in seepage areas below basalt rims, between 3000-6000 feet, on fairly steep slopes (averaging 40%) in a matrix of native perennial bunch grasses. Stands occur on southerly aspects, with shallow, clay soils. These soils are highly oxidized from basalt parent materials. Camassia cusickii, a Hells Canyon endemic plant, dominates this association, with cover values ranging from 40-80%, clearly dominating these sites. Rock and gravel have the second largest cover. Forbs such as Artemisia ludoviciana, Perideridia bolanderi, Allium acuminatum, and Potentilla gracilis, as well as the bunch grasses Pseudoroegneria spicata and Poa secunda from the adjacent grasslands, can be found in these seeps.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19232.CAMASSIACUSICKI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
