Name: Artemisia cana ssp. cana / Calamovilfa longifolia Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This upland vegetation type has been described from the Cheyenne River Basin in northeastern Wyoming and has been reported from the Powder River Basin in north-central Wyoming and from the Ferris Mountains and Seminoe Mountains areas in central Wyoming. In all of these areas, it occupies stabilized sand dunes. Artemisia cana ssp. cana forms an open shrub layer to about 50 cm tall, which often contains Artemisia tridentata and Ericameria spp. (= Chrysothamnus spp.) as well. Common herbaceous species are Calamovilfa longifolia, Hesperostipa comata, Cryptantha spp., and Eriogonum spp., and other plants (especially Bouteloua gracilis, Pascopyrum smithii, and Andropogon hallii) may be conspicuous and contribute substantial cover. Bromus tectorum and other exotics may be common.
