Name: Agastache urticifolia Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alliance occurs in subalpine meadows in the mountains of western Wyoming. Elevations range from 2040-2835 m. Sites vary from gentle to steep slopes with eastern to southwestern aspects, but are most often moderately steep mid to upper slopes. Communities in this alliance often have a patchy, moderately dense herbaceous layer that is dominated by perennial forbs. At least 10% cover each of Agastache urticifolia, Heliomeris multiflora, or Senecio serra is present in these stands. Other frequent forb associates include Eucephalus engelmannii (= Aster engelmannii), Geranium viscosissimum, Lupinus argenteus, and Delphinium X occidentale. The two most common graminoids are Elymus trachycaulus and Bromus carinatus. Scattered clumps of the deciduous shrub Symphoricarpos oreophilus are common, and occasional Populus tremuloides trees may also be present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20099.AGASTACHEURTICI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
