Name: Leymus triticoides - Poa secunda Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This is an alkaline grassland described from the Warner Basin of Oregon, but seen in the Guano and Catlow valleys of south-central Oregon, from Inyo County, California, and almost certainly found elsewhere in the northern Basin and Range and likely occurs in Nevada. It is found in flat, alkaline wetlands, associated with playa lakes, or rarely seasonal streams. In Oregon, elevations range from 1220-1525 m (4000-5000 feet) in elevation. Leymus triticoides is the characteristic plant, with Poa secunda (= Poa juncifolia and sometimes still considered as Poa secunda ssp. juncifolia) usually codominant. In the more alkaline areas, Distichlis spicata or Puccinellia spp. can be found, although the most alkaline expressions should be considered a different association. These moist, playa grasslands are distinctive in the very high, predominately rhizomatous grass cover, with frequencies of Leymus triticoides averaging over 85%.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21164.LEYMUSTRITICOID Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
