Name: Primula parryi Temporarily Flooded Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Plant associations within this alliance occur in the subalpine in the central and southern Rocky Mountains. Elevations range from 3300-3600 m. Types are found around springs, along streams, and below snowpatches. Stands occur on both east- and west-facing slopes. The general aspect of stands is quite similar in that they occupy very wet micro-basins. Soils are clayey with an average pH of 6.2. The composition of the substrate varies from a mineral to humus type. The forb layer is dominated by Primula parryi. Other associates in the forb stratum are Caltha leptosepala and Epilobium anagallidifolium. The graminoid layer typically is composed of Deschampsia caespitosa and Juncus drummondii. The moss layer is dominated by Philonotis fontana var. pumila (= Philonotis tomentella).  Accession Code: VB.CC.21207.PRIMULAPARRYITE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
