Name: Ligusticum filicinum Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: These lush, forb-dominated subalpine meadows and parks occur in the mountains and plateaus of western Wyoming. Elevations range from 1990-3330 m. Sites vary from gentle to steep slopes, but are most often midslopes with eastern aspects. Stands have a dense (nearly 100% cover), tall herbaceous layer that is dominated by mixed perennial forbs. Ligusticum filicinum often dominates with lesser amounts of Delphinium X occidentale or Osmorhiza occidentalis. Associated perennial forbs include Geranium viscosissimum, Lupinus argenteus, Senecio crassulus, Symphyotrichum foliaceum (= Aster foliaceus), and Potentilla gracilis. Graminoids are relatively sparse and include Elymus trachycaulus, Bromus carinatus, and Melica spectabilis. These stands have high species richness with an average of 24 species per plot.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23587.LIGUSTICUMFILIC Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
