Name: Mimulus primuloides Temporarily Flooded Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alliance is found in the Lake Tahoe area of California and Nevada in wet meadows and other moist, mostly open places at moderate to high elevation (2600 to 2700 m). These meadows are found on gentle slopes in areas where the snow may persist late into the season or melt early. Standing water may be present but is uncommon. Generally, the water table lies between 25 and 88 cm below the surface. Plant communities within this alliance are dominated by Mimulus primuloides. Typically, Carex scopulorum codominates the canopy. Deschampsia caespitosa, Oreostemma alpigenum var. andersonii (= Aster alpigenus ssp. andersonii), and Salix eastwoodiae are associated species in the Lake Tahoe stands. Species richness is low to moderate with an average of 18 species per stand. Total cover is high, 90-100%, and generally with 0-2% bare ground.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26399.MIMULUSPRIMULOI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
