Description: This minor shrubland association is described from deep sand sites within the pinyon-juniper woodlands of north-central New Mexico. Elevation is approximately 1850 m. Stands are found on well-drained hillslopes. The vegetation is characterized by an open shrub layer codominated by <i>Poliomintha incana</i> and <i>Artemisia filifolia</i>. <i>Artemisia filifolia</i> has higher cover especially in the lower slope positions that may hold soil water longer. Other woody plants include <i>Gutierrezia sarothrae, Ericameria nauseosa var. bigelovii, Opuntia phaeacantha</i>, and <i>Opuntia polyacantha</i> with occasional <i>Juniperus monosperma</i> or <i>Pinus edulis</i> trees.
