Name: Leucopoa kingii - Phlox pulvinata Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This plant association occurs on broad, gentle, low-alpine ridges of east-central Idaho and similar high-subalpine sites in northwestern Wyoming. The association occurs on gentle to moderately steep, convex ridgetops oriented to any aspect. Sites are often on windward exposures at 2990-3140 m (9800-10,300 feet) elevation. Moderately deep, moderately unstable, very gravelly soils are derived from limestone, siliceous volcanic rocks, and quartzite. <i>Leucopoa kingii (= Festuca kingii)</i> is the dominant species in this open, low-growing bunchgrass vegetation. Associated species include <i>Carex elynoides, Minuartia obtusiloba, Phlox pulvinata, Lupinus argenteus, Poa secunda</i>, and <i>Agoseris glauca</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.33155.CEGL001913 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
