It occurs from 610 to 3355 m (2000-11,000 feet) elevation. This shrubland is dominated by <i>Ericameria parryi (= Chrysothamnus parryi)</i>. <i>Purshia tridentata, Artemisia tridentata, Ephedra</i> spp., and/or <i>Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus</i> may be present. Scattered emergent <i>Juniperus</i> spp. or <i>Pinus</i> spp. may be present, or emergent shrubs may occur over a ground layer of grass.
