Name: Camassia cusickii Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This unique association is found in Oregon and Idaho. It occurs in seepage areas below basalt rims, between 915 and 1830 m (3000-6000 feet), on fairly steep slopes (averaging 40%) in a matrix of native perennial bunchgrasses. Stands occur on southerly aspects, with shallow, clay soils. These soils are highly oxidized from basalt parent materials. <i>Camassia cusickii</i>, a Hells Canyon endemic plant, dominates this association, with cover values ranging from 40-80%, clearly dominating these sites. Rock and gravel have the second largest cover. Forbs such as <i>Artemisia ludoviciana, Perideridia bolanderi, Allium acuminatum</i>, and <i>Potentilla gracilis</i>, as well as the bunchgrasses <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> and <i>Poa secunda</i> from the adjacent grasslands, can be found in these seeps.  Accession Code: VB.CC.34047.CEGL003440 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
