Description: This association is described from one site located in the Pioneer Mountains of central Idaho and the Grand Teton Mountains of northwestern Wyoming. The association occurs in stabilized talus slopes and rocky benches in the high subalpine zone. The gently to steeply sloped sites occur at approximately 2745 to 3355 m (9000-11,000 feet) elevation. The association consists of a patchy, very low-growing, prostrate mat of herbaceous species and few graminoids. <i>Ivesia gordonii</i> is codominant with <i>Eriogonum caespitosum</i>. Associated species include <i>Achillea millefolium, Agoseris glauca, Eriogonum caespitosum, Festuca ovina, Frasera speciosa, Poa cusickii ssp. epilis (= Poa epilis), Trisetum spicatum</i>, and <i>Potentilla diversifolia</i>.
