Description: This riparian plant association is known from data collected in the Snake and Salmon river corridors, within the Blue Mountains ecoregional section. The association occurs on unstable stream channels within an elevational band of 275-850 m (900-2800 feet), in the deeply incised terrain of the Snake River Canyon. Stands of this forest plant association are dominated by broad-leaved, deciduous tree species. <i>Alnus rhombifolia</i> is dominant, and occurs with high cover. The understory broad-leaved deciduous shrub layer is dominated by <i>Philadelphus lewisii</i>. Other deciduous shrub species commonly present, include <i>Crataegus douglasii, Prunus virginiana, Ribes oxyacanthoides ssp. irriguum (= Ribes irriguum)</i>, and <i>Salix exigua</i>. Occasional colonies of the introduced shrub <i>Rubus discolor</i> are present. The herbaceous component of this association is composed of species indicative of disturbance. No other information is available on species composition.
