Name: Carex filifolia - Cistanthe spp. Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This herbaceous association is currently only known from Yosemite National Park in California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. Stands of this association are known from seasonally flooded basin floor meadows at about 2590 m (8500 feet) of elevation. Soils are well-drained sands and sandy loams. This meadow grassland is heavily dominated by <i>Carex filifolia</i>, which forms a patchy canopy with other graminoids and forbs less than 0.5 m in height. Associates are quite variable, but the forbs <i>Antennaria rosea</i> and at least one member of the genus <i>Cistanthe (monosperma, umbellata)</i> are usually present. Common graminoid associates providing trace cover may include <i>Poa secunda, Achnatherum lemmonii, Agrostis variabilis</i>, and/or <i>Juncus parryi</i>. Most forb species are present only in traces, though <i>Lupinus breweri</i> may be locally common. Other forbs present in trace amounts may include <i>Oreostemma alpigenum var. alpigenum, Rumex paucifolius, Achillea millefolium, Gayophytum diffusum, Montia chamissoi, Penstemon rydbergii, Potentilla drummondii</i>, and/or <i>Streptanthus tortuosus</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.34500.CEGL008660 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
