Name: Pinus contorta / Osmorhiza berteroi Forest
Reference:
Description: This early-seral forest type has been described from southern Idaho and western Wyoming, where it grows on slopes with northerly to easterly aspects from 1980-2600 m (6500-8500 feet) elevation. <i>Pinus contorta var. latifolia</i> dominates the overstory or codominates with <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca</i> or <i>Populus tremuloides</i>; older stands contain <i>Abies lasiocarpa var. lasiocarpa</i> in the overstory. <i>Paxistima myrsinites</i> often dominates the undergrowth, and <i>Osmorhiza berteroi</i> or <i>Osmorhiza depauperata</i> (or both) are common and may codominate with <i>Paxistima myrsinites</i>. Other common species are <i>Eucephalus engelmannii, Silene menziesii, Thalictrum fendleri, Viola adunca</i>, and <i>Aquilegia caerulea</i>.
