Name: Pinus contorta / Pedicularis racemosa Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This early-seral forest type has been described from southeastern Idaho and western Wyoming, where it grows on gentle to moderately steep terrain with a variety of aspects. It may also occur in Utah. <i>Pinus contorta var. latifolia</i> dominates the overstory or codominates with <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca</i> or <i>Picea engelmannii</i>; older stands contain <i>Abies lasiocarpa var. lasiocarpa</i> in the overstory. <i>Paxistima myrsinites</i> and <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i> usually are present in the undergrowth but contribute little cover. <i>Pedicularis racemosa</i> is common and often dominates the herbaceous undergrowth. <i>Arnica cordifolia</i> and <i>Eucephalus engelmannii</i> are often common as well.
