Description: This riparian plant association is reported from data collected in the Snake and Salmon river corridors, within the Blue Mountains ecoregional section. The association occurs on stable stream channels within an elevational band of 595 to 715 m (1950-2350 feet), in the deeply incised terrain of the Salmon River Canyon. Stands of the forest plant association are dominated by broad-leaved, deciduous tree species. <i>Alnus rhombifolia</i> is codominant with <i>Prunus virginiana</i>. Dispersed individuals of <i>Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa</i> are also present. <i>Philadelphus lewisii, Sambucus nigra ssp. cerulea, Crataegus douglasii, Acer glabrum, Ribes oxyacanthoides ssp. irriguum, Lonicera utahensis</i> and <i>Holodiscus discolor</i> are often associates of the broad-leaved deciduous shrub understory. Characteristic forbs include <i>Galium aparine, Claytonia perfoliata, Stellaria media, Dryopteris filix-mas, Claytonia sibirica, Maianthemum stellatum, Fragaria vesca</i>, and <i>Adenocaulon bicolor</i>.
