Name: Salix wolfii / Swertia perennis - Pedicularis groenlandica Wet Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association occurs on valley bottoms and toeslopes of valley sides in glaciated, mountainous regions of Idaho. Valley floors are generally wide, with gentle gradients in the lower reaches, while middle reaches are somewhat narrower or U-shaped. The short, broad-leaved, deciduous shrub <i>Salix wolfii</i> dominates this association, with <i>Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda</i> and <i>Lonicera caerulea</i> commonly present. The herbaceous layer is well-developed, with a mix of perennial forbs and graminoids. <i>Swertia perennis</i> and <i>Carex cusickii</i> are typically the most abundant, with the forbs <i>Pedicularis groenlandica, Polemonium occidentale, Symphyotrichum foliaceum</i>, and <i>Packera pseudaurea</i>, and the graminoids <i>Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis, Carex aquatilis, Carex rostrata</i>, and <i>Muhlenbergia filiformis</i>, locally abundant. Moss is abundant on the ground surface in most stands.
