Co-occurring species include <i>Ambrosia dumosa, Bebbia juncea, Ephedra nevadensis, Krameria erecta, Larrea tridentata, Viguiera parishii</i>, and <i>Yucca schidigera</i>. <i>Juniperus californica</i> is also sometimes present at sparse cover. It commonly associates with other upper-elevation alliances such as <i>Juniperus californica, Pinus monophylla, Quercus cornelius-mulleri</i>, and <i>Salazaria mexicana</i>. Total vegetation cover ranges from 2-20%. This association occurs at mid to upper elevations on rocky slopes to ridgelines in the Mojave Desert and western Colorado Desert regions in California, and in Baja California, Mexico. Stands have also been identified in Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the Newberry Mountains, and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Nevada, on west to Joshua Tree National Park in California.
