Name: Pseudoroegneria spicata - Eriogonum heracleoides Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association is described from stands located in the upper Hells Canyon region. Similar stands are located in the Seven Devils and eastern Salmon River mountains. The association occurs on moderately steep to steep, southeast- to southwest-facing, mid to upper slopes at 1310 to 1710 m (4300-5600 feet) elevation. Soils are derived from basalt rock and colluvium. <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata - Eriogonum heracleoides</i> is the highest elevation <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i>-dominated plant association. <i>Eriogonum heracleoides</i> is well-represented in the open bunchgrass stands. <i>Melica bulbosa</i> is often present. Consistently associated forbs are <i>Achillea millefolium, Frasera albicaulis, Penstemon venustus</i>, and <i>Lupinus caudatus</i>. Sites are more moist and cool compared to other <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i>-dominated habitats. High-elevation <i>Festuca idahoensis - Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> communities are often adjacent.
