Name: Saxifraga odontoloma Wet Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This herbaceous wet meadow occurs in Oregon and Colorado. <i>Saxifraga odontoloma</i> is abundant with various wet-site forbs and graminoids scattered through the sites at low cover, including <i>Mitella pentandra, Epilobium ciliatum, Senecio triangularis, Ranunculus uncinatus, Glyceria striata, Muhlenbergia filiformis, Juncus ensifolius</i>, and <i>Luzula parviflora</i>. Two of the sites sampled in central and eastern Oregon were springs and two were along the banks of narrow, high-gradient Rosgen A streams. All sites are heavily shaded and are very wet throughout the growing season, and soils are either organic oozes (sapric histosols) or have organic rich loam or silt loam surface horizons over cobbly subsoils. Essentially the rooting zone (note that the average rooting depth is very shallow at 13 cm) is saturated. These sites are less frequently disturbed by erosion, sedimentation and flooding than ~<i>Senecio triangularis</i> Wet Meadow (CEGL001987)$$.
