Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This subalpine meadow association is found on moderately steep, mostly northeast and east slopes with well-drained soils. These variably dense herbaceous meadows often occur near <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i> tree islands. They are always codominated by <i>Valeriana sitchensis</i>, which is usually the most abundant species. <i>Festuca viridula, Ligusticum grayi, Lupinus arcticus ssp. subalpinus</i>, and <i>Lupinus latifolius</i> are prominent to codominant. <i>Arnica latifolia, Castilleja parviflora, Carex nigricans, Erigeron peregrinus, Luzula glabrata var. hitchcockii, Polygonum bistortoides</i>, or <i>Pulsatilla occidentalis</i> are other herbaceous species usually present in this diverse community. This association occurs at Mount Rainier National Park, the North Cascades and less commonly in the Olympic Mountains.
