Name: Geranium viscosissimum Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This open meadow association is known only from Grand Teton National Park and surrounding U.S. Forest Service land. It is a montane to subalpine forb community that occurs in subxeric to mesic areas. The elevational range of stands is 2365 to 2760 m (7750-9050 feet). The well-drained soils include loams, sandy loams, and clay loams. It is dominated by forbs, although graminoids do occur. The most abundant and consistently present species in 7 plots are <i>Geranium viscosissimum, Delphinium x occidentale</i>, and <i>Elymus trachycaulus</i>. It may be similar to other forb-dominated associations noted in the literature elsewhere in Wyoming and eastern Idaho.
