Name: Ericameria nana - Holodiscus dumosus / Penstemon deustus Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This plant community of the intermountain western U.S. is characterized by a shrub stratum with low to moderate cover. <i>Ericameria nana</i> and <i>Holodiscus dumosus</i> are the dominant shrub species. The sparse herbaceous layer has very few graminoids, but those that persist include <i>Poa secunda</i> and <i>Elymus elymoides</i>. Forbs are extremely sparse but the presence of <i>Penstemon deustus</i> is a defining characteristic of this association. <i>Potentilla glandulosa</i> and <i>Linanthus pungens</i> may also be present. This association, like all associations in ~Inter-Mountain Basins Volcanic Rock and Cinder Land (CES304.791)$$, is limited to barren and sparsely vegetated volcanic substrates of basalt and basaltic andesite origin, including tuffs, cinder cones, spatter cones, pressure plateaus, or cinder fields. It may occur in large-patch, small-patch or linear spatial patterns.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34346-{47AAF1C6-D7A0-4152-8C89-E327E6C7CA2C} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
