Description: The open canopy is always dominated by <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i>. <i>Tsuga mertensiana</i> is occasionally present but never prominent. <i>Callitropsis nootkatensis</i> or <i>Picea engelmannii</i> can be prominent. The well-developed dwarf-shrub layer is dominated or codominated by <i>Vaccinium deliciosum</i>. <i>Paxistima myrsinites, Phyllodoce empetriformis, Vaccinium membranaceum</i>, or <i>Vaccinium scoparium</i> are usually present or occasionally prominent in the dwarf-shrub layer. The herb layer is usually low to moderate in cover. <i>Arnica latifolia, Luzula glabrata var. hitchcockii, Valeriana sitchensis, Luetkea pectinata, Lupinus arcticus ssp. subalpinus, Lupinus latifolius, Pedicularis racemosa</i>, or <i>Rubus lasiococcus</i> are usually present. This association occurs at high elevations in the Cascade Range and the Olympic Mountains and in Oregon. It is found at the ecotone between forest and subalpine parkland or as tree islands within the subalpine parkland.
