Description: This extremely xeromorphic evergreen shrubland of the southwestern mountains and deserts is characterized by the rosette shrubs <i>Nolina parryi</i> or <i>Nolina microcarpa</i> forming an open canopy over a low-shrub layer. Shrubs may include <i>Ferocactus cylindraceus, Coleogyne ramosissima, Encelia farinosa, Eriogonum fasciculatum, Acacia greggii, Salazaria mexicana, Agave deserti, Hyptis emoryi, Ericameria linearifolia</i>, and <i>Ambrosia dumosa</i>. Emergent individuals of <i>Juniperus californica, Yucca schidigera</i>, and/or <i>Fouquieria splendens</i> may occur. The herbaceous layer is sparse and often composed of perennial graminoids such as <i>Achnatherum speciosum</i> and <i>Poa secunda</i>. This alliance is found in the Mojave Desert of California, and in Arizona and southern Nevada. Stands typically occur on steep slopes, ridges or in valleys.
