Name: Hymenoclea monogyra - Brickellia laciniata Chihuahuan-Sonoran Desert Wash Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Shrublands in this southwestern desert alliance occur along drainages that dissect bajadas and mesas in the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts. The sparse to moderately dense shrub layer is dominated by <i>Hymenoclea monogyra</i> and/or <i>Brickellia laciniata</i>. Other shrubs often also present may include <i>Acacia greggii, Ambrosia ambrosioides, Baccharis salicifolia, Baccharis sarothroides, Celtis ehrenbergiana, Eriogonum fasciculatum, Fallugia paradoxa, Olneya tesota, Parkinsonia microphylla, Prosopis velutina</i>, and <i>Rhus microphylla</i>. The herbaceous layer is typically sparse and may include <i>Mentzelia pumila</i> and <i>Polanisia dodecandra ssp. trachysperma</i>. Stands occur in arroyo type riparian zones and adjacent floodplains. The best examples of this community are in the lower portions of the arroyo where the streambed widens.
