Name: Allium spp. - Streptanthus spp. - Hesperolinon spp. Serpentinite Sparse Rock Vegetation Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance contains sparse herbaceous vegetation occupying serpentinite rock outcrops of the central and southern Sierra Nevada, central and northern Coast Ranges, and Klamath Mountains. Herbaceous forbs predominate and may include <i>Allium cratericola, Allium falcifolium, Asclepias solanoana, Eriogonum nudum, Eriogonum ursinum</i>, and other <i>Eriogonum</i> spp., <i>Hesperolinon</i> spp., <i>Lomatium</i> spp., <i>Phacelia</i> spp., and <i>Streptanthus</i> spp. Shrubs, including <i>Adenostoma fasciculatum, Ceanothus</i> spp., and <i>Quercus durata</i>, may be present though sparse (&lt;5%) in cover.
