Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance consists of tall robust forb-dominated meadows dominated by <i>Heracleum maximum, Rorippa alpina, Saussurea americana</i>, or <i>Veratrum californicum</i>. It occurs in subalpine meadows and some reach into the alpine of the Cascade Range, Intermountain West ranges, Sierra Nevada, and Rocky Mountains. Elevations range from 1350-3510 m.
