Description: The alliance forms an open to intermittent herbaceous layer. The shrub layer is sparse to open and the tree layer is absent. <i>Dudleya greenei</i> is a dominant herb, and characteristic herbs include <i>Carpobrotus chilensis</i> and <i>Atriplex californica</i>. Those often present are <i>Astragalus miguelensis</i> and <i>Erigeron glaucus</i>.
