Name: Northern Interandean Xeromorphic Scrub & Grassland Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: The macrogroup represents the xerophytic shrublands of arid intermontane valleys in the Andes of southern Ecuador and northern Peru, growing between 800-1500 m elevation, with a pronounced dry season. Characteristic species are <i>Acacia macracantha, Cercidium praecox, Colicodendron scabridum, Croton wagneri, Duranta dombeyana, Jatropha curcas, Lantana rugulosa, Lantana trifolia, Opuntia quitensis, Parkinsonia aculeata, Pisonia aculeata, Sapindus saponaria</i>, and <i>Senna mollissima</i>, which most likely represent impoverished stages of the original vegetation. The communities occurring in the lower reaches of the Maranon valley in northern Peru have a richer set of species representing this type, especially of the Cactaceae family.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:41004-{5718658E-8C29-4F6D-A85A-5F9241740BC2} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
