The aspect is open grassland. Llestern wheatgrass, needle-and-
thread, Indian ricegress, and native bluegrasses :hake up most
of the plant community, wish small percentages of blue grama
sedges, Junegrass, Scribner neeolagrass, yrecn needlegrass (in
places), and squirrel tail. Other grasses which may occur--but
generally in very small amounts are slender wheatgrass, mountain
muhly, slimstem muhly, three-awn and sand drepseeds. Forbs make•
up 10", or less. Pinang the most common fortis are eriogonum, loco,
lupine, groundsel, 4lyoming paintbrush, and globemallow. ',finter-
fat, fourwing saltbush, Green's or Douglas rabbitbrush, and
fringed sagebrush usually occur as scattered plants. Yucca may
be noticeably but makes up a small percent of the annual yield.
There Rtay be traces of spineless horsebrush, snakcweed, and
prickly pear. Scattered currant, gooseberry, or skunkbush sumac
may occur, especially on rocky inclusions within the site.
Note: This site differs from loamy Park by its general lack of Arizona
fescue and lower production. On areas bordering the San Luis Valley
it 15 at Slightly higher el evatians and grows less blue grama in
proportion to taller grasses than yountain Ou[•Nash.
