Native Vegetation The aspect is open grassland. Western wheatgrass, needle- and- thread, Indian ricegrass, and native bluegrasses make up most of the plant community, with small percentages of blue grams, sedges, Junegrass, Scribner needlegrass, green needlegrass ( in places), and squirreltail. Other grasses which may occur--but generally in very small amounts are slender wheatgrass, mountain muhly, slimstem muhly, three- awn and sand dropseed. Forbs make up 10% or less. Among the most common forbs are eriogonum, loco, lupine. groundsel, Wyoming paintbrush, and globemallow. Winter fat, fourwing saltbush, Green's or Douglas rabbitbrush, and fringed sage- brush usually occur as scattered plants. Yucca may be noticeable but makes up a small percent of the annual yield. There may be traces of spineless horsebrush, snake- weed, and prickly pear. Scattered currant, gooseberry, or skunkbush sumac may occur, especially on rocky inclusions within the site.
