A1660 Corydalis scouleri Wet Meadow Alliance
Type Concept Sentence: Wet meadow herbaceous alliance dominated by Corydalis scouleri from the Snoqualmie and Skykomish river drainages in Washington and Oregon.
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Scouler''s Fumewort Wet Meadow Alliance
Colloquial Name: Scouler''s Fumewort Wet Meadow
Hierarchy Level: Alliance
Type Concept: This wet meadow herbaceous alliance is dominated by Corydalis scouleri from the Snoqualmie River and adjacent Skykomish River drainages in Washington and Oregon. However, it is poorly documented with only one reference documenting the type. Information contained within the reference is not adequate to develop a description for this alliance. More information is needed.
Diagnostic Characteristics: Stands dominated by Corydalis scouleri.
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: This vegetation type is poorly documented with only one reference (Henderson and Peter 1982) documenting it. More information is needed for this alliance. Should the reader have information or data available which verifies or describes either the association or the alliance, please provide that information to the Western Regional ecologists.
