Amelanchier alnifolia, Prunus pennsylvanica, P. americana, P. 

 demissa, Crataegus color adensis et spp., Rohinia neomexicana (in 

 the south only), Acer glabrum, and A. Negundo, with a few others. 

 A few shrubs are present and a variable undergrowth, with one 

 typical aspect of Viola canadensis Rybd., Hydro phyllum, and 

 Galium. A Ligusticum is very abundant in places. 



Aspen association. — Populus tremuloides is restricted, in all but 

 the highest parts of the foothills, to relatively mesophytic ravines. 

 It does not come up abundantly following burning of the pine 

 forest, as is true in the higher elevations and farther north.
