Expanses of sagebrush steppe interdigitate with juniper woodlands in this area. Notably, the native perennial bunchgrass Agropyron spicatum (bluebunch wheatgrass) coexists with dense stands of the introduced annual Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) in this area. The remnant florets show the classic divergent awn that arises from the tip of the lemma in this native species of bunchgrass.
