Why not make this classification = Andropogon - Yucca Association over most of the hills, and for Garden - Morrill Co. portion make it Muhlenbergia - Yucca association? This is good distribution of Yucca, and since it is in practically all parts througout the year = hardly mere society. It is always in the A. scap. in most places but here in very same sites with Muhlenbergia . And this leads to another my probable stage in developement of R-S. formation here - i.e. the Muhlenbergia - Yucca association suceeding the Andropogon - Yucca assoc. ​! Then too there are many Redfieldia plants in this assoc. ​ here outside the blowouts which certainly indicates that this area is much younger developmentally than any other I have seen. The greater abundance of Yucca here also contributes to this view as well as the fact that there are many more bare blowouts here than anywhere else in the hills! The Carex pensylvanica society of this association is conspicuous at this season.
