Description September 22, 1999 Upland Flats and Ridgetops Grasses. Agropyron smithil Bouteloiia gracilis, Stipa comata, Calamovilfa longifolia Forbs. Melilotus officinalis, Opuntia polycantha Synopsis Vegetation structure appears to have changed little since 1927 other than some decline in the density of Opuntia polycantha. In contrast to the 1959 descrip- tion, Agropyron smithii is now the overwhelmingly dominant grass species. We also suspect, based on the 1959 photo as opposed to the written descrip- tion, that it was quite abundant then as well. 49
