HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
Queencup beadlily occurs within many habitat type series.  In Montana
and Idaho, these include the spruce (Picea), grand fir (Abies grandis),
subalpine fir (A. lasiocarpa), mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana), and
western red cedar (Thuja plicata) series.  Typical phases associated
with queencup beadlily habitat types include menziesia (Menziesia
ferruginea), beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax), and queencup beadlily.  In
Montana, queencup beadlily is an indicator of more maritime microsites.
In northern and central Idaho, however, it is an indicator of more mesic
microsites [5,24,29].
