Three species of Cercocarpus are common in the Intermountain area of the western United States: Cercocarpus montanus Raf.
Cercocarpus species are associated with desert shrub, sagebrush, pinyon-juniper, mountain brush, ponderosa pine, and mixed aspen-conifer zones (Davis 1990).
At the ecotones where species of Cercocarpus meet, the distribution of each population is controlled by precipitation and soil characteristics.

 Mountain-mahogany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mountain-mahogany (Cercocarpus) is a small genus of five or six species of deciduous shrubs or small trees in the rose family (Rosaceae), native to the western United States and northern Mexico, where they grow in semi-desert climates, often at high altitudes.
The classification of Cercocarpus within the Rosaceae is presently unclear.
The genus was originally placed in the subfamily Rosoideae, and later in subfamily Dryadeae along with the genera Chamaebatia, Purshia and Dryas, all four genera sharing root nodules that host the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Frankia.
