Observation Narrative	The plot occurs at the crest of a greenstone cliff, but upslope lands provide seepage at some sections of the cliff crest. Soil fertility is evidently enhanced by this lateral drainage. A large number of microhabitats exist within the plot (e.g. bare rock, cobbles, mineral soil, seepages, etc). This habitat complexity undoubtedly influences the species richness. Over 50 vascular plants species in the plot. Plot directions: plot in rocky glade at crest of cliff above Little Devils Stairs Trail.
