Observation Narrative	Plot location: east side of Bennet Creek in vicinity of Quaker Neck. A dry-mesic, convex bluff-top apparently representative of scattered habitats along Bennetts Creek. The vegetation has a very dense, evergreen understory dominated by Ilex opaca var. opaca and Kalmia latifolia and fits the concept of a "Piedmont/Coastal Plain Heath Bluff" (Schafale and Weakley 1990) quite well. A short distance to the north, large Fagus grandifolia are important in the canopy mix; these are absent in the plot sample.
