Observation Narrative	Plot describes herbaceous to sparsely scrubby vegetation of a low elevation greenstone outcrop barren. Plants unusual for the region abound here. Muhlenbergia capillaris var. capillaris, a grass of rare and local distribution in this part of Virginia, dominates the barren, along with Carex pensylvanica, Danthonia spicata and Bouteloua curtipendula, a grass usually confined to carbonate rock substrates. Ephemeral groundwater seepage on part of the outcrop supports a small colony of Dodecatheon meadia, which is not known elsewhere on the northern Virginia Blue Ridge. Plot located on steep, southwest-facing slope ca. 50 m downslope of Shenandoah National Park boundary, 0.5 mi WNW of Dickey Ridge Visitor Center on Skyline Drive.
