Observation Narrative ? Plot is located in a depression at the very upper headwaters of a tributary to Cherry Orchard Branch. An open woodland of Nyssa biflora occurs here with open herb and shrub strata and mosses on tree bases, hummocks of vegetation, and on the ground. The depression is upstream of a road that crosses this narrow drain. A culvert passes under the road and water appears to have periodically dammed up along the north side of the depression as a result. This impounded area was excluded from the plot and supports denser herbaceous vegetation with scattered Cephalanthus occidentalis.
