A patch of Saururus cernuus is near the plot.;There is some change in the community towards the west. Some shrubs are scattered in a drier central area (Cephalanthus, Cornus amonum, Salix nigra, and Rubus pensilvanicus). The Rubus forms a northern border in the drier, higher areas. Basically, the community is a long narrow Hibiscus dominated strip.
Representativeness
The plot is very representative of of the eastern end of the community and generally representative of the entire strip.
