Landscape Narrative |
Cephalanthus, Impatiens, Commelina and Carex grayi are nearby. There are old tires and trash in the area.;The vegetation covering the ground is mainly Leersia virginica with irregular patches of Onoclea, Toxicodendron, and Boehmeria cylindrica. The tree species, Populus deltoides, Platanus occidentalis and Acer saccharium, are well mixed, but each dominates in different very small areas.
