Observation Narrative	This plot is located on the same upper slope as plot JRNF079 (which is about 0.13 km to the west), but in this area, dense colonies of Rhododendron maximum extend to the ridge crest, dominating the understory beneath Quercus rubra and Q. montana. Floristic composition is similar to that of JRNF079 except that Galax urceolata is the most abundant herbaceous species.
