Observation Narrative	This is a fairly typical, if narrow, stand of maritime grassland on a low dune adjacent to a Chesapeake Bay beach. Dominance is shared by the tall grasses Ammophila breviligulata, Panicum amarum var. amarum, P. amarum var. amarulum, and Uniola paniculata. Beneath them is a complex of shorter grasses and forbs, prominently including Spartina patens, Triplasis purpurea, Cenchrus tribuloides, Diodia teres, Solidago sempervirens, and Chamaesyce polygonifolia.
