Observation Narrative
A fairly typical but low foredune, lying perhaps two meters in elevation above the beach and co-dominated by Ammophila breviligulata and Panicum amarum ssp. amarum. Cenchrus tribuloides and Physalis walteri are also locally common in the plot, and a suite of characteristic, low-cover dune plants also co-occurs.
