Observation Narrative	This wetland is a small herbaceous opening in a somewhat larger depression supporting maritime swamp forest on the Back Bay side of False Cape. Saccharum giganteum ca. 2 to 2.5 meters tall forms a tall herbaceous stratum over a lower stratum of Panicum virgatum var. virgatum, Spartina patens, and Panicum verrucosum. At the time of sampling, there was a phenomenal abundance of green tree frogs on stems of the Saccharum.
