Landscape Narrative	Upslope quickly grades to sycamore and river birch then tulip poplar (= steep riparian edge). Road on river right, rail road on river left.;Wet cobble bar along a riffle reach of river. Cobbles and boulder average breadbox to TV sized. Community is an herbaceous wetland strongly dominated by water-willow, appearing as a riverside lawn. Relatively high diversity compared to most other stands of Justicia sampled, possibly due to drier postion, late season and /or limestone influenced substrate.
