Landscape Narrative	Surrounded by open "bog" with Polytrichum, Sphagnum, and Eriophorum. Bog is in valley floor surrounded by mountains.;Rare community in the largest "bog" in West Virginia. No disturbance. Very good condition. In Forest Service Botanical Area. Soft, dry, prominent hummocks with Andromeda on both top and bottom of hummocks. Graminoids favor hollows between hummocks. Soil becomes peatier with depth, possibly indicating pre-logging peatland at turn of Century.
Representativeness	Isolated patch of Andromeda in very large "bog". Not representative of the bog as a whole, but one of the only good representations of Andromeda in West Virginia.
