Landscape Narrative	This plot is representative of a lot of gravel bar areas in the New River. Justicia beds are common throughout. In many of these areas Justicia has almost complete coverage. In other areas, Saururus cernuus and other species can be found.;This plot is in the main channel of the New River. It is on a slightly elevated gravel bar. The area is surely intermittently flooded.
Representativeness	This plot is a Justicia americana/Saururus cernuus bed. This community is located on many gravel bars all along this part of the New River. Most of the time, Justicia has near complete coverage.
