Landscape Narrative	This plot is in an open Flatrock Community. Other Flatrock Communities can be found at Camp Brookside and Sandstone Falls Boardwalk Area as well as at Cotton Hill. These areas are characterized by sparse tree canopy cover (only a few Juniperus virginiana, Pinus virginiana, and Quercus stellata usually present). The shrub layer is thick in this area with lots of Rosa multiflora, Rubus sp., Rhus copallinum, Rhus hirta, and Juniperus virginiana. Common herbs include Asplenium platyneuron, Hypericum gentianoides, and Krigia virginica.;This plot is in an open flatrock community. Bedrock is exposed in many areas. In others, the bedrock is covered by moss, lichens, or a very thin soil layer.
Representativeness	This plot is representative of an open flatrock community. There is very little tree layer (only scattered Juniperus virginiana). The shrub layer is well developed at this site with Rhus copallinum, Rhus hirta, Juniperus virginiana, Rosa multiflora, Rub
