Location Narrative  |
This stand is located along a vernal swale on a volcanic plateau. The center of the stand is a shallow, bare, rock channel which is sparsely vegetated with species such as Eryngium castrense where there is a small amount of water still flowing. The herbaceous vegetation is dominated by Trifolium variegatum and Leontodon and extends for 0.5-3 m on each side of the drainage.
