Location Narrative	Directions to Plot: 134 freeway E to Forest Lawn offramp. Make a right turn to Griffith Park Drive then take a left on Mount Hollywood Drive. Take Mt Hollywood Drive south and stop at hairpin turn where Griffith Park Observatory comes into view. Take trail from hairpin turn generally west, past one trail junction to right. Come to junction in trail. Plot is south of trail and southeast of main drainage on SW-facing slope. 950 m due N of Griffith Observatory.

Landscape Narrative	Upland; Description of the plot in relation to the rest of the stand: Representativeness of association: Stand has two general aspects, SE and NE with a drainage in middle. SE aspect is certaintly Malosma laurina and Eriogonum fasciculatum and non-native grasses. Vast majority is this association with exception of drainage which was avoided. Malosma laurina cover a little lower than overall for stand. Representative of plot: Decision was made to include tall shrubs and low shrubs and herbaceous while avoiding disturbed areas. Chose aspect that was most prevalent especially because other main aspect has more disturbed areas. SE exposure has less cover and diversity than aspect this plot was in. Also drainage avoided because of non-representativeness of species present there.
