The plot is located in the Dye Creek Preserve where the North Main Road first meets the rock wall. The plot is about 100 m north of the rock wall, in thin rocky soil, right before the slope breaks into the drainage of an intermittent creek. The stand is a little past in phenology, but was dominated by Lasthenia californica, Deschampsia danthonioides, and Navarretia tagetina.; The stand has been grazed by cattle this season, as it has been for much of the last century.
