Observation Narrative
Bedrock is Hurricane Bridge Limestone. Soils appear to be seasonally moist and are shallow to bedrock. About 15% of the plot is covered by gravel-covered limestone outcrop. Manfreda virginica, Prunella vulgaris, Ruellia humilis, Houstonia canadensis, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, and Scutellaria parvula var. parvula occur mostly in open gravel microhabitats.
Plot located just above the old trail in the grassy vegetation, ca. 1 mi northeast of Hamblin School.
