Observation Narrative	This tidal marsh vegetation, situated ca. 25 cm lower in elevation than a nearby Taxodium distichum swamp, is dominated by perennial and annual hydrophytic forbs. The vegetation is somewhat less than a meter tall, though scattered Zizania plants rise much higher. Percent cover estimates were particularly difficult to determine because some species were senescent and others, such as Polygonum arifolium, climb over and through other species. Plot located on north shore of Chickahominy River, 0.5 mi southwest of junction of Rt. 627 and railroad tracks.
