Observation Narrative	The plot is located on the west slope of a secondary dune at the northern end of Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and supports a dry grassland with some Hudsonia tomentosa. This vegetation appears to be related to that of Myrica pensylvanica / Schizachyrium littorale sparse shrublands, although shrubs are absent here. Plot located ca. 0.15 mi south of beach road gate and 1.1 mi southeast of Cherrytree Hill.
