Observation Narrative
The habitat is a fertile, sheltered, dolomitic slope in a ravine cutting through bluffs along the Shenandoah River. In the spring, a profusion of spring geophytes carpets the ground, but most of this early maturing vegetation was dying back on 22 June 1998. Plot located on north side of Shenandoah River, 1.1 mi west of mouth of Morgan Mill Stream.
