Observation Narrative	The habitat is a riverside dolomite outcrop that rises approximately 4 meters above mean water level and is scoured by occasional floods. Probably at least annually. Sparse vascular vegetation is characterized by scrubby, battered trees, the prairie grasses Andropogon gerardii and Panicum virgatum var. virgatum and the forbs Baptisia australis and Cerastium arvense ssp. velutinum. Two notably rare plants occur here: Muhlenbergia cuspidata, a grass of calcareous cliffs that is disjunct from southwestern Virginia, and Solidago rupestris, a globally uncommon and highly state rare goldenrod of rocky riverside habitats.
