Observation Narrative	Plot is situated near the southwest corner of an extensive patch of Acorus calamus along an east-running slough which parallels the hedgerow at Cowbane. Vegetation of this calcareous spring marsh / muck fen grades to dominance by Typha latifolia and Caltha palustris to the west, to wet prairie / prairie fen to the south and north, and to a large colony of Phalaris arundinacea near the eastern boundary of the preserve. From edge of clump of Salix in drier Carex-dominated prairie: 17.2 m @ 95 deg to corner 1.
