Observation Narrative	This plot is located about 300 m SW of CULP003 on Mount Pony. The habitat is similar but lies on a steeper, more uniform slope above a small ravine. Diabase outcrops here are comprised of dipping pavements and slabs, with crevices and thin humus and bryophyte mats providing footholds for vascular plants; mineral soil could not be located anywhere on or around these outcrops and was not collected. Vegetation is a very open shrubland, with Juniperus virginiana the principal species. The herbaceous flora differs somewhat from that of CULP003 in having Cheilanthes lanosa, Opuntia humifusa, and xerophytic forbs more abundant than the graminoids.
