Observation Narrative	Plot location: Southern edge of creek/ stream branch to the west of the main Dragon Run Channel; near Velma, VA. Hummock and hollow microtopography. This floodplain supports some impressive bald cypress trees with massive buttresses. Lonicera japonica is a major component of the herb layer, with Galium aparine and Toxicodendron radicans. The shrub layer is relatively open with Lindera benzoin and Asimina triloba dominating. The thick ground cover made it difficult to isolate species with low cover.
