Observation Narrative	The habitat of this plot is a high elevation seepage wetland supporting a mosaic of shrub thickets and graminoid-dominated herbaceous openings with a few scattered, stunted trees present. Although clearly not an ombrotrophic system, this community type is often referred to as a southern Appalachian "bog." Many localized high elevation and northern species occur here: Abies fraseri, Carex trisperma var. trisperma, Eriophorum virginicum, etc. This wetland has been slightly degraded by feral ponies and the presence of a few exotic plants (e.g., Holcus lanatus). Plot located in boggy opening in shrub thickets at the head of Quebec Branch ("Sullivan Swamp"), 0.3 mi WNW of Massie Gap.
