Observation Narrative	The plot represents a moderately rich, mixed hardwood forest occupying a small, east facing wooded cliff at foot of slope bordering Fortney Branch, just south of the southern end of Lake Moomaw. A small cave is located within the plot. Outcrops occupy about half of the plot area, but crevices and pockets of fertile, calcareous soil provide good footholds for nutrient demanding species such as Solidago flexicaulis, Impatiens pallida, Dicentra cucullaria, Carex albursina, etc. Approximately ten clumps of the rarity Lithospermum occur within the plot area. Microtopography is irregular due to outcrops.
