Observation Narrative
Vegetation in this plot is typical of well drained, sandy levees and terraces along the Roanoke River in the south-central Piedmont. Exotics are a major problem in most areas, including this one. However, parts of this stand are above average in quality and maturity. The state rare plant Dicliptera brachiata abounds in this habitat.
