Observation Narrative ? Plot location: Open outcrop on N side of the Nottoway River, 0.1 miles SE of SR49 bridge. Despite frequent visitation, this granitic flatrock is in good condition, with vegetation mats intact. This plot captures strictly herbaceous vegetation on a very gently sloping surface. Sparse herbaceous vegetation is concentrated in a linear crevice/ depression in the outcrop where ephemeral moisture is periodically available. Characteristic species here include Talinum teretifolium, Minuartia glabra, Schizachyrium scoparium, Opuntia humifusa, Aristida dichotoma, and Croton willdenowii. Bryophytes and lichens found in the plot are Grimmia laevigata, Polytrichum sp., and cf. Xanthoparmelia sp.
