Observation Narrative
Plot located at crest of limestone bedrock spur sloping toward the southwest at a 15 degree angle. The crest of the spur is 3-4 m wide and it consists of numerous small ledges; plot encompasses the entire crest. Shallow dark organic rich soil occurs in crevices and on small ledges. The vegetation occurs on a fairly oligotrophic site; very little or no moisture and colluvium reach the site from overland flow.
The similar spur to the east has nearly identical vegetation, plus the following species: Verbena simplex, Arenaria serpyllifolia, Phlox subulata, Tridens flavus and Carex eburnea.
