Observation Narrative	The habitat is a sheltered, north-facing dolomitic cliff face located along the Clinch River. Periodic ephemeral seepage moistens the rock face which provides a rooting medium for vascular plants. The plot is located in one of the most protected and least disturbed parts of the cliff; other portions of the face have significant numbers of exotics, particularly Stellaria media and Rubus phoenicolasius. Plot located on basal portion of a sheer cliff bordering the Clinch River, 1.45 km (0.9 mi) southeast of Nash Ford and Rt. 645 bridge.
