Observation Narrative ? A very bouldery, rich, high elevation mixed hardwood forest. Some large Fraxinus americana and Carya cordiformis specimens occur in and near the plot. Laportea canadensis is particularly abundant and vigorous in the herbaceous layer, which also contains a population of the state rare northern species Geranium robertianum. Plot location: Shenandoah NP. On rocky slope along the east side of Skyline Drive, ca. 20-40 meters upslope from the roadway and 150 meters NNE of Hazeltop Ridge Overlook.
