Observation Narrative	A long, narrow plot (10 X 40m) was positioned to capture wetland vegetation along a small, boggy drain through acidic "flatwoods" characteristic of alluvial fans at the western foot of the Blue Ridge. The overstory is currently rather open due to the death of several Pinus rigida trees within the past ten years. Dominants of the saturated forest here are Acer rubrum and Nyssa sylvatica (overstory), Vaccinium fuscatum (shrub), and Osmunda cinnamomea (herb). Gaylussacia dumosa var. dumosa is a noteworthy Coastal Plain disjunct recorded in the plot. Plot location: approx. 0.15 mi. SW of where Rt. 661 crosses the August/Rockingham county line.
