Observation Narrative	Patches of Hudsonia tomentosa - Panicum amarum dune scrub vegetation are scattered along the back dune system at the northern end of W.B. Trower Bayshore NAP, where they form a mosaic with Pinus taeda - Quercus falcata shrubland. In contrast to examples of this community type from Savage Neck and Parramore Island, Schizachyrium littorale is a component of the vegetation here. Time did not permit sampling of a variant of this community with sprawling robust Campsis radicans, scattered Opuntia humifusa and Cladonia sp., and abundant Schizachyrium.
