Observation Narrative	Plot was placed on a south-facing ravine slope, an unusual topographic situation on the Virginia side of the Potomac Gorge. The vegetation here is a mature forest dominated by Fagus grandifolia and a lush assortment of nutrient-demanding spring geophytes. The rare annual Phacelia covillei is abundant at this site.
