Observation Narrative	Plot location: ca. 0.1 miles S of Colonial Parkway and NE of Jones Mill Pond. The habitat is a Coastal Plain ravine that has evidently downcut into calcareous Pliocene shell deposits. Relatively fertile soils here support several calciphiles and nutrient-demanding species, including Quercus muhlenbergii, Cimicifuga racemosa, Diplazium pycnocarpon, Galearis spectabilis, and Ulmus rubra. The overall vegetation is a secondary, medium-age forest dominated by Fagus grandifolia, Liriodendron tulipifera, Quercus rubra, and Carya cordiformis.
