Observation Narrative	Plot located 70 m north of SHNP005, completed by Rawinski and Fleming in 1990. It was placed in a uniformly sloping 0.25-acre rocky grassland with scattered shrubs and trees. Ephemeral seepage is locally present in the plot and surrounding area. The plot is representative of virtually pristine outcrop barren vegetation occurring in multiple patches on the south flank of Little Devils Stairs.
