A forest (many of the trees are Populus tremuloides) occurs in much of the site (having at least in part invaded an area that was probably tallgrass prairie or sedge meadow based on the soil mapped at the collection site which is Clyde silty clay loam (84), a Typic Haplaquoll). This site is on the Iowan Surface. One genet, with 10 or more ramets, occurs in a somewhat open area in the northwest portion of the forest. The ramets are approximately 3 meters tall and have green fruits. Betula pumila is associated with Calamaarostis canadensis. Caltha palustris. Chelone glabra. Eupatorium maculatum. Impatiens capensis. Onoclea sensibilis. Parthenocissus auinauefolia. Rumex orbiculatus and Urtica dioica. Mark J.
