Site is approximately 4 miles northwest of the town of Vinton. A
pasture east of the Cedar River and south of a small, intermittent
stream. Plants occurred in moist sand on the upper portion of a north-
facing slope and south of the slope. The slope is partially covered with
Juniperus virginiana. The site is in the watershed of the Cedar River
and on the Iowan Surface.
300+ ramets were found on the upper portion of the north-facing
slope. Here E. pratense was associated with Achillea millefolium,
Equisetum arvense, Fragaria virginiana, Onoclea sensibilis, Sisyrinchium
campestre and Taraxacum officinale. Another 500+ ramets occurred
south of the slope. This is the first known collection of £, pratense
