Stand of Lepidium chalepense on disturbed, gentle SW slope at the base of rubble excavated from an old prospect pit, blooming earlier than the majority of L. chalepense stands on the site. This area burned in the fire the previous fall, and L. chalepense was one of the most exuberant plants to resume aboveground growth on this microsite. In the background are the burned stems of a Prunus virginiana thicket at the base of the hill, at the edge between grassland and floodplain.
