 Mount Watatic, Wapack / Midstate Loop - Grasses (possibly Deer's Hair Sedge)

 

A grey rock platform with some tan sand that supports brilliant green grass stalks.

These thin,stalky grasses may be the alpine Deer's Hair Sedge. Though the site is not itself alpine, the harsh rock and sandy soil, coupled with exposure, is harsh enough to prevent all but the hardiest plants from surviving.
