Pennsylvania, United States
Locality: McKean County, Allegheny National Forest, Bradford Ranger District. Along both sides of FR320, approximately 0.2 miles south of junction with FR455.
Coordinates: 41.8179, -78.7348 (Map it)
Elevation: 629m.
Georeference protocol: Lat/lon determined by GPS
Habitat: Wild Habitat
Environment description: Fen. Mixed mosaic of grass/sedge meadow, sphagnum lawn and dry upland mounds. Eriophorum virginicum, Scirpus cyperinus, Glyceria canadensis, Lycopodiella inundata, Vaccinium macrocarpon and numerous Carex and Juncus spp. dominate the saturated portions, while Rubus hispidus and Lycopodium spp. dominate the drier mounds. Population size 1215 m2.
Comment: CRANBERRY IGRR PROJECT Typical for species. Plants present many upright shoots. No flowers. Abundant fruit. Fruit ranges from about 9 to 17 mm in diameter. Fruit shape ranges from pear-shaped to spherical. Fruit color ranges from salmon-pink to nearly black. Fruit consistency ranges from firm and waxy to soft and non-waxy. Vigor and productiveness of plants varies throughout population, though, in general, those in the southern half of the site are denser and bearing substantially more fruit. The densest fruit set tends to be right along road margin

Notes: This site is part of a brownwater upland wetland complex heavily impacted by historic Oil, Gas, and Mineral Activity and bisected by a maintained forest road. It drains into an unnamed tributary to Turnup Run. One small disjunct population (4.5 sq meters) is located approximately 1.15 miles NE of this site along the edge of FR305. The nearest sizeable population is located approximately 8.8 miles E of this site.
