Some pedons have a Bw horizon that has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 3 to 6, and chroma of 3 or 4. Some pedons have a BC horizon that has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 3 to 6, and chroma of 1 to 4. The Bg, Bw, and BC horizons are loam, fine sandy loam, or sandy loam in the fine-earth fraction. Consistence is friable or firm. The Cd horizon has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 3 to 6, and chroma of 1 to 4.
Texture is loam, fine sandy loam, or sandy loam in the fine-earth fraction.
It is massive, platy, or coarse prismatic and is dense and compact. Consistence is firm or very firm. There are currently no other series in the same family. The Monarda series is in a closely related family and may be a competing series when a cation exchange activity class is assigned. Monarda soils have more than 10 percent clay in the particle size control section.
