Shrubs collected here by me May 5, 1933 were identified as follows: Ericameria monactis, Tetradymia stenolepis, Parosela fremontii, Menodora spinescens (now in full bloom), Salvia carnosa, Coleogyne ramosissima, Grayia spinosa, and Ephedra viridis. Others noted are Chrysothamnus, Larrea, Beloperone, Krameria, Encelia, and Opuntia. Two shrubs in blossoms are begging to be identified. Annuals?

Some minute plants in bloom in the open ground. Looked for ferns in the rim rock but found none.
