17_178 Shelley Creek (Del Norte Co., California) to Waldo (Josephine Co., Ore.). [July 17, 1907] in flower are spreading, past anthers strictly erect, as the fruit matures the pedicels bend outward and the capsule is on a diverging pedicel. Azalea occidentalis is a low shrub in the chaparral and is further evidence that the forest prevailed here not so long ago. Rhododendron Californicum is not uncommon in the chaparral of these slopes. At Patrick Creek there is a small clump of Tan Oak (1 ft. diam., 40 to 55 feet high) through which the road runs and I note another small lot across the creek. These driblets are in virgin (unburned) forest. Lawson's Cypress is common along Shelly Creek. Fine trees. The young trees display beautifully the wonderful fern-like character of the foliage. -Darlingtonia californica Torr. Sprays of. Between Big Flat and Bald Mountain. Also between Adam's Station and Shelly Creek at several places. Plentiful on headwaters of Shelly Creek and W. Fork Illinois Creek. -Taxus brevifolia, More in bottom of Shelly Creek than I ever before saw in any other two places. Abundant for miles. One could say that there is a narrow grove of it. Most of it about 15 to 25 ft. h. [feet high] and the largest trunks 1 foot in diameter. |
