17_184 East Fork Illinois River, Happy Camp [Trail July 18, 1907] Oregon (traveling southerly) Species of Broad-leaved Trees. Tree form Shrub form Quercus Garryana Quercus Breweri (Oerstediana) Quercus Wislizenii var. fruticosa Quercus agrifolia Forma normala Jepson Quercus lobata Quercus Douglasii Quercus chrysolepis Forma Jepson var. vaccinifolia var. Palmeri Quercus Kelloggii Forma normala Jepson Umbellularia Californica Forma arida Jepson Acer macrophyllum Madrona is remarkable for the way in which it attempts to recover from injury, storm or fire or rot. A rotten old stump with a single streak of good bark will put out a flourishing bushel of foliage. It rapidly covers fire or axe wounds, and is most courageous and hopeful in the way it goes on living. One never saw a disconsoliate madrona, as one sees a gnarled and expiring old oak, or weather beaten apple tree-like Douglas Oak or what not. |
