28_46 Mt. Tamalpais [Jan. 9, 1914] Dendromecon rigidum, very twiggy and dense growth shrubs 4 to 6 ft [feet] high in lower part of railway embankment where soil is deep from "fill." Branches die back in winter more or less, and are sub-deciduous. Root sprouts acc. [according to] Matthews. Arctostaphylos nummularia, shrubs 2 to 4 ft. [feet] high, fire killed utterly, without a sign of sprouting ever! Struck dead as if electrocuted. Shrubs not at all or scarcely burned, the leaves persisting as if frost killed. Pickeringia montana, its tap root is very stout, fleshy and somewhat brittle. It runs down 4 or 5 ft [feet] at least. Tap root swollen just below ground. Quercus wislizenii frutescens, its surface roots of great size 10 ft. [feet] long and 1 to 3 in. [inches] thick. Apparently these roots spread along the surface and do not go down. |
