[April 9, 1916]
Coolgardie Yucca Mesa
Calico Mts. [Mountains]

A Yucca trunk, left-hand side of road going out, and about _ mile from signposts. The marked trees are on right hand sides. The old Yucca of p. 137 is blazed and lies beyond the young group of p. 136, a smaller tree in the line of them being blazed as a guide to it.
Miss Waterman drove me out behind the blacks and helped me to make the measurements of the Yuccas.

No. 6695. Grayia spinosa Moq.
Hop Sage. _ The fruits are wonderfully like hops says Miss Waterman.
[Hop Sage] About 3 feet high. The shrubs are fine sights now in their loads of fruit which is red-purple and a brave sight, before it becomes straw-white.

No. 6696 Nama demissum Gray.
Red-purple; flat on ground when branching. Making red-purple carpets on the sandy flats in Calico Wash.
I prefer to call this corolla bright red _ a most delightful bright red, but color sharps would say it was of the purple series I suppose. Corolla 5 lines long, funnelform, with broad limb (6 to 2 lines broad). Lower part of tube yellow, i.e. whole of true tube, at top of which unequal stamens are inserted.
