Nov. 1923. Cont. from p. 139.- Lupine that I know. Adenocaulon bicolor was noted in the lower woods. The panicles, dead, dry, all fruits gone, still towered aloft; the lower part of the stem bore the foliage leaves as normal [?best guess], but these leaves are still functioning! still green and "carrying on". No. 10,308. Quercus wislizenii A. DC. var. frutescens Engelm. Near West Point. Acorns.
- "Fairy Circles" and Plant Circles. In Death Valley, in the Funeral Range I observed certain plant circles, the explanation of which baffled me (cf. vol. 33, p. 115). There now comes to me a letter from D. L. Gillan, describing grass circles at head of San Joaquin Valley. He sends a photo.
