4_20 Round Meadow . July 2. Have been working here over a week. Seeing the same plants over and over again I find myself looking at certain ones with continually renewed interest, e.g. Hosackia crassifolia Its half- or wholly pendulous fls with their reddish calyces look at a little distance as if the bunch of whitish corollas had had their tips dipped in some black fluid (ink) - Sarcodes sanguinea (see no. 711) has typical Ericaceous corolla with 5 spreading lobes, calyx-like, as long as tube or urn-shaped part. In - Pterospora andromeda on the contrary the calyx is only 1/3 length of corolla, or less. |
4_21 Giant Forest. 1900 The trail is being continually blocked by falling trees and so one has to go around. One could represent graphically a very crooked trail! I have read somewhere that in Africa the footpaths of the natives are worn hard by centuries of use but that if an obstruction falls across the way, - a rock or a limb - no one takes the trouble to remove it but the path deflects to avoid it. No 710. Thalictrum fendleri 4 ft. high. Polygamous. Round Meadow No. 711. Sarcodes sanguinea Round Meadow - under Sequoias. See o. 20. |
