F.B. 39:163. -Lakes of gold; streams of white; the picture of the Douringias _cf. F.B. 32: 199-200). -Erysinum almost extinct _ used to be common. _R.H. Platt in litt. [literature]. June 15, 1917.

Since a corner of the county runs west from Suisun Valley, we have a part of the Napa Range in the county, which gives us floral features different from the characteristic interior vegetation. Rhododendron occidentale has been collected above Green Valley by H. F. Copeland no. 606. There are other things there, not characteristic of typical Solano Co., which I do not recall at the moment. |
