San Miguelito Rancho c. 1200 ft. Near Jolon
No. 1626 Clarkia purpurea ssp quadrivulnera This is to be distinguished from _1624 by its smaller flowers (1/2 as large and often of a very light pink or light Sidalcea color. The buds in _1626 are very small and one might say that they are hard to find; the buds in _1624 are very large, conspicuous and 4-sided. The buds of _1626 are not obviously or at all 4-sided. The trouble in distinguishing comes from _1625 found with them. All of them have 8-ribbed capsules. There is considerable variation as to hairiness of capsule but this is not, I think, significant as to distinction of species.

The old gentleman, Dutton, had a box of this, dried, ready for an emergency. He believes absolutely in this Rattlesnake Weed and says he has effected many cures. The plant may simply be chewed and the juice swallowed and also applied poultice-like to the wound, or made into a tea and also into a poultice. - Snowberry, the common sp. - Emmenanthe penduliflora Bth
