38_10 Tejon Pass, 4 May 1920 The run down from the Ridge Road into the northwesterly arm of the Mohave Desert over which we have a limited view, but a fair view of the double peaks at Tehachapi. We enter and run thru the pass. The outstanding feature in the pass is the stately assemblage of Valley Oaks (Quercus lobata). Coming down the last ridge off the Ridge Road I noticed the Black Oak (Quercus californica) and I think also Quercus lobata on the lower slopes. |
38_11 Bakersfield Plain, 4 May 1920 Betw. Rose Sta. and Bakersfield, Kern Co. As we come out of the canon of the Tejon we have a fine view over the wide expanse of the Upper San Joaquin Valley plain. It slopes with an almost accurate grade to the low moist central area of the Buena Vista Lake. Near at hand on this plain we see a great expanse of blue. When we near it we find it is a lupine in full flower. No. 8939 Lupinus nanus Dougl. var. menkerae C.P.Sm. This species covers at this time with its color some five or six thousand acres, varying from a slight coloration to lakes and pools of deep blue. No. 8940 not Plagioibothrys nothofulvus Gray. Sandy plain = P. arizonicus Greene No. 8941 Hemizonia pallida Keck. This member of the MadXXX tribe continued all the way |
