Blowouts are very numerous here - being in size from 30 - 100 to 60 - 275. At this time there are many seedlings in the bottoms of there blowouts. In many places the old culins & leaves of Redfieldia flexuousa are completely blown to pieces and out of the blowout and in their place many new offshoots are appearing from the persistent rhizomes. Lathyrus omatus is now in its prime - being most abundant on the most open soil where there is considerable hummus, i.e. hard soil, but is also copious all over the hills on all exposures. there are few willows up in the hills here - no very noteworthy willow - dogwood thickets on north slopes as at Halsey . Very frequently in the shallow pockets high up in the hills one finds a society of Eriogonum annuum which in early spring is as conspicuous as in late summer became of the many stems with flat umbels which are as gray as when plants were alive and in flower.
