Sunday, August 18, 1946 8 A bright, clear day After breakfast I started for Gering. The site south of the North Platte, and west of the highway where I collected my early Nebraska specimens of Hypoxis (yellow star-grass) in 1935-36, has been destroyed by sand and gravel dredging. My notes for the years named above, and my photographs of plants in flowering stage, are the only record of the species in the state west of North Platte (see winter, 1937). The extensive groups of Polanisia ("clammy-weed") noted in the years cited, bordering this now sandpit area, have been destroyed; but many scattered plants persist. Crossing to the east side of the highway I entered the area where from 1934-38 I gathered quantities of buffalo-berries ( Sheperdia lepangyrea ) for all of my friends. It required as usual some searching to locate the relatively rare shrubs of this species
