1946 9 August 18 -continued bearing yellow berries (instead of the normal corral-colored ones); but I found several. I plan to visit this area tomorrow and will have more to record about buffalo-berries; also will make a list of the floodplain flora to compare with and to supplement other habitat areas. Eustoma russelianum (Eustroma is a genus separated recently -say 50 years -from the gentians) is present and blooming in good numbers. It is a beautiful flower, opening straight, terminal on stalks one to two feet high, 2 dozen to a plant; the blossom 2 ½ inches in diameter, sky-blue grading into violet, with purple and golden center. But of the thousand flowers at which I glanced, not one was perfect; more grasshopper destruction. Two lovely spikes of hacineria sp., the so-called "blazing star"; which I collected and pressed. Plants 2 ½ feet high. (Lavender-purple in not a blazing color; wrong end of the spectrum.
