May 18 east.
Then we went to Pine Hill which is a little W of N J Rescue. We climbed to the top which is at ~2000 ft. Several endemic plants occur there. We also hauled on top.
Saw Microtus signus near the top and then we also saw another endemism with abundant Neostoma hopping.
From here we went to Single Spring (~5 mi S Pine Hill) to see Castelogia stellinsii, a morning glory named for Stellins and occurring only in the Pine Hill area (2 localities).
From there we continued S. to Latrobe and on to Iowa.
Just S of Iowa when looking 49 meets 88 we stopped to examine another littoral island. This time on an Escora (Ione Formation) marine beach deposit. Soil is sandy + very low fertility. Endemics include Aretostaphylos mertiolis which occurs in almost four stands. & styles better spots A m. replaced by A. miles. Other endemics are a buckbush, and a pleasant aromatic gentian (H....). Also occurring there is Agrostis sandingii which is disjunct from other populations occurring on coastal San Diego Co., at low like altitude populations which are totally a different species. Only normal signs seen was Sylvilegus hopping, & Microtus (manyup + 1 individual seen) near the northeast.
Left first locality ~1700 & continued to Beverly via Looking 12 to Lodi and on to Fairfield.
