Summary
is a striking light green color. Also
occurs below 3500 ft on N. slope just
above cliffs where Mt. drops off

willow thickets in Calif.: consists of
tall brushes, dense spreading shrubs,
ferns & tangles of vine. Grass around
edges. This occurs on north rim
of summit of highest ridge &
down into canyon there marked on

in the deep canyon east & below the
hacienda. A deep virgin oak forest is on
