Patelka 1947 24 Oct. 15 6 1/2 mi ESE Tule Pk, 4500 ft, Virginia Mts., Washoe Co., Nev. South of Gerlach, we followed route 34. Along the east side of that route, from the mountains just east of Gerlach, south to Kummia Pk., there is a sparse juniper woodland along the crest of the mountains (Selenite Range). Along the west side of route 34, beyond a large, north-south running un-vegetated flat, occur the upper mountains of the Lake Range; these also have a juniper woodland. On neither ranges, however, is there much water, and under the cloudy sky conditions and because of distance, I could not be sure if any suitable stream-border areas occurred. As far as I could tell, none occurred. Along route 34, at the southern end of the Selenite Range, we passed over a ridge, with the mountains to the east i.e., apparently a spur of the Lake Range, bare of woodland. South of this ridge we passed along the west side of the Winnemucca Lake bed, and the Nightingale Range to the east as well as the Lake Range to the west were bare of woodland except for a small area along the crest of the latter range, apparently to the south of Tobakum Peak. The mountains just south of Pyramid Lake (Virginia Mts.) are covered with a scattered juniper woodland.
