The patch of woods is at ~ ft. el. and is very similar in appearance to the C. cochleatum locality. Apparently there is a large stony forest of mixed madrone-pine which the road cuts through. In general along the road the madrone seems to go up to the fog line & into it occasionally, as was apparently the case here. The woods looked like they were cleared near the road a long time ago - maybe 50-100 years. The logs were frequently very rotten, a good boule was at a premium.

However, the other 1/2-striped phase was also present. No Chirgys were found, I just don't know why. We worked for a good hour then moved on. We stopped very briefly (~3 minutes) at a high plateau field, then went on to San Mateo, where
