1954 10 Angel Island, Marin County, Calif. May 30 Trip with Don Isaac and Jack Russell. Contracted with a man at Tiburon to bring us over today and pick us up tomorrow noon. Arrived at Hospital Cove a little before 11:00AM and were taken by the State Park Ranger (Allison) to the army post to sign in. We walked back from Ft. Mac Dowell to Hospital Cove on the dirt fire road, Isaac and Russell taking the south half of the loop and me the north. I turned over a number of rocks and boards and found only a single Geranium crenatum under a board. Russell & Isaac got a couple of Geraniums, a Lupinus occidentalis and a few Batrachyga alternata. They also saw a Caliber constricus. In the early afternoon I walked on the paved road north and east of Hospital Cove. A large Thermopsis calcarata tenacita and another Geranium were taken. Also in the afternoon a large number of Batrachyga were taken on the north side of Stuart Point. Coastal scrub, chaparral and broad-leaved shrubbery forest as all represented on the island. The best stand of forest I have seen is on the north side of Stuart Point, where large bay and coast live oaks form a continuous canopy 30' high over an area of several acres. There is no shrub layer, but well-developed herbs. This formation seems scanty and patchy where I have seen it on other parts of the island. There are many Arbutus and a few Rhamnus present. Both "wet" (Boucheri) and "dry" chaparral are seen. Northeast of Hospital Cove there are several good stands of Adenostoma - Conothamnus chaparral. Boucheria pilulifera forms a true chaparral stand on some open hillside, but is also prominent on
