Du Val, E.H. 2003 Journal Isla San Jose, Chiriqui Prov., Panama 7 May cont. N <--- E S W gentle gully sandy beach steep gully rocky beach cut off from the rest of San Jose at very high tides. many partially-submerged rocks = 2 unBDH's seen in understory ---- = our route I noted a Panama Flycatcher in the understory, but saw no nests, manakin or otherwise, on our brief time there. at ~5:00pm. It seemed like it might rain^, but did not. We did paperwork in the evening and Julie gave me a plant sample from nest 1- to sketch - it's not one of the typical 3 species, but looks very similar to the plant we've nicknamed "species 3" for years (because I keep forgetting to look up the scientific name in Berkeley). Leaves are alternate with short petioles, rippling along the edge, and have a smooth, darkish green surface. The new plant also has ridges along the leaf edges (very fine) where "species 3" plants have a smooth edge. Where "species 3" leaves smell like fresh-cut grass when crushed, this new species had a tangy smell that was somewhat stronger. See back of this sheet for sketch.
