I accompanied Bob Rudd to this locality on the Pt. Reyes Peninsula west of the entrance to Drake's Estero. Beach sand has closed the outlet of a small watershed area forming a small freshwater lagoon surrounded by marshy vegetation. The surrounding hills are grass- covered and are grazed to a moderate extent by cattle. Some of the steeper slopes bear brush patches but the crests are bald (i.e., grassy). Outward from the Sarcopus (± 8 ft tall) were round-stemmed rushes perhaps a foot high (? bulb rush reproduction?) not in clumps. On drier ground were clumps of Juncus and grasses.
