flowering reported by Carlos Martin. Some dozens of
clemfis bloomed this year or last in the field/
barrow scrub between the Parking lot and Soap
Gathering (at numerous places in the first couple
of km). As on the road to Sam Martin, many of the
clemfis have this-year shoots and many of these

others flowered this year more completely dead,
straw-colored. Others grey, probably last year or
