Also he has seen them eat Solanum portulatum, which is very freshly. Stands of 2 (39) contained many seeds Sol. norti & Amaranthus (greasyans?). // Some stands surrounded by B. Aristida, Bda - Bgr outside of this. One area close to water for big trough & windmill, heavy use by cattle & little but occasional Amaranthus, Sol. norti, Polygonum, Chenopodium, Euphobia (geyeri?).

Large plants Prolosceida levisiana often grew at edge of clearing. // One md. had large plant of prostrate Cusparium // N.
