Willow Creek (= Tuckayoa Wash) 1/2 miles W. out 93 Interstate Highway 40, Willow Creek Ranch Manage Co., Arizona. Elevation 4680 ft.
August 14 below the level of the first cattle pastures to the south of (cont) camp, and the arroyo banks in many places are vertical.
I think I described the flora in detail last year. To summarize briefly, the dominant trees are Dodding's(?) Willow and Fremont Cottonwood, with some ash, some walnut and some desert willow & Tenerick admirad. The low slopes by the stream have a few junipers, a few small-leaf live oak, a couple small trees which have leaves that look like Holly, and a few of another small tree totally unfamiliar to me: lots of anticles on the smooth bark and leaves that look something like ash. Except for the scour vine, the forestplain understory is very thickly grown to herbaceous species, a few of which are mints, Diclis, white & yellow beefernres, a yellow flowered composite, several other unfamiliar wildfernes, a few Helianthus, a few thistle and star thistle. A few flex fences between stream level and the arroyo tops support a thin growth of wildfemres & grasses.
