"Struck a hammock
near Colwell's. We spent
a little time in it.
Got E. rigidum, a new
one for us. It grew
much as others do.
Cochlearia was abundant,
in flower and fruit.
Temperatures saw but one or two.
Polypodium phyllitidis
was stiff, a more lovely.
It grows on humus, often
on bases of trees & stumps,
tendered very high up.
Astragalus was common,
growing mostly in the little sink holes.
I got to be very large,
and trunks 6 m. tall.
Think I got another,
like the one Mr. A."
