Cogswell 1949 Ensatura eschscholtzii Aug. 25 1 mi. S. Coyote Road, 3200 ft. Humboldt Co., Calif. about 11:00pm I found one (= 66 ) individual of this species under the moist, moss covered bank on a large fallen Douglas fir in forest of some trees on NE facing slope. This is apparently practically virgin forest, with many large trees & sparsely intermediate a few small ones. There is a scattered undergrowth of tall Cornus nuttallii, Lithocarpus densiflora, & in the nearby slight ravine, Corylus rostrata & Allen infundibulum circinatum. See also note of Murray & Sullion. The site of collection is about 1/2 mi. up slope from the headwaters of a branch of Little Pine Creek, but Sullion saw the bed of its stream & said it was dry at this point. Douglas fir forest extends unbroken from here to the Klamath River, and via a few stringers of forest across this ridge it connects with similar forest (+ Redwood) along Redwood Creek.
