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.
