When I first read the field notes of Annie Alexander and Louise Kellogg, I was fascinated by the descriptions they wrote about the places they went and the plants and animals they found there. By publishing my field notes on the Internet I hope to follow a little bit in their tradition. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Access and permission to collect courtesy of Nord Resources, Inc. There are two barberrys in Cochise County, B. haematocarpa and B. wilcoxii. I'm thinking this one is B. haematocarpa based upon the narrow aspect of the leaves relative to the length, and the elevation and habitat. Collection discarded.

Found on the edge of an area that burned July 26-27, 2010. Coll. No. 749, 16 Jan 2012, characters observed while keying: Annual to 15 cm; Stem light-colored (dark when dry); Leaves to 10 cm, linear, pinnately lobed; Floral bracts 3 to 5-toothed, white base, green margin, not concealing fruit; Petals yellow, orange at base; Style 2 mm; Fruit 8 mm x 2-3 mm wide, not curved; Seeds in more than one row above the mid-fruit; Elevation 2100 m. Originally determined as Mentzelia albicaulis. However, using Brokaw (2011), keys to M. montana because floral bracts have 3-5 teeth, the relatively small white patch on the floral bracts, and the relatively small (8-10 mm), straight fruit.

Mimulus nanus Hook. & Arn. var. nanus. Dwarf Purple Monkey Flower.
| Pumice Valley, Mono County, California. Pumice flats near the north end of Mono Craters, just south of California Highway 120 on Inyo Forest Road 1N11, 3 miles northeast of US Highway 395. 37.9047°N, 119.0437°W. WGS 1984. Elev. 6885 ft. Found on the edge of an area that burned July 26-27, 2010. Most collections at this locality are determined as var. mephiticus, but short lengths of hairs on leaves and calyces of this collection are strongly suggestive of var. nanus. Coll. No. 750, 16 Jan 2012, characters observed while keying: Annual 4-5 cm; Flower nodes with 2 flowers; Leaves puberulent, tip rounded, gland tipped hairs 0.1-0.2 mm mostly along margins; Pedicel 2-3 mm; Calyx 7 mm., gland tipped hairs 0.1-0.2 mm; Corolla bilateral, tube throat 12-15 mm., externally glabrous; Anthers ciliate; Stigma at end of corolla tube throat, > stamens, edges ciliate; Fruit fragile (definitely not hard).

Lupinus duranii Eastw. Mono Lake Lupine.
| Pumice Valley, Mono County, California. West base of Mono Craters at end of Inyo Forest Road 1S18, 4 air miles east of the south intersection of US Highway 395 and California Highway 120. 37.8832°N, 119.018°W. WGS 1984. Elev. 2287 m. Open volcanic sand flats with a significant western exposure may account for the relatively small dimensions of this collection.
Originally assumed to be L. duranii when collected. Could be determined as L. breweri on the basis of smaller stipules, petioles, pedicels and flowers than typically seen in L. duranii. However, given the west-facing sand slope on which this collection was made, I am assuming it is just a small L. duranii.
