Ok so I am back from the field today and it was much better then yesterday. I did not get as many cuts today as I did yesterday, but my toes are still a little sore. Climbing steep slopes can do that to you you know. Anyway I didn't even look at Gallium , but I looked at this little parasitic plant called Orobanche valida spp. valida , the common nakme is big rock broom rape. Its a tiny purple plant that is REALLY hard to find. But I enjoyed my time out in the field, and it was a nice change from databasing. Yucca whipplei and Quercus berberidifolia were seriously evil with me, and cut me up the most. :(
Ok I am tired now, I think I deserve a nap. Will write more tomorrow.
