The taste is slightly acid + much superior to the same fruit in S. E. Alaska. After flowering the sepals clasp the fruit tightly + remain so until the berry is fully ripe when they again open out as they did in flowering. If allowed to get too ripe the fruit loses in flavor + turns a light yellow in color. Rubus chamaemorus L. " 150 Saxifraga reflexa, Hook. Rocky slopes + bluffs L.

The tundra about a great part of Lake Iliamna particularly the ^N west shore, while apparently treeless, is found on a closer examination to be fairly well dotted with this species in a perfectly prostrate form. The trees or rather saplings do not form cones at present but I think it is only a question of time until cone-forming individuals get a footing and the species becomes well established about the Lake. At present it has become fairly well established in the east side and about halfway down the west side. Picea canadensis (Mill.) B.S.P. [[end page]]
