Collomia mazama. 37 



Mazama was the aboriginal designation of the Rocky Mount 

 ain goat, and was proposed also by Rafinesque as a generic name 

 for the same animal. The name is now well known through the 

 organization of mountain-climbers called the Mazamas, who, on 

 August 21, 1896, with appropriate ceremonies, bestowed the name 

 Mount Mazama upon the mountain within whose walls Crater 

 Lake is enclosed. To this mountain and to the members of the 

 organization itself this plant is. now dedicated.
