Vol.1] Hall. — Botanical Survey of San Jacinto Mountain. 5 



Collections Made by Others. 



A number of other botanists have visited the mountain from 

 time to time and made more or less extensive collections. Mr. 

 S. B. Parish, of San Bernardino, the first of these, made collec- 

 tions there in 1879 and again in 1880, 1881, and 1882; on the first 

 and third trips spending about a week each time and visiting 

 Strawberry and Tahquitz Valleys, the other times passing through 

 Strawberry and Thomas Valleys en route to the regions lying- 

 farther south. On these trips a number of new species of plants 

 were brought to light by this diligent botanist, Euonynms Par- 

 ishii and Eriogonuni apiculatum being the most noteworthy. 



Dr. H. E. Hasse, of Soldiers Home, was on the mountain 

 for a week in July of 1894, botanizing from Strawberry Valley 

 at least as far up as the Tahquitz Meadows. In 1896 Dr. A. A. 

 Davidson, of Los Angeles, spent some weeks collecting and tak- 

 ing notes in the vicinity of Strawberry Valley and also along the 

 trail to the summit of the main i)eak, and Mr. George F. Rein- 

 hardt made a collection of San Jacinto plants in June, 1897, for 

 the University of California. Mr. A. W. Anthony has also done 

 some collecting in this region. 



In May, 1901, Professor W. L. Jepson spent several days on 

 the mountain botanizing around the south and east sides, and 

 small collections were also made in this year by Mrs. F. C. R. 

 Price and by Mr. O. P. Medsger. 



The only papers dealing in any way with the flora of San 

 Jacinto Mountain are two reports on the San Jacinto Forest 

 Reserve,* prepared by Mr. J. B. Leiberg, after having inspected 

 the condition of the forests in 1898. In these reports the prin- 

 cipal trees and shrubs are discussed and estimates of the amount 

 of timber of various sorts on different parts of the mountain 

 given, together with other information bearing upon the forests 

 included in the San Jacinto Reserve.
