VASCULAR PLANTS OF NORTH DAKOTA 431 
666. Lathyrus venosus Muhl.; Willd’ Sp. Pl. 3: 1092. (1803). 
Devils Lake, Turtle Mountains. Fourteen years I found this 
plant occupving a plot of about an acre surface capacity on the 
Devils Lake ground. It was supported by some invisible shrubbery 
raising it several feet above the level, with the apparent exclusion 
of all other plant life. It looked like a hill composed of flowers in 
myriads. In all my life I have seen nothing as beautiful. Chatauqua 
colonization, incessant smoke from gasoline engines and domestic 
animal visitation wiped out all this splendor, not as fast as fire 
would, but more thoroughly. Nature is exclusive, the more so to 
those not appreciating her loveliness, and she withdraws her most 
exquisite grandeur in the presence of unfriendly man.
