thimbleberry {Rubus deliciosus), alder, 

 dogwood, rose and hazel are the most 

 noticeable woody plants aside from 

 the coniferous trees. The pines occur 

 almost everywhere, spruces and cedars 

 in moist places and junipers only on 

 dry hillsides. 



Although one can thus mention a 

 large number of deciduous trees and 

 shrubs they have very little influence 

 in determining the appearance of the 

 landscape, except late in the season, 

 when their brilliant autumnal colors 

 enforce our attention to them. The 

 dominant woody plants are certainly 

 conifers. They stamp their individu- 

 ality upon the entire plant community. 



It may seem strange that no men- 

 tion has been made thus far of mosses, 

 liverworts and ferns. These plants are 

 represented by only a very few species 

 and comparatively few individuals.
