teretifolium grew there on the serpentine rock.  I determined that when the
plant was again in flower, the trip would have to be taken.  It was about
1 o'clock when I left home and took the electric cars for Mt. Washington.
The conductor let me off at a pretty foot-path just beyond the station.  The
path led to a little bridge and then up the hillside to a pretty avenue.
<s>Following this avenue</s> This avenue crossed the hill and led into a broad
avenue near the foot of the hill.  This broad avenue led due north and to the copper mine in the
hills.  There was nothing especially interesting along this road so I hastened onward
and in the course of half a hour was at the mine.  As no rocks were visible.
I began to make inquiry regarding these and finally, after going completely
across the "Hills" found them along Falls R'd.  The surface of these rocks is weathered
in different stages of fineness.  Where finely weathered it is covered with thick
growth of grass and various herbs; but the coarsely weathered rock is almost bare.
Here, however, Talinum delights to grow. It with its thick fleshy root and
succulent leaves is well prepared to withstand any  amount of drouth. I 
had been searching for the plant for quite a while, but in the pleasure expressed
in finding it I was well repaid.  The plant had already fruited.
Returned home by way of Falls Rd.

My trip was made mainly to find Sporogyra, so I kept to the lower ground between
