Remarks

[“Aug. 7. . . P.M. - With a berry party, ride to Conantum. At Blackberry Steep, apparently an early broad-leafed variety of Desmodium paniculatum, two or three days. This and similar plants are common there and may almost name the place. The D. rotundifolium is there abundant; also, beside, Lespedeza hirta and capitate, the elliptic-oblong L. violacea [L. intermedia] and the angustata, as alos at Heywood Peak. All these plants seem to love a dry open hillside, a steep one.” Journal 8: 449. 1856]
