Collection notes
Made five Carex collections along this hike, but got mixed up when it came to press them. The two 4500 collections (A and B) are almost certainly the first plants collected, at ____. But then it gets a little more confused. One collection (probably 4501) comes from ~25m further along the path, then two shorter ones (probably 4502 and 4503) from ~500m further on (under tall Pseudotsuga on gentle slope with Moerhingia and Hieracium albiflora), and then another (probably 4505) between there and the washed-out bridge over the creek.
