Continue north about mile through two pastures to a group of large rocks located in the south-central part of the second pasture. Photopoint is north of the adjacent irriga- tion canal and hayfield and west of a natural drainage area. Description September 22, 1999 Upland Grasses. Agropyron smithii, Stipa comata. Stipa viridula. Bromus japonicus Forbs. Melilotus officinalis, Lesquella spp., Psoralea tenuiflora, Grindelia squamosa, Vicia americana. Synopsis Earlier photos indicate heavy grazing. However, 1998 photos reveal grazing intensity had been dramatically reduced, resulting in a grass-dominant complex of Agropyron smithii, Stipa comata, and Stipa viridula. Furthermore, the position of the large rocks has remained constant, but an abundance of Melilotus officinalis in 1999 caused their presence to be less conspicuous because of the taller vegetation. 55.
