Willow and creek dogwood (Cornus stolonifera var. califomica) are found along the intermittent streams flowing into the valley. Very few perennial grasses occur; those present are principally Idaho fescue. Indian rice (Oryzopsis hymenoides), Sandberg bluegrass, needlegrass, wheat grass, sipiirreltail, salt grass, and vyt' grass. The dominant grass types are annuals, notably cheat grass. Along the foot of the mountains on the west side of Honey Lake Basin and Long Valley, ranches are found wherever water is available for the irrigation of hay land. Alfalfa and meadow hay are grown for the winter feeding of livestock. Ranches are less numerous at the southern and eastern extremity of the winter range. The vegetative composition of the Lassen-Wash leer range based on "Jd.'! line-point plots is given in Table •>. Although the plant associations found on the Lassen-Washoe winter range are similar to those found on the Devils Garden, the vegetative composition of the two winter ranees differs considerably more than is shown by comparing the forage eomposil ion surveys I Tallies 2 and 5 . These surveys are essentially attempts to determin
