Clumps of the bayberry (Myricacarolinensis) of a dark green color break the monotonous level of theheath (Figs, i and 3). Patches of an irregular rounded form of thehuckleberry (GayJussacia resinosa) and sweet fern (Comptonia aspleni-folia) are common. A few other flowering plants relieve the flat. Fig. 3.

Some parts of Nantucket, notably the southeastern, are coveredby two low oaks, namely, the bear oak {Querciis nana) (Fig. 2), andthe dwarf chestnut oak {Quercus prinoides). In some places onNantucket and in central Marthas Vineyard, this growth of oaksand associated plants suggests the dwarf elfin wood, or chaparral, ofthe California coast. The other constituents of these low oak thicketsare the hsLyhevvy {Myrica carolinensis), sweet iern {Comptonia aspleni-folia) and the low spreading carpets of the bearberry {Arctostaphylos HARSHBERGER: AMERICAN HEATHS AND PINE
