I have noted the only two patches of grass found during the 'jornada. There were scattered, at wide intervals, the Palafoxia linearis, Atriplex, Encelia farinosa, Daleas, Euphorbias, and a Simsia, described by Dr. Torrey as a new species.
Heavy snow on the col about a league with the wreaths in many places higher than the carriage. Then, white crocus all over the fields, with Soldanelle and Primula farinosa.
In Cumberland, the Primula farinosa, commonly known as bird's-eye, is called by children "bird-een." "The lockety-gowan and bonny bird-een Are the fairest flowers that ever were seen." And in many places the Leontodon taraxacum is designated "blow-ball," because children blow the ripe fruit from the receptacle to tell the time of day and for various purposes of divination.
