Sunday, May 13, 1951

A very strenuous day. Back to station on Ala 69. Then over a
long dirt road via Trade to Arley to Addison. Ala 112 & 5
to Russellville for the night. Finally found plenty of alabamense —
at least the canescens phase — in completely full bloom. Winston
Co. is certainly the center. On 122 & the Sipsey river the hills are
covered as far as you can see. None here, though of this low & very
glandular form. A few plants only in Cullman Co. Some day
should try & find this, as it must be, in quantity somewhere by
itself. Arrived at Russellville (the nearest cabins) very late
& did not get to bed until nearly midnight.
