Here the vegetation consisted of a shrubby growth, among which were several varieties of _chenopodiaceous_ plants; but the characteristic shrub was _Fremontia vermicularis_, with smaller saline shrubs growing with singular luxuriance, and in many places holding exclusive possession of the ground.

In the immediate neighborhood, the valley bottom is covered almost exclusively with chenopodiaceous shrubs, of greater luxuriance, and larger growth, than we have seen them in any preceding part of the journey.
