Narrative
We returned eastbound on Murphy Dome Road, turning north on Moose Mountain Road, and following it north to a gate across the road leading to a downhill ski area. We walked into the site. Except for roads and ski trails, the site was generally covered with a moderate to dense canopy of Alnus, Betula, Picea, and Salix. Vaccinium uliginosum was scattered across the summit of the ski area. The plants were nearly prostrate, seldom rising more than 10-15 cm. The crop was light and berry size small, with berries mostly being borne singly. We collected one fruit and herbarium sample (DBPH 8). Empetrum nigrum, Rubus idaeus, and Vaccinium vitis-idaea subsp. minus were scattered alongside and under the canopy along the road leading uphill to the ski area. We collected an Empetrum nigrum (DBPH 9) sample along about 1 km of road. We also collected fruit and herbarium samples from Rubus idaeus (DBPH 10) from a small colony at the head of one of the ski trails. Vaccinium vitis idaea subsp. minus was abundant throughout the site and carpeted the ski runs in some areas. Berries were abundant and of average size, but none were ripe enough to harvest for seed. This is an excellent site for Vaccinium vitis idaea subsp. minus. We returned to the Georgeson Botanic Gardens and placed the fruit and herbarium samples inside a walk-in cooler for storage during the one-week trip. During the day, the samples had been stored inside an ice chest with a block of ice.
