            Staphylea bolanderi—Sierra bladdernut. "Cascadel Ranch is forty-five miles from the post-office and corner store.  The trees are so thick that one can scarcely look heavenward. The loneliness comes like a heavy pressure from all sides. People come to this region because Uncle Sam offers one hundred and sixty acres to old maids and widows and other citizens. . .  After a long stay Mr. P went down the mountain one day and we rode with him about three miles. We swung our hammocks in some small trees that grew on a high bluff where we could see out over the world once more, there to wait the return of the team at evening and look our fill for months to come. Across the gulch we saw some white flowers on a shrub and went to get them. The shrub was very graceful in shape, with gray bark, slender branches and white flowers in clusters on long greenish-white stems. The altitude was about 4,500 feet with a southwest exposure, the ground moist but not wet. Seldom does one see such a sight as the shrub presents when in full bloom."—Letter accompanying a collection from Mrs. L.A.R. Peckinpah, Cascadel Ranch, Madera County to University of California Herbarium (quoted in Erythea: Journal of Botany, West American and General, Volume 6 [1898]. pp. 93-94.)  Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
