Summary
Album caption and index card: Many of the redbuds appear dead in the photograph; however, since this photograph was taken many plants have been periodically observed to have progressively recovered. Many herbaceous plants now grow within the old scour zone, including scouring rush, watercress, and monkey flower. These plants were reported at Vaseys Paradise by Clover and Jotter (1944) in 1948 and were probably among those plants seen in the 1923 photograph (photo no. 30). Saltcedar (right foreground ) is now established on the gravel bar near the camera station. Colorado River. Grand Canyon National Park. Coconino County, Arizona. March 17, 1974. Published as Figure 41-B in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1132. 1980.
