the Thoreau Log.
29 August 1857. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—To Owl-Nest Swamp with C.

  Gerardia tenuifolia, a new plant to Concord, apparently in prime, at entrance to Owl-Nest Path and generally in that neighborhood. Also on Conantum height above orchard, two or three days later. This species grows on dry ground, or higher than the purpurea, and is more delicate . . .

(Journal, 10:17-18)
