Description:
Old Woman Springs - This is a good-looking oasis with alfalfa, a few orchard trees, a fig tree, old & large. We are headed for Twenty-nine Palms and as there is a long stretch ahead without stations we stop here at noon to rest over night and give the animals a good feed. The owners are Charles Martin & Swarthout. Martin is a fine-looking type of frontier cattleman, sixty years old with iron-gray hair. He rides a good horse, wears a broad-brimmed hat, a revolver rests in plain view in his cartridge belt. Swarthout has a refined speech and the manners of a gentleman. "Martin has killed his man and has been in San Quentin." - J. H. Manson ::::::::: May 13, 1914. alt. 3186 ft. No. 5946. Mohavea viscida Gray. Corolla as if with 2 petals an upper and a lower, both penciled with fine dots in lines on a pale yellow or rather pale cream ground. Upper lip 2-lobed, the lower shallowly 3-lobed.

Lower lip with strongly inflated palate and a central elevated yellow crest with is slightly [ or better] short hairy and has a depression either side of it.
