What is the class on that river??
 
that portion of the river is actually lake. there is a dam several miles down the river from where i was. at though where i was at was on the upper reaches and was mainly around 35 feet deep.......IIRC it wasnt that rough of a sectio of the river when Lewis and Clark went through
 
alright, i believe its called Kelsey's "moss" and was discovered by Francis Duncan Kelsey sometime between 1885 and 1893............but thats only if i got the right guy.....anyone else able to figure it out. the dang plant is in none of my wildflower books i cant find anything on the web...........the stuff was everywhere on the limestone in that canyon........
 
thats on the couch next to me at the moment.......its not in there........... :grin:
 
Looks like a sedum to me.
 
i am 110% sure its not a sedum........had my hands on the plant, inspected it up close.....defiantly not a sedum.........
