| Colter and Willard set out this morning on a hunting excurtion towards the quamash grounds beyond Collins's Creek. |
| Hither also the tribes from the Rocky Mountains brought down horses, bear-grass, quamash, and other commodities of the interior. |
| In early summer the best forage is on the warm hill-sides where the quamash and the Indian turnip grow. |
| For the present, it was thought best to return to quamash flats. |
| The most popular species is Camassia esculenta, also tautologously known as Camassia quamash, which grows flower spikes to 80cm tall with blooms opening along the top 30cm. |
| Investigate the North American native bulb Camassia or quamash. |
