    Please help me in confirming ID the following. From a hike last week at Cypress mountain

    From left to right:
    1.My best guess is copperbush (Cladothamnus pyroliflorus)

    2.five leaved bramble (Rubus pedatus)

    3. black huckleberry (Vaccinium membranaceum) base on it being the only Vaccinium in Pojar & Mackinnon to have its leaved described as "red to purple in the fall". Its got to be a Vaccinium, as I ate some of the blueberries, but unfortunately didn't take a photo.

    4.Star-flowered false Solomon's seal (Smilacina stellata) Guessing this based on what I saw in the lily section of Pojar & Mackinnon, but it can also be false solomon's seal (Smilacina racemosa) or rosy twistedstalk (Streptopus roseus)

    Yes to copper bush (this was moved into Elliottia at one point). Black huckleberry is told by the black fruits and membranous, pointy leaves. The last is Veratrum.
