Partial Flora of the Eastern San Gabriel Mountains
by Dick Swinney Even though the San Gabriel Mountains are immediately next to one of the most populous areas in California, no one has yet produced a flora for that range. Hence in 1989 I began a long-term project to document its flora.
Vouchers were collected every year from 1989 to 2001, typically from field days during the three month summer vacation from my regular job as a schoolteacher. No vouchers were collected in 2003-2004, when I turned my attention to documenting the insects of Glendora. I plan to resume this project in Spring 2005, and estimate that I have another two years of collection before I will have covered the range fairly thoroughly.
Because a number of people are interested in the flora, I present here a preliminary checklist from those vouchers processed so far. This is a partial list, and will be augmented in the course of further work. In particular, the following list of taxa has been compiled from only ~70% of the voucher specimens collected, the ones vouchered through 1997. Vouchers from 1998 - 2001 have not yet been processed by UCR, and are not included here.
This list will be useful in alerting people to what I have found and documented. This list cannot be used to infer what I did not observe since ~30% of the collected vouchers have yet to be processed, and there are areas of the San Gabriel Mountains that I have not yet covered. For example, laurel sumac, Malosma laurina, does not yet appear on this list, although it will when the list is complete.
The plant species for my Plants of the Glendora Foothills are not included here in this partial checklist; that checklist will soon be posted as a separate work.
Two copies of each voucher number have been deposited in the UCR Herbarium. All labels are made at UCR. UCR forwards one copy of each label to the RSA Herbarium and one to myself. If three specimens of each voucher number can be collected, the third copy is eventually sent to RSA.
Andy Sanders reviewed most of the vouchers, with help primarily from G.K. Helmkamp. Other reviewers of more than one voucher include Mark Hershkovitz, Mark S. Brunell, Mitch Provance, S.D. White, and Steve Boyd. Single vouchers were occasionally sent to experts for review; I thank James C. Hickman, James L. Reveal, Gillian Schultz, J.L. Strother, and T.B. Salvato for their help.
The checklist presented here was compiled by Tom Chester from the UCR digital database. This compilation was made possible by the foresight of Andy Sanders to digitize the UCR herbarium collection. I thank both of them for their assistance in producing this list.
Geographic Coverage My collection area was delineated:
- on the east by Cajon Pass; specifically, both side of Cajon Wash.
- on the north by the base of the mountain slope, extending just a ways into that slope. Baldy Mesa was included; the ridge through Phelan Peak was one boundary.
- on the west, I include the upper portion of Little Rock Creek; Twin Peaks; and Fish Canyon in Duarte.
- on the south, by the base of the mountain slope, avoiding urban areas but including areas such as the South Hills in Glendora.
To give an idea of the areas covered, the following plot shows the locations of the 58 vouchers with geographic coordinates. This is only a small fraction of the 1,675 vouchers used as the basis of this checklist.
Summary of the Checklist The checklist was made by searching the UCR database for all vouchers in Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties collected by myself. Of those 1,890 vouchers, 16 were not in the San Gabriel Mountains, so were not considered further. Of the remaining vouchers, 41 vouchers, from 25 genera, could only be identified to the genus level. They were not considered further, except to note that two genera were among them for which there were no vouchers identified to species. Those two genera were Aster and Lemna.
Of the remaining vouchers, 158, from 53 species, were identified only to the species level, and also had vouchers further identified to the subspecies or variety level. These vouchers were not included in the table below.
This process left 1,675 vouchers, from 758 taxa.
The following table summarizes the above information:
Category # Vouchers # Taxa Not in SnGb 16 Genus only 41 25 Species only, with vouchers identified to ssp or var 158 53 Fully-identified taxa 1,675 758 Total Swinney L.A. / S.B. vouchers 1,890 760
Preliminary Checklist of Vascular Flora of the Eastern San Gabriel Mountains The Latin Names in this list conform to those given in the Jepson Manual. For a small number of taxa, Tom Chester converted the names used at UCR to those used in the Jepson Manual. See the list of changes.
The common names here were taken from the Chester and Strong database in order to place this online as rapidly as possible.
