Flora of The Hub / Strawberry Creek Gorge Area, San Jacinto Mountains

Flora of The Hub / Strawberry Creek Gorge Area, San Jacinto Mountains

This flora includes most of the area easily reached from The Hub. It includes the Alvin Meadow area, and Strawberry Creek Gorge (known locally as The Grotto)
It does not include the Chimney Flats Road below the intersection of 5S06 and 5S13, which has a separate flora.
This plant checklist was from the following surveys:

8 June 2011 by Tom Chester and Dave Stith, of 1.8 unique miles from The Hub to the Grotto, augmented by a few species found on an earlier trip by Dave.
15 July 2011 by Tom Chester and Dave Stith, from The Hub to the Grotto.
28 May 2013 by Tom Chester, Dave Stith and Adrienne Ballwey, from The Hub to the Grotto.
2 October 2018 by Tom Chester, Nancy Accola and Don Rideout, a 2.1 mile rectangular loop to the northwest of The Hub, consisting of portions of 5S13, 5S06, and 5S24.
6 October 2018 by Tom Chester, Kate Harper and Done Rideout, of 2.4 unique miles in a loop around and through Alvin Meadow.
11 October 2018 by Tom Chester, Nancy Accola, Don Rideout, and Bruce Watts.
14 May 2019 by Tom Chester, Nancy Accola, Deborah Burroughs, and Don Rideout, of the post-burn Grotto area.

The following gives some basic information about this checklist.

We thank Jane Strong for correctly identifying the Barbarea orthoceras, and Andy Sanders for confirming that identification, even though the plants here differ from the descriptions in the floras in a number of ways, including the maximum height of the plants, the shape of some of the leaves, and the length of the petals and fruit. Some of these plants are much more robust than we've seen elsewhere.
