The Flora of the PCT
B4, Chihuahua Valley Road / Lost Valley Road - Tule Canyon Truck Trail: Family Order Flora

See The Flora of the PCT: B4, Chihuahua Valley Road / Lost Valley Road - Tule Canyon Truck Trail for an introduction to this checklist.

This version of the Checklist gives the plant species from the trail in plant family order, with the Family and Scientific Name from the 2012 Second Edition Jepson Manual.

See Information about the order in which the species are presented, and the links from the Scientific Name and Common Name.

The column ID indicates whether the species determination has any uncertainty associated with it, ranging from ~, a likely but not certain determination; or sp, just a guess as to the correct species.

The #Trl gives the order in which each species was encountered in the Trail Order List. A FC in that column indicates a species photographed by Fred Melgert and Carla Hoegen. A V in that column indicates a species vouchered from the trail that we have not yet observed.

An asterisk before the common name indicates a non-native species.
