Flora of Lake Calavera and the Calavera Heights Preserves
James Dillane This checklist covers the vascular plants of the Lake Calavera and the Calavera Heights preserves, both in northeastern Carlsbad, California. Several species were contributed by Tom Chester and Wayne Armstrong. It is not complete. I am still finding additional species on most visits; the canyon area below the dam is largely un-sampled and the aquatic flora of the lake has not been investigated at all. Non-native plants confined to the urban margins have been largely excluded and no attempt has been made to include species planted as part of the mitigation projects, most of which were already present.
The non-native tree Fraxinus uhdei has not been observed in the preserve but occurs just upstream in Oak Riparian Park and is expected in the dense riparian woodland downstream. Two other listed species, lance-leaf willow, Salix lucida ssp. lasiandra, and broad-leaved cattail, Typha latifolia, have not been observed but are noted in the Lake Calavera Trails Biological Resources Report. In each case their similarity to another species may have helped them to escape my notice.
The area supports a number of sensitive species. These are listed in Table 1 with their CNPS list status.

Plant Checklist For Lake Calavera and the Calavera Heights Preserves
The Checklist is sorted first by category - ferns, dicots, and monocots - and then by family and scientific name. The Family and Scientific Name are from the 1993 Jepson Manual. An asterisk (*) after the Scientific Name indicates a non-native taxon, and a ~ in the name indicates some uncertainty in the identification.
