Checklist

Introduction

This checklist is a start at a true flora of the Ocotillo / South Coyote Mountains Area.

The vouchered species on this checklist come from a search on 22 December 2010 of the Consortium of California Herbaria.
The Consortium records were searched for vouchers with coordinates between 32.74 and 32.83° N. Latitude, and -115.93 and -116.10 E. Longitude. Additional searches were made for vouchers from Imperial County with the term Ocotillo, Coyote, Painted or Plaster in their locality field.
Localities of those vouchers were examined and ones not definitely in the target area were eliminated. A total of 116 vouchers were out of area, with 767 of those from the Banner and Banner Grade area.
Vouchers determined just to genus, or vouchers with determinations not likely to be in this area were also eliminated.
The final voucher list contained 1005 vouchers of 221 taxa. Adding together all the vouchers associated with a given collector name produces the following list of top individual collectors, with a small break between these collectors and the next most frequent collector:

# Vouchers % Vouchers Collector
143 14% A. C. Sanders
79 8% Jon P. Rebman, Adrienne Russell
47 5% Roxana S. Ferris, Ruth P. Rossbach
46 5% Jim Andre, T. La Doux
44 4% Duffie Clemons, Erik Jonsson

1005 100% All Collectors

There was a break between the above collector names and the next one, who had 37 vouchers.

Checklist for Ocotillo / Coyote Mountains Area

The Checklist is sorted first by category - dicots, monocots, and ferns - and then by family and scientific name. The Family and Scientific Name are from the Jepson Manual 1996 First Edition.
The column titled #V gives the number of vouchers found for this area.
The column titled #BD gives the number of survey areas and floras in the Borrego Desert to the northwest in which each taxon was found.
Voucher locations for any taxon can be obtained by searching the Consortium of California Herbaria for the taxon name.
