Flora of the Skyline Trail, Puente Hills, Los Angeles County

Bob Muns, 1982

Bloom periods have been added by Tom Chester.

Some species that were only identified to the genus in the printed 1982 version, have been listed with a species name from Whittier Hills Flora by Julie A. Schneider Ljubenkov and Timothy S. Ross, 2001. This has been done only when there is no ambiguity. Such species are marked with a ^ after their Latin name. Hence to restore this web version to the printed version, simply replace the specific epithet (the "species name") with sp..

Version for printing, without lines and other text on this page: html (7 pages) or pdf Clickbook booklet (2 double-sided pages). (See printing instructions for an explanation of these options)
