Plant Checklist for Fish Creek Area, San Bernardino Mountains
Introduction This page lists all the species found in the Aspen Grove / Fish Creek Trail and Upper Fish Creek Trail plant trail guides, as well as from vouchers from this area. The vouchers were obtained from a geographic coordinate search of the Consortium of California Herbaria on 1 July 2013.
Checklist for Fish Creek Area 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 First Edition Jepson Manual. An asterisk before the Common Name would indicate a non-native taxon, but all of the taxa found so far here are native, an amazing rarity in southern California.
The column FC gives the number of the species in the plant trail guide for the Fish Creek Trail. A value of 999 means the species was found only off-trail, without a number in the guide.
The column UFC gives the number of the species in the plant trail guide for the Upper Fish Creek Trail.
The column #V gives the number of vouchers of each taxon found in the Consortium Search.
This is a working list, about which I make no guarantees at all. Use at your own risk!
