Plant Checklist For Pacific Crest Trail South of SR74, San Jacinto Mountains

This is a plant checklist for the Pacific Crest Trail South of SR74 in traditional family order, with the Family and Scientific Name from the 2012 Second Edition Jepson Manual. To save space, only the first five letters of the Family name are given in the Checklist.. See also the Plant Trail Guide, with species presented in order along the trail.

See:

• Notes on the Scientific Names Used At This Site and
• Information about the order in which the species are presented, and the links from the Scientific Name and Common Name.

The column with header # gives the number of the species in that guide. Off-trail only species instead have the mile at which they are found in that column.

The column with header #Pls gives the number of plants on trail for those species. Species found only off-trail have no abundances given, and are marked by OT in that column.

Version for printing, without lines and other text on this page: html (4 pages) or pdf Clickbook booklet (1 double-sided page). (See printing instructions for an explanation of these options)
