Plant Checklist For Willow Creek Trail
Between Hidden Lake Divide and Laws Connector Trail, San Jacinto Mountains

This is a plant checklist in traditional family order for the plants in the vicinity of the segment of the Willow Creek Trail that is between Hidden Lake Divide and the Laws Connector Trail. There currently is no plant trail guide for this section; only this family order flora.

This checklist was compiled from just two trips on this segment of trail, on 30 August 2007 and 3 July 2018, both by only Tom Chester.

The following gives some basic information about this checklist.

See:

• Notes on the Scientific Names Used At This Site and
• Information about the links from the Scientific Name and Common Name.

An asterisk before the common name indicates a non-native species.

The column labeled #Pls gives the number of plants of each species that occur within a short distance from the trail as of 6 July 2018. The number is a minimum estimate of the number of plants, up to a maximum of 99 plants.
