Introduction

This checklist combines the floras of the Foot and Walker Pass to Crime Canyon Area and the Smuggler Canyon Area in order to be more complete for the area of Fred Melgert and Carla Hoegen's Little Blair Valley Loop. It has been augmented by additional species from Fred and Carla's list, as well as iNat observations.
For pictures of plants from this area, 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 with header Famil gives the first five letters of the Family Name.
The column with label BW links to the photo gallery page for each species at Fred Melgert and Carla Hoegen's BorregoWildflowers site.
The last two columns give a rough estimate of the minimum number of plants seen in the Smuggler Canyon Area (column header #Sm) and the Foot and Walker Pass to Crime Canyon Area (column header FW), with a maximum value of 99 plants. The main intent of this column is to indicate the species for which we found very few plants.
Taxa without an entry in at least one of these columns were from vouchers, Fred and Carla's list, and/or iNat observations.
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)
