Flora of Fallbrook Gird Valley Preserve Area

This is a list of species observed on 3/12/15 and on 3/16/15. Note that some species need further work to be certain of their determination; these species are marked in the ID? column with the usual qualifiers.

We found one other species not present in the checklist, since it is not yet identified, an unknown annual thought at first to be like torilis.

We haven't yet thoroughly surveyed all the vegetation types in the Vegetation Map done by Julie Fontaine of Trestles Environmental Corporation; see the route we covered on 3/12/15, and the additional routes surveyed on 3/16/15 (the tiny flags in the last link mostly show the first location of each species).

The column #Pls gives the estimated minimum abundance of each species observed on 3/12/15 and on 3/16/15, up to a maximum of 99 plants.
