Flora of Palm Spring / Vallecito Creek Area, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park

This is probably a very incomplete flora, compiled only from vouchers and iNat observations.

See:

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

The column #V gives the number of vouchers in this area. Due to the imprecision of the locality for some vouchers, some vouchered species may not actually be present in this area.

The column labeled #iNat gives the number of iNat observations. An "x" in this field is an obscured location taxon, so we can't get an accurate count of the number of iNat observations in this area.

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)
