Flora of Baldy Mountain, San Jacinto Mountains

Jordan Zylstra and Tom Chester


Fig. 1. Map showing the Baldy Mountain area, southeast of Mountain Center and northwest of Lake Hemet, along with places where Tom has recorded species in his two surveys. Jordan's surveys have been concentrated in the area on top of Baldy Mountain, roughly shown by the circle of Tom's GPS points there. The gated Forest Service access road to the top (5S08) from SR74 traverses private property; permission is needed to use that section of the road even by foot.

Introduction

This checklist for Baldy Mountain has been compiled from four sources:

The total checklist contains 246 taxa.

The powerline road can be accessed from SR74 across from the Herkey Creek Campground, but there is space only to park a single car at its entrance. The road is fairly easy to follow, but is quite steep with very poor footing in places.

The Checklist

The following gives some basic information about this checklist.

See:

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

The column with header #Pls indicates the minimum number of plants observed by Tom Chester on 24 May 2020 and 8 June 2020, augmented by the number of plants for Githopsis diffusa from Jordan's iNat observation. Species not seen by Tom are denoted by JV if they were on Jordan's list and vouchered; JZ if they were only on Jordan's list; and V if they were only vouchered.
