Flora of Sawmill Road / Stone Creek Trail Area of Dark Canyon, San Jacinto Mountains

See Information about the order in which the species are presented, and the links from the Scientific Name and Common Name.

This flora comes from seven surveys of the Stone Creek Trail and Sawmill Road area, although only three of the surveys were full-blown plant surveys for all species:

Note that none of these surveys were done during prime time in a good year, so the flora is undoubtedly incomplete for some annuals and perennials.

In addition, Bruce Watts did a Pyrola picta flower check of Lower Sawmill Road on 6 July 2015, and a Lilium parryi survey of the Lowermost Sawmill Road on 4 July 2016.

The column #Pls is the minimum number of plants seen from a union of all surveys. If there is a qualifier in front of the number, the species assignment is uncertain.
