Flora of Whale Peak / Pinyon Mountain Valley Area, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park


Introduction
Checklist


Introduction

Intro is out of date; list now comes from fieldwork on 19 April 2012.

This checklist is compiled from vouchers taken in the area above 3000 feet elevation in the Whale Peak / Pinyon Mountain Road Area, along with a list of plants compiled from memory from a single trip on 4 June 2011.

The vouchers come from a search on 6 June 2011 of the Consortium of California Herbaria.

The Consortium records were searched for vouchers with coordinates between 33.00 and 33.07° N. Latitude, and -116.39 and -116.26 E. Longitude. This search returned 511 vouchers of 213 taxa after tossing ones not in the target area, which were all in nearby areas just below 3000 feet elevation.

551 vouchers were found of 213 taxa. Two sets of collectors were responsible for 383 (59%) of those vouchers: 217 by Jon P. Rebman, Mike Simpson and Mike Mayer, including some taken by subsets of those collectors; and 166 (30%) by Larry Hendrickson. The collector with the next largest number of vouchers was Frank F. Gander, with 31 (6%). There were 44 other unique sets of collector names.

The trip on 4 June 2011 was primarily to find Arabis species, with Mike Crouse, Vince Balch and Pam Pallette. Two days after the trip, a list of observed taxa was compiled by going through a plant list containing all species observed in a much larger area surrounding this area. That exercise resulted in recording 64 taxa, of which four taxa were not present in the voucher list for this area. One taxon found from that exercise was only determined to species, so resulted in another entry below.

The final checklist contains a total of 218 taxa.

Checklist for Whale Peak / Pinyon Mountain Valley Area

The Checklist is sorted first by category - dicots, monocots, and ferns - and then by family and scientific name. The Family and Scientific Name are from the 2012 Second Edition Jepson Manual.

The column Obs. indicated whether a taxon was observed on the 4 June 2011 trip.

The column #V is the number of vouchers for each taxon from the Consortium, with a maximum value of 9.
