The Flora of the PCT: A3 Lake Morena to Highway 80 (Boulder Creek Campground): Plant Trail Order

See The Flora of the PCT: A3 Lake Morena to Highway 80 (Boulder Creek Campground) for an introduction to this checklist.
This version of the Checklist is in order of plants along the trail, from Lake Morena to Highway 80 (Boulder Creek Campground).
The column ID? gives the uncertainty of the determination; see abbreviation for the determination uncertainties. Species that were not seen in the field survey, but which were vouchered from or near the trail, have a V in this column, and are given at the end of the list.
See Information about the links from the Scientific Name and Common Name.
Version for printing, without lines and other text on this page: html (4 pages) or pdf Clickbook booklet (1 double-sided pages). (See printing instructions for an explanation of these options)
