The Flora of the PCT: A4 Highway 80 to Kitchen Creek Road: Plant Trail Order

The Flora of the PCT: A4 Highway 80 to Kitchen Creek Road: Plant Trail Order

See The Flora of the PCT: A4 Highway 80 to Kitchen Creek Road for an introduction to this checklist.
This version of the Checklist is in order of plants along the trail, from Highway 80 to Kitchen Creek Road, for the first 120 species in the list. The checklist then contains additional species recorded in a survey from the other direction, and hence are not in trail order with the other observed species (marked with a + in the ID? column). Species that were not seen in the field survey, but which were vouchered from or near the trail, are given at the end of the list (marked with a V in the ID? column).
For species seen on the trail, the column ID? gives the uncertainty of the determination; see abbreviation for the determination uncertainties.
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)
