Plant Checklist For Deer Springs Trail, San Jacinto Mountains

This is a plant checklist in traditional Family order for the plants in the Deer Springs Trail as of 13 September 2017. See that guide for more information.

Basic information about the checklist presentation and links:

• Notes on the Scientific Names Used At This Site and
• Information about the links from the Scientific Name and Common Name.

An asterisk before the Common Name indicates a non-native taxon.

The column labeled Mile gives the first occurrence of each species in the guide.

The column labeled #Pls gives the number of plants we've seen in the area, including off-trail locations, up to a maximum of 99 plants. Species with OT in that column are found only off-trail, at a farther distance, and have not yet had an area abundance estimated.

Version for printing, without lines and other text on this page: html (5 pages) or pdf Clickbook booklet (2 double-sided pages). (See printing instructions for an explanation of these options)
