Flora of Upper Palm Wash / Calcite Mine Road

Introduction
Checklist

Introduction

This checklist is a start at a flora of the Upper Palm Wash / Calcite Mine Road area. It contains a list of the species with reasonably-certain identifications from a single survey on 21 February 2008, as well as the species vouchered and found from a fairly-large surrounding area.
See also Flora of Palm Wash Area in both San Diego and Imperial Counties.
The Upper Palm Wash / Calcite Mine Road area is delineated by the red rectangle in the following map:

The route surveyed on 21 February 2008 is shown in red on the following map:

The parking area on the north side of the road is at mile marker 38.0 on S22, 0.2 miles west of the beginning of the Calcite Mine Jeep Road. There is a use trail from the parking area to the Jeep Road.
The survey on 21 February 2008 covered the parking area, the use trail, the Calcite Mine Road, the south fork of Palm Wash from the Jeep Road to where it becomes impassable by a dry waterfall (labeled South Palm Wash in the above map), and a short portion of the branch of Palm Wash at mile 1.4 of the Calcite Mine Road.
Jerry Schad calls the slot canyon in Palm Wash near mile 1.4 one of the best slot canyons in Anza-Borrego. I indeed found it to be quite impressive, as were the slot canyons in the south fork of Palm Wash.
This survey covered a total of 3.5 miles, consisting of 1.4 miles of wash, the 1.9 miles of the Calcite Mine Road, and the 0.2 miles of the use trail. The elevation ranges from 520 feet in South Palm Wash at the Calcite Mine Road, to 850 feet in Upper South Palm Wash, and to 1140 feet at the Calcite Mine.
The survey found 57 taxa that could be fairly-confidently identified, given in the checklist below, along with four other species that could not yet be identified - two perennial grasses, a Mentzelia, and a Nemacladus, none of which were in bloom.
The locations of first occurrence of all 61 taxa are shown in the plot below:

Some taxa were found at the same location, especially near the beginning of the survey, so there are fewer than 61 points plotted above.
As expected, most of the taxa are found near the starting point. Nearly all of the rest of the taxa are from South Palm Wash, with a surprisingly number of new species that continued to appear in the upper reaches of that wash. The exceptions are:

two taxa - desert lavender, Hyptis emoryi, and a perennial grass similar to saltgrass, Distichlis spicata - found in the wash near mile 1.4 of the road; and
two taxa - indigo bush, Psorothamnus schottii, and Gander's cholla, Opuntia ganderi - found near the Calcite Mine.

The checklist below also contains species vouchered from a much larger area, the southeast Santa Rosa Mountains north of S22 and the Borrego Badlands south of S22, as well as a few taxa found from a survey in the nearby Palo Verde Wash.
See also the botanical report from the 21 February 2008 survey.
Checklist for Upper Palm Wash / Calcite Mine Road

The Checklist is sorted first by category - ferns, gymnosperms, dicots, and monocots - and then by family and scientific name. The Family and Scientific Name are from the Jepson Manual, with the family name represented by its first three letters (see Plant Family Abbreviations). An asterisk before the Common Name indicates a non-native taxon.
The column labeled # Plants/Areas indicates whether a taxon was present in the 21 February 2008 survey, and give a rough estimate of the number of plants and number of locations for each species in the entire survey. Maximum values are 99 plants, and 9 locations. The main intent here is to indicate the species for which I found very few plants or locations.
The final two columns give the number of vouchers for each taxon found in the southeast Santa Rosa Mountains north of S22 (SRM) and the Borrego Badlands south of S22 (Badland).
A few additional taxa from the nearby Palo Verde Wash are also included, which have no entries in the last three columns.
One taxon below, Petalonyx linearis, is given with a question mark. It is growing in typical P. linearis habitat, on a rock wall, but Andy Sanders says that the leaves are still fairly typical P. thurberi. I will try to check blooms on this plant in the future to make sure.
