Mission Trails Regional Park Vascular Plant Checklist

Authors: Michael G. Simpson
Locality: Mission Trails Regional Park, San Diego, Caifornia (32.83208 -117.05243)
Abstract:

   This is a checklist of the vascular plants of Mission Trails Regional Park. We list only those taxa that are documented, as only they can be scientifically verified. We consider documentation to primarily be vouchered herbarium specimens. These are cited and linked to specimens databased through the CCH2: Consortium of California Herbaria 2. We use the Jepson eFlora as the primary source of our taxonomy, but in some cases use the primary literature from more recent studies. 

    To date, 5 taxa at Mission Trails Regional Park have a listing on the CNPS Inventory of Rare Plants:
Ambrosia pumila: 1B.1 FE G1 S1
Brodiaea orcuttii: 1B.1 G2 S2
Dudleya variegata: 1B.2 G2 S2
Harpagonella palmeri: 4.2 G4 S3
Holocarpha virgata var. elongata: 4.2 G5T3 S3
