The impetus for this study began with
my publication of the Glendora Foothills Plant Checklist - San
Gabriel Mountains, 1994. I began collecting plants in the
eastern San Gabriel Mountains, other then Glendora, on September 28,
1991 and have continued to the present. An update to the Glendora
plants is available on my web page as well as my publication of
Vascular Plants of the South Hills, 2006. The initial
intention was to complete a survey of the San Bernardino County
portion of the San Gabriel Mountains, which is under the jurisdiction
of the San Bernardino National Forest (SBNF). As years of plant
collecting went by, the desire to extend the project to the eastern
one-half of the San Gabriel Mountain Range evolved. To allow
researchers from the two separate counties to more readily examine
material from their county of interest, I included separate
treatments for each taxa for both the Los Angeles County and the San
Bernardino County. After the collection phase of the Plants of the
Eastern San Gabriel Mountains was nearly finished, I desired to
continue westward through the entire east-west block of the San
Gabriel Mountains. The Liebre Mountains which are included within
the San Gabriel Mtountains on most maps, are not included in this
publication.
Discussion and explanation regarding
the exclusion of the Liebre Mountain portion of this mountain range,
will be entertained at a future date. The Liebre Mountain Block,
projects to the north-west, between the Tehachapi Mountains to the
immediate west and the Mojave Desert to the north and east. A large
number of plant species found in the Liebre Mountains are not found
in the main east-west block that lies to the immediate south. Many
of these plants of course are found in the surrounding Mojave Desert
areas to the north and east. A comparative study between the floral
elements of the Liebre Mountains in contrast to main east-west block
of the San Gabriel’s, will not be attempted at this time. Such
a study would be of great value to the understanding of the floras
present in both areas. The lesser degree of the coastal influence in
the Liebre Mountains, of course would be a major consideration to
examining the sources of climatic differences.
The plants that appear in this
publication include searches of the databases of the Consortium of
California Herbaria, RSABG and UCR Herbaria. These three databases
include most of the 14 thousand plants I have collected from the San
Gabriel Mountains from 1967 to 2009. There are an additional 4400
plants from 2010-2011, presently being processed at UCR. The complete
collection is housed at the UCR Herbarium. As many of the plants
available on the database of RSABG have not yet been entered into the
Consortium Database, it was necessary to also perform separate
searches of the RSABG database. My searches of the RSABG database
are not yet complete.
Two separate historical reviews of
plant collecting in the San Gabriel Mountains, were completed by the
author in February of 2010. Both of these reviews are based on the
selection of the first voucher specimen collected for each taxa.
Both of these are posted on my website. I will shortly begin updating
these puplications, as several hunded taxa have been added to The
Plants of the San Gabriel Mountains since the time of their
publication. A separate review was made for both the Los Angeles and
San Bernardino County portions of the San Gabriel Mountains. All
plants from the San Bernardino County portion review appear in this
study. Only plants that are recorded from within the boundary of
this survey were chosen for inclusion from the Historical Review
of Plant Collecting in the Los Angeles County Portion of the San
Gabriel Mountains.
As with the plants of the Glendora
project and the Plants of the Eastern San Gabriel Mountains,
Andrew C. Sanders, Curator of the UCR Herbarium has been responsible
for the identification/verification of the plants. Others that
participated in the identification process included G.K. Helmkamp,
Mark Hershkovitz, Mark S. Brunell, Mitch Provance, S.D. White, Steve
Boyd, Tim Ross, Orlando Mistretta, Robert Thorne, J.M. Porter,
Joshua M. Brokaw, Harlan Lewis, Richard K. Rabeler, J.L. Strother,
Tom Chester, G.C. Tucker, LeRoy Gross, S. Galen Smith, Peter F. Zika,
Jeff M. Saarela, Oscar Clark, James L. Reveal, D. H. Wilken and
Elizabeth Kempton. Copies of most of the plants were also included
for the RSA herbarium and were processed with the same identification
label as ones interred into the UCR collection.
Andrew has completed the processing of
11,700 plants of my San Gabriel Mountain collection and they are
currently posted on the Consortium of California Herbaria as well as
the databases at RSABG and UCR Herbaria. I collected four thousand
four-hundred plants, mostly from the western San Gabriel Mts., during
2010-2011. These have not yet been processed.
I have compiled one-hundred and
sixteen plant surveys from the eastern San Gabriel’s which are
currently available on my website under the heading of East San
Gabriel Mountain Sensitive Areas. I will continue adding surveys of
specific areas to the San Gab. Mts. Miniflora as time goes by. A
complete collection of the plants of each location is made during at
least two different seasons.
Description of study area boundaries:
North boundary:
This begins at the junction of the
Santa Clara River at Dry Creek at Bouquet Junction in Santa Clarita.
It procedes eastward along the Santa Clara River, north of Soledad
Canyon Road. It continues along the canyon bottom of Santa Clara Wash
eastward through Langre, Ravenna, southern Acton and Vincent, until
it reaches Carson Messa. Here it continues on the north side of the
Messa until it intercepts the California Aqueduct. The boundary
stays on the south side of the aqueduct until it reaches Barrel
Springs at 2.0 miles due north of Little Rock Reservoir on the desert
slopes of the San Gabriel’s. Continue east south-east,
following approximately 0.5 miles north of Mt. Emma Road and south of
the aqueduct. Continue east-south-east until reaching the base of
the north slope of Holcomb Ridge in the Valyermo area. Continue east
along the base of the north slope of Holcomb Ridge along the 4000 ft.
(1220 m.) contour level to Graham Canyon. Continue east south-east
to the 4200 ft. (1280 m.) contour line on the east side of Graham
Canyon. Continue east along the north base of the San Gabriel
foothills until reaching the junction of Hwy. 138 and Sheep Creek
Road. Continue southeastward along the crest of Baldy Mesa as it
overlooks the town of Phelan to the north and the Cajon Canyon to the
south. It terminates at the Cajon Summit at the I-15 Frwy.
West boundary:
It begins in the south at the junction
of I-5 and I-210 Freeways. The boundary runs north along Newhall
Creek and northward along the east side of San Fernando Road to the
Santa Clara River at Dry Creek at Bouquet Junction in Santa Clarita.
Here it turns eastward along the Santa Clara River, north of Soledad
Canyon Road.
South boundary:
From the junction of the I-210 and I-5
Freeways, eastward on the north side of the I-210 Freeway and
Foothill Boulevard Avenues, above the housing and industrial
developments, in the foothill areas. At Kagel and Little Tujunga
Canyons, the boundary will dip southward across the I-210 Freeway and
into the Big Tujunga Basin. It will include the east side of Hansen
Dam and its basin including the Haines Canyon Riverbed. This area
lies between the Verdugo Mountains on the south and the San Gabriel
Mountains on the north. This area could also be included in a
treatment of the Verdugo Mountains. The boundary will continue
eastward along the Big Tujunga River Channel where is crosses the
I-210 Freeway. It will continue eastward, parallel to and north of
Foothill Boulevard Avenue in Sunland, Tujunga and La Crescenta.
Continue eastward to Loma Alta Park, north of Devil’s Gate Dam.
Continue eastward north of Altadena to Farnsworth Park and then
southeastward to Eaton Canyon Park. Continue eastward in the
foothill area north of the residential areas of the town of Sierra
Madre until reaching Big Santa Anita Canyon at Arcadia Wilderness
Park. The boundary turns southward along the Big Santa Anita Canyon
to the north side of the developed areas of Monrovia, Duarte. The
boundary line veers slightly to the south along the mouth of the San
Gabriel River to the I-210 Freeway, south of Foothill Boulevard. This
includes Los Angeles County Flood Control Property, the majority of
which contains undisturbed alluvial deposits along the San Gabriel
River. On the east side of the San Gabriel Wash, continue eastward
along the base of the foothills in Azusa/Glendora. The boundary
continues eastward along the south-facing San Gabriel foothills of
San Dimas, LaVerne, Claremont and Upland. The boundary will run
along the south side of San Antonio Dam and continue eastward north
of the cities of Rancho Cuccamonga and Etiwanda until reaching Lytle
Creek Wash. The boundary runs just north of the I-210 Freeway until
it reaches Glen Helen Regional Park area in Devore, known as
Muscupiabe. It extends to the southern region of Muscupiabe,
adjacent to the Cajon Wash.
East boundary:
From Cajon Summit at I-15 in the north,
the boundary runs southward along the I-15 Freeway at Hwy. 138. It
continues on the west side of the I-15 at the east bank of the Cajon
Wash until reaching the far southern portion of Glen Helen Regional
Park, in the Devore area still referred to as Muscupiabe.
Choosing to delineate the northeastern
boundary of the San Gabriel Mountains by selecting the southern-most
ridgeline of Baldy Mesa, from Pinon Hills in the west to Cajon Summit
in the east, is admittedly arbitrary. Defense of a more northerly
development of boundary lines on Baldy Mesa, extending north into the
town of Phelan and along the I-15 Freeway in the east, could be made
with some convincing arguments. My major concern was finding a
defensible boundary line in the far-eastern area, where the elevation
is much more consistent, as it joins the floor of the southern Mojave
Desert. I would imagine that careful consideration of the boundaries
between the several plant communities in this area would become an
integral part of a determination of a more northerly boundary line.
Nominate species: These are
species without further subspecific names. When a species has
further subspecific names, some entries below also list the species
itself without the subspecific name. There can be several reasons
for this. First, some of the plants listed under this category may
not have yet been determined to subspecific level….. Second,
some plants may not be classifiable to the subspecific level,
especially when the subspecific names correspond only to the extremes
of the variation in the species.
If there are very few entries of the
nominate species along with the subtaxa, it becomes more likely that
this is the case. Plants having a high number of records for the
nominate species which also include one or more subtaxa, increases
the chances that some of these are actually the nominate species.
Many collectors retain more than one
specimen per voucher number. Duplicate plants are often sent to
other herbaria rather than being retained at the same Herbarium. The
Consortium and specific herbaria databases need to be scanned to see
if there is more than one herbarium listed with the specimen. If so,
check to see if both/all specimens of the same voucher-number agree
to the subspecific level. One specimen may be determined to species
only and the others to a specific subtaxa. Many older specimens of
one hundred years or more, still have these discrepancies. This is a
prevalent condition, as most herbaria don’t regularly check to
see if specimens that have been sent out, have received a different
ID determination. I currently have __ specimens that have received
entirely different species determinations by different herbaria. I
regularly send this list of discrepancies to the herbaria involved to
let them know of the need for further verification. This is to be
expected, and should be monitored carefully.
All plant names used in this
publication, unless otherwise stated, conform to “The Jepson
Manual: Vascular Plants of California, Second Edition, 2012”.
Information included with each entry:
Elevation:
When the elevation was not found in the Consortium of CH, I made no
attempt to try and determine one. In cases for a very specific
location, the determination of elevation should be close, but to
alleviate the chance of error, these plants will not be used in
discussion of elevation ranges for the species. When consulting the
Consortium of CH for elevation data, make sure you look to see if
another specimen is listed for that voucher number, if there is no
elevation listed. For voucher numbers that include two or more
specimens, make sure you check all the specimens shown for that
voucher number, if any of the standard information is missing. Data
may be omitted on one specimen that is present on another. This is
especially true for elevation. Often, the elevation will be listed
in feet on one specimen, and be listed in meters for another specimen
of that same voucher number. Obviously they should both match.
Elevation is listed for only one of the specimens for one given
voucher number, a majority of the time. It is possible that the
elevation was not searched for long enough, for some species listed
as not being given an elevation.
Range of months
listed: This indicates the month the voucher specimens were
collected. The months were selected only from specimens collected
within the study area. No attempt is made to indicate which
reproductive structures accompanied the voucher specimen. It could
have included dried fruits, which could have remained on the plant
long after its active reproductive period.
Abundance
rating: This is a relative determination, based on
the number of voucher entries available and my experience with each
taxa within the survey area. The ratings are: Abundant, common,
fairly common, uncommon, rare.
Relative
geographical orientation (Section): The
following three terms will be used to describe the relative location
of each location in relationship to its proximity to the coastal side
of the mountains. These three terms will be referred to as sections.
Sections:
montane: The central, higher areas
of the main east-west San Gabriel Mountain block.
cismontane: The coastal side of the
mountains.
transmontane: The desert or northern
side of the mountains.
Cajon Pass: Since it would not necessarily be appropriate to
qualify the plants found within the central Cajon Pass area as
being montane, this special category will be used regardless of the
plants location within Cajon Pass. This will also include plants
from the lower Lone Pine Canyon area. Plants found in the far north
and south areas could safely be determined as transmontane and
cismontane, but to be consistent, this fourth category will be used.
No ranges of
elevation will be used at this time to help specify the range of the
four sections.
FVS: First
Vouchered Specimen: Unless there is only one record for a specific
taxa, the FVS will be included for each county. If the record is
already included in the general species treatment, only the date will
be given. The remainder of the data can be found in the above
treatment. If the record is not mentioned above, the entire data
will be listed following the date.
General treatment:
Rare to Uncommon: Plants with
less then ten entries will normally be described by displaying
all the available individual voucher label data. Basic voucher
data will include: collector(s), location, date and elevation.
Occasionally, additional information will be presented.
Uncommon:
Many uncommon plants will have too many records to include all data.
A list of locations only may be given for these species without the
rest of the basic data.
Fairly Common to
Abundant: The basic data label information for the specimens
with the lowest and highest elevation records, will be displayed for
each county. The range of months collected will be noted, and the
relative abundance rating will be given.
Records by the
author: My specimens will be listed first, without collector
name. These references will be followed by the category of Other
records. Generally, any species without the collector indicated,
will be from my collection.
Intergradation:
Used as stated in the TJM-2012 under the treatment of
individual species. Of those listed, only the intergrading taxa that
actually exist within the San Gab. Mts. area, will be cited.
Synonyms:
Those used in TJM-2012 are cited here. Another primary source
wast he GRIN Taxonomy of Plants, Germplasm Resources Information
Network.
Place of origin:
If the spp. is not native to the San Gab. Mts., the most likely
place(s) of origin are listed. The two primary sources used were
TJM-2012 and GRIN Taxonomy of Plants, Germplasm Resources Information
Network.
Additional data:
some information relative to the San Gabriel Mountain plants found
within TJM-2012 is included under taxa descriptions.
California Rare Plant Ranks: CRPR
1A Plants presumed extinct in
California.
1B Plants Rare, threatened, or
endangered in California & elsewhere.
2 Plants rare, threatened, or endangered in Calif., but more common
elsewhere.
3 Plants about which we need more
information. A Review List.
4 Plants of limited distribution. A
Watch List.
CBR Considered but refected
The CNPS Threat Rank is an
extension added onto the CRPR & designates the level of
endangerment by a 1-3 rnking with 1 being the most endangered and 3
being lest endangerement present for all 1B’s, 2’s, 3’s
and 4’s.
Threat Ranks:
Seriously threatened in CA (over
80% of occurences threatened/ high degree & immediacy of
threat)
Fairly threatened in CA (20-80 %
occur threatened/moderate degree and immediacy of threat)
Not very threratened in CA (, 20%
of occurences threatened/low degree & immediacy of threat or no
current threats known)
Global Ranking (G)
G1 Less than 6 viable element occurrences (populations for species)
OR less than 1,000 individuals OR less than 809. 4 hectares (ha)
(2,000 acres [ac])
G2 6 to 20 element occurrences OR 809.4
to 4,047 ha (2,000 to 10, 000 ac).
G3 21 to 100 element occurrences OR 3,000 to 10,000 individuals OR
4,047 to 20,235 ha (10,000 to 50,000 ac).
G4 Apparently secure; this rank is clearly lower than G3 but factors
exist to cause some concern (i.e. there is some threat, or somewhat
narrow habitat).
G5 Population or stand demonstrably secure to ineradicable due to
being commonly found in the world.
GH All sites are historic; the element has not been seen for at least
20 years, but suitable habitat still exists.
GX All sites are extirpated; this
element is extinct in the wild.
GXC Extinct in the wild; exists in
cultivation.
G1Q The element is very rare, but there
is a taxonomic question associated with it.
Subspecies Level
Subspecies receive a T-rank
attached to the G-rank. With the subspecies, the G-rank reflects the
conditions of the entire species, whereas the T-rank reflects
the global situation of just the subspecies or variety.
_______________
CNPS R-E-D Code (This ranking is no
longer in use. It has been replaced by the CRPR system shown above.)
R – Rarity
1 Rare, but found in sufficient numbers and distributed widely enough
that the potential
for extinction is
low at this time.
2 Distribution in a limited number and occasionally more if each
occurrence is small.
3 Distributed in one to several highly restricted occurences or
present in such small numbers that it is seldom reported.
E – Endangerment
1 Not endangered.
2 Enangered in a part of its range.
3 Endangered throuout its range.
D – Distribution
More or less widespread outside
CA.
Rare outside CA.
Endemic to CA.
State and Fed. Status:
For each taxon with official status
under the state and/or Fed. Endangered species acts, the plants
status is presented. The definitions conform to those found in DA
State law and Fed. regulatlions. The CNPS R-E-D Code is listed for a
majority of the sensistive taxa, but this ranking has been
discontinued and replaced by the system described above.
Place name discrepancies and
location descriptions:
There are many references to Horsethief
Canyon as being located in the San Gabriel Mountains. Horsethief
Canyon is actually located in the San Bernardino Mountains, within
3.1 miles east of Cajon Pass at Cajon Junction (junction of Highway
138 & I-15 Freeway). If the specimen was collected in the San
Gabriel Mountains, then the location is most likely Horse Canyon,
which is within 6.2 miles west of Cajon Pass. The location names
listed on the voucher data section will be listed as shown on the
voucher.
Big Dalton Canyon Wilderness Park was
formerly called Glendora Wilderness Park. Both names may be found in
this publication.
The El Encanto area, north of Azusa, is
now the home of the El Encanto Azusa Canyon Wilderness Park. It has
had at least 3 names between 2000 and 2009.
Swarthout Valley references are often
listed with the spelling of Swartout Valley. It is possible that
some early maps displayed this spelling. Specimens as early as 1900
have it spelled both ways. The spelling, displayed on the voucher
labels have been retained for this publication.
Johnson’s Pastures north of
Claremont has been spelled a number of ways, which were included as
written on data labels.
Lodgepole Picnic Area was formerly
referred to as Whitethorn Picnic Area. It is located at Dorr Cyn. at
the Angeles Crest Hwy., on the north slope of Throop Peak, southeast
of Dawson Saddle
The San Bernardino National Forest
portion of the east San Gabriel’s was often referred to as the
San Bernardino Mountains, in the 1800 and early 1900 hundreds. This
made the determination of Cajon Pass locations difficult, as there
were two Cajon Passes and Cajon Summits after 1860. One is in the
San Gabriel Mountains and one is in the San Bernardino Mountains.
Although the San Gabriel Mountain Cajon Pass was also referred to by
many during the early years as being in the San Bernardino Mountains.
During the 1800 and early 1900’s, the entire San Gabriel
Mountain Range was commonly referred to as the San Antonio Mountains
and less commonly the Sierra Madre Mountains. This last reference
may have been more in use for the western portion of the San Gabriel
Mountains.
Cajon Pass: Up until 1860, the
Cajon Pass route turned to the east, near the present day Cajon
Junction, and passed through the San Bernardino Mountains through
Summit Valley. If Cajon Summit is indicated prior to 1861, it is in
the San Bernardino Mountains at the west end of Horsethief Canyon and
Summit Valley. Even if upper Cajon Pass is indicated on plant
voucher data-labels, it’s still uncertain if the location is
below or above the Cajon Junction, which is the separating point of
the two upper routes.
Between 1861 and 1875, a new route went
northward near the present course today. During this time, it was a
toll road. By 1875, the toll road was in disrepair. In 1882, the
charter for the Toll Road expired and the route became public. If
the upper Cajon Pass or Cajon Summit was referred to after 1861, it
may have been in either the San Gabriel or San Bernardino Mountains,
since there were now two Cajon Summits and two Cajon Passes. Between
1861 & 1875, the upper northern route as well as the lower
portion between Devore and Cajon Junction, would most likely have
been referred to as the Cajon Toll Road. Only the eastern Cajon Pass
during this time was not subject to a toll tax. In the first few
years of the toll road, the toll levied on each wagon was one dollar.
Locations after 1861 need to be examined for further detail to
determine which Cajon Pass or Cajon Summit is being referred to.
Regardless of the date used, just the reference to Cajon Pass does
not indicate whether it was the southern portion, shared by both
routes, or the upper portion, which now had a north and an east
branch. One was in the San Gabriel Mountains and the other in the
San Bernardino Mountains. Technically, most of the northern route
runs between the two mountain ranges and finally terminates at the
summit on the San Gabriel Mountain side. The lower portion of the
northern route could be placed in either mountain range, knowing that
it actually lies in between them both.
At the dawn of the 20th Century and the
automobile, the Cajon Pass Road continued to remain in service. It
was now a macadam-surfaced road and was maintained by the county of
San Bernardino. In 1915, the Cajon Pass was adopted as a State
Highway by the State Highway Commission and designated as part of
Legislative Route number 31. The route was paved in 1916 and was
open for general automotive traffic. It was adopted as part of the
new National US Highway 66 and an original US Highway in 1926.
The paved route was then expanded into
a new two-lane Cajon Pass Route in 1932 and was co-signed with the
extended US Highway 395, after 1934. It became US Highway Blvd. or
Cajon Pass, the remnant of US 66/US 91/US 395, before the
construction of the I-15 Freeway in 1969.

Cajon Pass/Summit Area, was taken from US 66, 91, 395 Photo Gallery,

concludes that C. acanthocarpa var. coloradensis is

Part II
Plants of the Liebre Mountains, not
found in the main east-west block of the San Gabriel
Mountains
The main text of this treatment on the
plants of the San Gabriel Mountains, includes only the main east-west
block of the range. A partial explanation of this descision, is
included in the main text introduction. Because the “Liebre
Mts (including the south-eastern area with the Sierra Pelona) are
included as part of the San Gabriel Mts. on most maps, it may be
insightful to include those plant species that are unique to the
Liebre Mountains portion of the San Gabriel Moutains. Those plants
included in the main text that were found only in the boundary region
between the two components, are also listed in this treatment of the
Liebre Mountains.
