Another year has passed and a surprising number of taxa (species, varieties, and subspecies) have been added to Plants of the Bodie Hills: an Annotated Checklist — about 50! Some of these are new finds in the field; some are new records in the on-line herbarium databases. Some of these are definite new additions; some are in the “maybe” category. The total count is now about 750 taxa.
Other changes in this year’s edition include the addition of keys to selected genera, and additions to the map on the last page (or back cover, if it’s printed 2-sided).
CLICK HERE to visit the Downloads page. The January 2019 edition of the checklist is a 64-page, 6.1 mb PDF file.
Here’s a selection of favorite plants seen during visits to the Bodie Hills in 2018:
Matted wild buckwheat: Eriogonum caespitosum
Spotted wild buckwheat: Eriogonum maculatum
Dorr’s sage: Salvia dorrii
