Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This field guide to the flora of the San Gabriel Mountains of southern California is at once a personal and entertaining account of the region's botanical context and history of exploration, and a long-awaited inventory of its flora. The author, Orlando Mistretta, grew up at the foot of this mountain range and has spent the past four decades of his botanical career exploring the far corners of this exceedingly rugged mountain range located in close proximity to Greater Los Angeles. Over 30 color photographs and maps accompany a detailed introduction to all aspects of the San Gabriels, including physical setting, project boundaries and history of its botanical exploration. Keys to plant families, genera, species and subspecific ranks are carefully formulated to be accessible to both botanical professionals and generalists. Species entries include information on taxonomic authorities, life form, abundance, habitat (vegetation types [including post-burn occurrences] and elevation), localities of occurrence (list of specific canyons and other locations), and a representative herbarium voucher. Notes on possible hybridization, historical records, alternative taxonomy and native versus introduced status are included. An index lists families, genera and species. This book is part of the Occasional Publications series published by Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont, California, the largest botanic garden dedicated to California native flora.
