FIELD TRIPS PHOTO GALLERY
Photographs by Michael L. Charters
| This photo gallery is more or less a follow-up to my Field Trips Log which I maintained for several years. The task of writing the Log entries became somewhat onerous, and this photographic format has taken its place. NOTE: An upside-down V next to the common name indicates that it was a new taxon for me, and asterisks indicate non-native species. I am maintaining a list of taxa I find that are new to me, and it can be found here. If you are looking for a particular species in the Photo Gallery, you may consult a list here which I will try to keep as up to date as possible. I thank the people who contacted me with information regarding plant locations. If you would like to be on a mailing list to receive notification of new Photo Gallery pages, please contact me at: mmlcharters[at]calflora.net. If you would rather not receive e-mail notifications of new pages, please let me know. Latin names shown in this website are in accord with Jepson Manual 1st edition, although starting in May 2009 I began to incorporate the new names that will be in JM2. A list of nomenclatural changes for the species in my website may be consulted here. I express my deep appreciation to all those knowledgeable people who have taken the time to look at these photo galleries and apprise me of errors in identification. Without them these pages would be the poorer. |
