Southern mountain woolstar Eriastrum densifolium ssp. austromontanum Polemoniaceae

If you go by the taxonomy for Eriastrum densifolium as given in the Jepson Manual, then this is ssp. austromontanum. If you believe as some do that only ssp. sanctorum is a validly different ssp., then all the other ssp. including austromontanum are equivalent to ssp. densifolium, which is the voucher determination for taxa at Table Mountain.


California-aster Corethrogyne filaginifolia Asteraceae


Silky deerweed, Silky lotus Acmispon procumbens Fabaceae [procumbens = with trailing, prostrate stems]


Jeffrey pine Pinus jeffreyi Pinaceae
[Named after John Jeffrey, 1826-1854, gardener at the Edinburgh Botanic Garden and discoverer of the Jeffrey pine in the Shasta Valley of California in 1852. He spent four years exploring Oregon, Washington and California, and sent 1,700 specimens back to Scotland. He disappeared while traveling from San Diego across the Colorado Desert and despite searches was never seen again.]
