small selection of native plant species primarily from Santa Clara and San Mateo counties (there are over 1,200 native species in the Santa Cruz Mountains alone). This is not an identification guide; use the manuals listed in the
publications section.There is also a common name index.
Other wildlower images are found at California Wildflowers (Berkeley Digital Library Project), a collection that will eventually contain 20,000 35mm photographs of California
wildflowers. Wild-Flowers.com is a gateway to additional pages.
