A vascular flora of the Agua Tibia Mountains, southern California
1999
Banks, Darin L.
The Agua Tibia Mountains, located at the northern end of the Palomar Range, have historically been the site for very little botanical research when compared with other units of the Peninsular Ranges, such as the Santa Ana Mountains. This study reported the results of a floristic survey of the mountains that was conducted over a four-year period, from September 1994 through May 1999. This study area encompassed the drainage system of Agua Tibia Mountain and is topographically and geologically diverse. A complex mosaic of herbaceous, shrub- and tree-dominated vegetation was found in range. Vascular plant taxa reported for the mountains totaled 954, including 756 considered native and 198 considered nonnative. Among these were sensitive plant taxa. range extensions, and disjunct taxa that created a rich diversity of plant species and revealed important insights into the phytogeographic history of mountains.
