Plants of
Sedgwick Reserve
Santa Barbara County,
California
Ferren, Wayne, J.
Hamilton, M Williams, et al. 1999

For PDF file to download and/or print
This draft checklist of
vascular plants includes taxa observed or collected at Sedgwick Reserve, a
natural reserve owned by the University of
California and managed by the UC Natural
Reserve System out of the local NRS office at the University of California,
Santa Barbara.
Species native to the reserve are listed in italic print. Specimen voucher
numbers (SR#) are given for those taxa “confirmed” by local authorities and
documented with collections that are deposited at the UCSB Herbarium. Taxa only
tentatively identified but documented with voucher specimens are noted by an
asterix (*). Taxa reported from casual field observations but not documented by
specimens are noted with a question mark (?).
This checklist will be updated as necessary. Please provide comments and
additions. We request that voucher specimens, with labels or label data, for
all additional taxa be deposited at the UCSB Herbarium whenever possible.
