The Project Species List

Hopefully, there will soon be plenty of observations of these plants, so you don't need me to list them! But I suspect that the Juncus will lag. Here are the original species:

1. Sticky Cinquefoil (Drymocallis glandulosa)
2. Woodbeauty (Drymocallis lactea)
3. Woods' Rose (Rosa woodsii)
4. Curlleaf Mountain Mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius)
5. Mountain Whitethorn (Ceanothus cordulatus)
6. Snowbrush Ceanothus (Ceanothus velutinus)
7. Mahala Mat (Ceanothus prostratus)
8. Sulfur Buckwheat (Eriogonum umbellatum)
9. Chamisso Arnica (Arnica chamissonis)
10. Rosy Pussytoes (Antennaria rosea)
11. Rubber Rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa)
12. Slender Beardtongue (Penstemon gracilentus)
13. Wax Currant (Ribes cereum)
14. Mariposa Rush (Juncus dubius)
15. Goldenrod (Solidago elongata)

Brett Hall, of the Santa Cruz Arboretum and the California Native Plant Society is the project botanist who collected the seed in the Sagehen Basin, reared the young plants, then transplanted them into the study plots.
