WILDFLOWER SURVEY
100 most common species
1 2/25/2020
C OMMON W ILDFLOWER G UIDE 2019
This common wildflower guide is for use during the annual wildflower survey at Sierra Azul Preserve. Featured are the
100 most common species seen during the wildflower surveys and only includes flowering species. Commonness is
based on previous surveys during April for species seen every year and at most areas around Sierra Azul OSP. The
guide is a simple color photograph guide with two selected features showcasing the species—usually flower and whole
plant or leaf.
The plants in this guide are listed by Color. Information provided includes the Latin name, common name, family, and
Habit, CNPS Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants rank or CAL-IPC invasive species rating. Latin names are current
with the Jepson Manual: Vascular Plants of California, 2012.
This guide was compiled by Cleopatra Tuday for Midpen. Images are used under creative commons licenses or used
