Some Native and Naturalized Plants of the
Palomar, Cuyamaca & Laguna Mt. Region

Including Yellow Pine Forest, Mt. Meadow, Southern Oak Woodland,
Riparian Woodland, Chamise Chaparral and Manzanita Chaparral

Compiled by W.P. Armstrong Between 1970 and 2003
Disclaimer: This list is intended as a useful supplement for students in my Botany 105, Botany 110
and Botany 115 classes at Palomar College. The list essentially covers the route of our field trips to
these beautiful mountains. It is not meant to be a thorough, scholarly list of all the plant species in
this diversified montane region. For a complete and up-to-date list of plant species in the Cuyamaca
and Laguna Mountains, please refer to J. Hirshberg and D. Clemons (1996) "Vascular Plants of the
Cuyamaca and Laguna Mountains, California," Phytologia 81: 69-102.

The montane region of San Diego County is a component of the Peninsular Ranges. This
forested region, plus the adjacent chaparral slopes and canyons, contains a very rich and
diverse flora.  The list contains about 25 percent of all the native and naturalized vascular
plant species in San Diego County.
