Checklist of the Vascular Plants of San Diego County Format and Symbols |
| Checklist Format: | |
| 1) | Major vascular plant groups are noted in BOLD CAPITALS. |
| 2) | Families are noted in BOLD SMALL CAPS. |
| 3) | Species and infraspecies are noted in Bold italics (ssp.=subspecies, var.=variety); full authorships for these taxa are listed generally from The Jepson Manual or Hortus Third (Bailey and Bailey 1976). |
| 4) | A representative herbarium voucher is shown in curly brackets "{ }", listing the herbarium acronym – from CAS-DS, CHSC, JEPS, POM, RSA, SD, SDSU, UC, IRVC, or UCR – and associated accession number. |
| 5) | Common names are noted in SMALL CAPITALS, and are derived from A Flora of San Diego County (Beauchamp 1986), The Jepson Manual, Hortus Third (Bailey and Bailey,1976), or from internet resources, especially CalFlora. |
| 6) | Environmental listing, where applicable, is noted in bold. |
| 7) | Synonyms (rejected names) and relevant information are listed within square brackets "[ ]". We list only those synonyms that are the accepted names in A Flora of San Diego County, The Jepson Manual, or other recent publications or citations. (See The Jepson Manual or the Jepson Online Interchange for a more complete list of synonomy.) |
| 8) | Pertinent notes regarding literature cited, taxonomy, distribution, rarity, or ongoing studies are indicated for selected taxa. |
Checklist Symbols may precede taxa names to indicate: |
|
| * | a taxon that is not native to the County, but has become naturalized, meaning that the taxon is persisting or spreading in natural, non-cultivated areas. |
| ! | a taxon that is an addition to the County not listed in A Flora of San Diego County (Beauchamp 1986). |
| † | a taxon that is not listed in The Jepson Manual. Note that some of these may be cited anecdotally in The Jepson Manual, but are not officially recognized there. |
| § | a taxon that is considered to be endemic to San Diego County. Note that some of these taxa are near endemic, having a single known population occurring just outside of the County’s border (e.g., the south side of Otay Mountain). |
| ? | a taxon (cited only in Appendix 1) that is doubtfully found in the County and has certainly or probably been misidentified in the past. |
