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. |
