| Locality | Coast Ranges; Temblor Mountains region: West end of the San Emigdio Mountains: Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge; Along Bitter Creek, northeast end of the refuge, in map unit 2. Between Cienaga Canyon to the west, and Santiago Creek to the east. Collected from 34.95453N 119.35027W, down creek to 34.96340N 119.34880W. |
| Habitat | Narrow creek bottom with some small open sandy areas. Mostly of narrow cliffs of freshly calving sedimentary shale and sandstone. Some places have higher grassy benches, with some deep soils. Plenty of signs of cattle tracks, but didn't see any of them. Manager workers hat cut down the Tamarix ramosissima to the base, but starting to sprout back. This species looked to be pretty thick before the treatment. Distichlis spicata has large carpets within the creek bottom too. Surrounding grassy hillsides were already pretty brown at this time. But some forbs especially Phacelia tanacetifolia, Trifolium willdenovii, Castilleja exserta, Lupinus succulentus, Stylomecon heterophylla, Pholistoma membranaceum, and Layia pentachaeta albida were colorful. Growing on dry, sandy creek bottom. |
