CHAPTER IX.
CATALOGUE OF FLOWERING PLANTS
AND FERNS OF SANTA
CRUZ COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
BY C. L. ANDERSON.
THIS list contains all the native flowering plants of Santa Cruz County known to me, and perhaps some I do not know, as well as a few introduced ones that have become as much, if not more, at home here than the natives. It also contains the ferns.
Perhaps no one county in California has a greater variety of flora than Santa Cruz, in proportion to its size. And that is equivalent to saying that no equal area in the world exceeds our county in this respect.
The list, however, is not given as complete. The future botanist will add much to it, and doubtless make many changes. I only present it as a nucleus in the hope that it may serve a useful purpose to those who may wish to study our flora in somewhat of a systematic way.
