A Field Guide to the Plants of the San Emigdio Mountains Region of California

Including the Gorman Hills, Frazier Mountain Recreation Area, and Mount Pinos Recreation Area
by Pam De Vries

The plant life of the San Emigdio Mountains Region is rich and varied due to its location at the junction of several distinct geographic ecoregions.  The 8,800 foot Mount Pinos stands at the center of the region and overlooks a broad area of the Los Padres National Forest including Frazier Mountain and the Gorman Hills along Interstate 5, famous for its fabulous wildflower displays.  Wind Wolves Preserve and Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge areas, where California condors are often in view, are also covered by this book.  This easy-to-use field guide contains photos and descriptions of over 190 herbs, shrubs, and trees commonly found in the region.
