Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
The Santa Ana Mountains, as a whole, have been well-studied floristically. Little work, however, has been conducted previously in the southwestern portion of the range which includes the San Mateo Canyon Wilderness Area of the Cleveland National Forest. This study reports the results of our floristic surveys conducted in the wilderness over a three-year period, from December 1991 through October 1994. The study area, encompassing the headwaters of the San Mateo Canyon watershed, is topographically and geologically diverse. Vegetation is characterized by a complex assemblage of chaparral and coastal sage scrub, oak woodland, native and nonnative grasslands, and riparian woodland …

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
The Santa Ana Mountains, part of the Peninsular Ranges of southern California, have been welldocumented floristically. Nevertheless, since publication of a preliminary vascular flora for the range in 1978, a significant number of additions have been reported. These are principally from studies of two subregions in the southern portion of the range and include 42 taxa from the Santa Rosa Plateau and 88 taxa from the San Mateo Canyon Wilderness Area. Documentation is provided here for an additional 66 taxa not included in other published floristic accounts of the Santa Ana Mountains. A voucher specimen and generalized distribution information are …
