Point Reyes National Seashore
Plant Checklist
Introduction
Point Reyes National Seashore encompasses 74,000
acres (114 sq mi) of dunes, sandy and rocky beaches,
coastal prairie, Douglas-fir and Bishop pine forests, chaparral and wilderness lakes. About one third of the Seashore is a pastoral zone with both dairy and beef ranches.
The Point Reyes peninsula is geologically distinct from
adjacent areas of Marin County since it is part of the Pacific
Plate which is moving north along the San Andreas Fault.
The flora of Point Reyes reflects the geological and climatic
uniqueness of the area and the resulting habitat diversity.
plants present, and any additional information about
flowering or condition of the plant(s). Observations can be
reported in writing to the visitor center or sent to the
authors at the Seashore address. Please include your
name, address, and phone number in case we need
additional information.
Status Footnotes

This checklist is based primarily on John Thomas
Howell’s classic Marin Flora, the recent revision of the
Jepson Manual, specimens from the Seashore’s herbarium
and recent field work conducted by volunteers from the
California Native Plant Society (CNPS). The CNPS has
played an important role in surveying and monitoring the
Point Reyes flora, particularly the rare plants. We are
especially grateful for the assistance of Bob Soost and other
members of the Marin CNPS.
This checklist is dedicated to the memory of Virgina
Norris.
