15 Research objectives 1. Inventory the vascular plant taxa in the upper Rock Creek watershed and publish a voucherbased checklist 2. Document observed changes in species composition within the study area over the past century, comparing new data against earlier data from historical collections. 3. Quantify the floristic dissimilarity of the upper Rock Creek watershed to nearby local floras, in terms of species in common.

16 Methods 1. Collect samples (vouchers) 2. Identify the vouchers Determinations of my own collections Annotations of other collections

17 Herbarium Specimens Concrete evidence of this species existence in place and time Representative example of this species Scientific and cultural value

18 Digital records of specimens

19 Frank Warrington Peirson ( ) Amateur botanist in CA, early 20 th century Rock Creek collections in 1930s-early 1940s 1938 self-published Plants of Rock Creek Lake Basin, Inyo County, California: A Check List 1942 addenda list Reported 344 taxa for Rock Creek Lake Basin Peirson herbarium collection housed at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden (RSA) Inset photo: Haverford College, PA, ca. 1889

20 John Thomas Howell ( ) Cal Academy of Sciences 1946 Base Camp (Sierra Club) 7-day expedition to Mono Pass area Published checklist for that trip in taxa not appearing on Peirson s list for Rock Creek 82 taxa reported for his Florula of Mono Mesa, 1947 Photo courtesy of: Calochortus howellii 2006 David McClurg Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License

21 Rock Creek Lake Basin a.k.a. Little Lakes Valley

22 The collections from Mosquito Flat are especially noteworthy. The name Mosquito Flat is applied to an elongate area of meadow and canyonside that extends along Rock Creek for about a half mile below the start of the Mono Pass Trail. In the area explored, less perhaps than one-eighth square mile, 202 species and varieties were found. When it is recalled that in Smiley s Boreal Flora of the Sierra Nevada of California 633 species are treated, the richness of the Mosquito Flat flora can be appreciated. I know of no place comparable to it in the Sierra Nevada. -J.T. Howell, 12 September 1946 looking north along Rock Creek, Mosquito Flat area

23 Why a Flora of Rock Creek? Personal value Need for a contemporary Flora of the area Opportunity for historical comparison Rich plant diversity Alpine habitat and climate change Recreational value Draba sierrae
