Key
*Native to some part of California, but not to Santa Clara County. ** Native to the San Francisco Bay Area [symbol SnFrB] per The Jepson Manual, 1993; Hickman, editor. If planting near wild land, parks, open space, creeks, lakes or drainage ditches: a) Use plants grown from local propagules when available, b) If possible do not use horticultural varieties, i.e. cultivars, or non-local or non-native selections of this genus or taxon, in order to prevent genetic pollution of resident local native populations. Hybridizing Has potential to cross-pollinate local native populations of the same genus or taxon. Do not use near wild land, parks, open space, creeks, lakes or drainage ditches to prevent genetic pollution of resident local native populations. Invasive Has potential to spread aggressively. Do not plant adjacent wild land, parks, open space, creeks, lakes or drainage ditches.
