List of Plants[ Diversity and abundance]




  • Green Everlasting- Gnaphalium californicum-This plant was found primarily at the bottom of the crevice and grew up to 3 feet, although it was already dead, it was still quite jagged.

  • California ( Flat-topped) Buckwheat- Eriogonum  fasciculatum-This plant was also found primarily at the bottom of the crevice alongside the Green Everlasting, however it was also found next to several trees on the side of the hill, and could grow to 3 feet as well.



  • Coast Live Oak-Quercus agrifolia-This tree was found all around our area, as it covered the sides and the northern part of our crevice, and one was at the center of our view point. This tree can reach up to eighty-feet, and it was evident that this tree was present as it's leaves essentially formed the ground.




  • Deer Weed- (Lotus scoparius)-We saw several of these weeds up in the most northern part of crevice, however do the time of year they were all dead, and at most were a subtle 2 feet.
