Donate to Calflora

Calflora aggregates plant location data from thousands of sources. Locations and written location descriptions from these datasets are helping botanists rediscover plant populations and document them in Calflora. Here are a few examples:

Vaccinium shastense ssp. shastense


Len Lindstrand III used hand-written notes on a specimen to rediscover the 1900 Milo Baker collection of Vaccinium shastense ssp. shastense.


Len searched intensively near the Afterthought Mine for months, finally finding the site. Co-author Julie Kierstead documented it in Calflora.

Track Population Change Over Time


When you rediscover a plant population, you may create a history stack. A history stack organizes multiple records concerning the condition of a population over time. In a history stack, all of the records concerning the population are linked back to the earliest, or root, record.


Some history stacks in Calflora are many layers deep and reflect population area, plant count, and percent cover change over the course of decades. Learn how here.

Show us your rediscovered plant populations by replying to this email! Please include a link / url.
