Botany Walking/Driving Tour at California State University, Channel Islands

Saturday March 12, 2022
9am – 1pm
California State University, Channel Islands (CSUCI) near Camarillo, Santa Monica Mtns., Ventura County
Leader: Steve Norris
RSVP on or before March 11, 2022.

Steve Norris will take us on a walking/driving tour of native plant sites around the edges of CSUCI’s campus. We will see common coastal sage scrub and chaparral plants, and most likely the rare Verity’s Dudleya (Dudleya verityi) and Blochman’s Dudleya (Dudleya blochmaniae), members of the succulent Stonecrop family. Some Shooting Star (Primula clevelandii var. clevelandii) may still be present, and possibly Chocolate Lily (Fritillaria biflora var. biflora). Giant Coreopsis (Leptosyne gigantea) should be in full bloom with its showy yellow daisy-like flowers.
