Hi Bill,

Yes.

I will demonstrate my geographical ignorance by asking if the San Gabriel
mountains are in what is called the Pacific Northwest? If so, there is an
excellent listserve for PNW native plants and i bet you could find many
useful references. At the worst, there are undoubtedly members of the
listserve who know of good resources for the area you are researching.

I no longer have the address for the listserve, but search for 'Allyn
Weeks' in the rec.gardens and/or r.g.ecosystems ngs, she runs the PNW
natives listserve.

Good luck,
