Endangered Plants
Lichens are symbiotic associations of a fungus (the mycobiont) with a photosynthetic partner (the photobiont also known as the phycobiont) that can produce food for the lichen from sunlight. The photobiont is usually either green alga or cyanobacterium.
Baker's larkspur (Delphinium bakeri) is a perennial herb in the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). It is an endangered species native to California (USA), the current single known population being estimated at 35 individuals.
Hickman’s potentilla (Potentilla hickmanii) is an endangered perennial herb of the rose family. This rare plant species is found in a narrowly restricted range in coastal northern California, primarily along a confined location of northern Monterey County, secondarily in extremely small colonies in San Mateo County and Sonoma County.
