Marin CNPS reported on March 27, 2015
A group of volunteers conducted a ‘Plant Safari’ organized by the M.M.W.D. at Nicasio reservoir on March 27, 2015 in search of some specific plants that were known or expected to be there but had not been collected and GPS coordinates obtained.
One group led by Andrea Williams searched the “Island” area, and the other led by Doreen Smith concentrated on the shores of the reservoir.
Some of the plants seen were Wyethia angustifolia (narrow-leaf mule-ears), Castilleja subinclusa ssp. franciscana (franciscan paintbrush), Lupinus albifrons var. collinus (prostrate silverleaf lupine), Wyethia glabra (large-leaved mule-ears), Fritillaria liliacea (fragrant fritillary), and Fritillaria affinis “var. tristulis” (Pt. Reyes chocolate lily).
