This was just a quick 1-hour hop on the Hagen Canyon Nature Trail at Red Rock Canyon State Park on the way back from my field trip to Kern County. Red Rock Canyon is on CA-14 approximately 25 miles north of Mojave. A preliminary flora of Red Rock Canyon by former Ranger Mark Faull is online here. Aside from its wildflowers, it is also a significant paleontological area with fossils dating back 8-10 million years which when I was a volunteer at the La Brea Tar Pits I visited several times on Museum-sanctioned fossil hunts. An upside-down V next to the common name indicates a taxon that was new to me when I photographed it on this field trip, and an asterisk denotes a non-native species.
