about this workshop
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
There are 185 188! families of native, naturalized, and non-native vascular plants included in the second
edition of The Jepson Manual and online Jepson eFlora. This three-day workshop, designed for beginning botanists
interested in learning the California flora, will help participants recognize some of California’s most common plant
families. Lectures and lab activities will emphasize the characteristics that are most useful for family identification, and
group keying will build fluency and confidence with using the second edition of The Jepson Manual. The workshop will
be indoors, working with fresh and dried plants collected from various field locations. This workshop will not involve
field identification or collection of plants.
A general familiarity with morphological terms is helpful but not required; these will be briefly reviewed during
the introductory Friday session. There will be a pre-workshop reading assignment, which will assist in providing familiarity with (or review of) technical terms.
Participants will receive a dissecting kit and will use a dissecting microscope during lab sessions; previous dissecting and/or microscope experience is helpful but not necessary. Students must attend all three days of the workshop, because the introductory materials for each part of the workshop will establish the foundation for the following
sessions. The workshop will be moderately fast paced and will meet from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
goals
why are we doing this?
We love the California flora! All of it, the natives, the nonnatives, and the naturalized parts. We want you to love it too.
what will you learn?
Improved plant identification skills, vocabulary, and family characteristics of plants included in the second edition of The Jepson Manual
how will you learn it?
Reviewing California plant families, group keying with lots
of practice using TJM2, asking questions and learning from each other, and identifying resources
that suit your taxonomic preferences.

about bioregions
Vegetation Bioregions are an excellent way to confirm that you’ve keyed a plant to the correct species; if the description of the parts of California where the plant occurs doesn’t include your bioregion, you’ve probably misidentified
the plant. (It’s possible that your identification is correct and it’s a range extension: in this case you should make a
lovely and complete collection and send it to an herbarium with a note.) Many regions have similar flora, but lots of
fine-scale differences, so know your bioregion! BerkeleyMapper has some excellent online map overlays so you can
pinpoint your bioregion, but generally a rough idea is accurate enough.
CALIFORNIA FLORISTIC PROVINCE
Northwestern California Region: Island chains that collided with California from 260 to 130mya.
North Coast: True coastal vegetation; from Oregon border to Bodega Bay. Includes Fort Bragg, Arcata. Vegetation is
coastal prairie, coastal marsh, coastal scrub, closed-cone-pine/cypress forest, and grand-fir/Sitka spruce forest. Klamath Ranges: This area consists of old intrusive igneous and metamorphic rocks and many serpentine and ultramafic veins. The ultramafic rocks lead to serpentine barrens, meadows, and scrubland. Otherwise, the Klamath Ranges
are dominated by forests with more conifer species than anywhere else in the world. Includes Trinity Alps, Yreka,
Mount Eddy
North Coast Range Outer: High rainfall and fog supports redwood, mixed evergreen, and mixed-hardwood forests.
Includes Humboldt Redwoods, Redwood National Park, Willits, Healdsburg, and Santa Rosa.
North Coast Range Highlands: This area is floristically similar to the Sierra Nevada Highlands - there are montane and
subalpine mixed conifer forests. There are also mountains over 2000m, leading to heavy snowpack and peaks above
treeline. Includes most of the Mendocino National Forest.
North Coast Range Inland: Low rainfall and hot dry summers result in a vegetation types dominated by chaparral
and pine-oak woodland. Serpentine is common here, resulting in many serpentine barrens, meadows, and scrubland.
Includes Clear Lake, Lake Berryessa, Ukiah, Potter Valley
Cascade Ranges Region: Andesite volcanos that began to erupt 7 mya.
High Cascade Range: Vegetation boundaries between this range and the Modoc Plateau are unclear; sagebrush
steppe and juniper woodland are found in patches throughout the region. Otherwise, the area is dominated by
ponderosa pine, montane fir and pine, and lodgepole-pine forests. Includes Mount Shasta, Mount Lassen, McCloud
Highlands, and west Lake Shasta.
Cascade Range Foothills: This region is mostly chaparral and blue oak/foothill pine woodland. It includes East Lake
Shasta, Paradise, and Redding.
Great Central Valley Region: Sediment eroded from the mountains that predated the Sierra Nevada, 100 to 66 mya.
Sacramento Valley: Grasslands, farmland,marshes, vernal pools, riparian woodlands, alkali sinks, valley oak stands.
Red Bluff, Chico, Sacramento, Davis, Willows, Vacaville, Fairfield. So many weeds. San Joaquin Valley: Grasslands, farmland, marshes, vernal pools, riparian woodlands, alkali sinks, valley oak stands,
and desert. Stockton, Fresno, Bakersfield, Coalinga. Even more weeds.
Sierra Nevada Region: Uplift of granitic batholiths from beneath ancient volcanos. Batholiths became mountain range
10 mya.
Sierra Nevada Foothills: Blue-oak/foothill pine woodlands, chaparral, occasional serpentine.
North Sierra Nevada Foothills: Lake Oroville, Auburn, Folsom, Placerville.
South Sierra Nevada Foothills: Lake Isabella, Lake Success
Central Sierra Nevada Foothills: Red Hills Area, Sonora, Mariposa
High Sierra Nevada: Lower elevations have forests with giant sequoia, ponderosa pine, and white fir. Higher elevations have forests of red fir, Jeffery pine, and lodgepole pine. Subalpine forests have whitebark pine and mountain
hemlock, and true alpine areas are treeless.
North Sierra Nevada Highlands: Lake Tahoe, Quincy, Nevada City, Truckee.
Central Sierra Nevada Highlands: Yosemite, Mammoth Lakes
South Sierra Nevada Highlands: Kings Canyon National Park, Sequoia National Park
Tehachapi Mountains Area: This area is a mish-mash of the surrounding floras; the Great Valley, the high Sierra Nevada and the Sierra Nevada Foothills, desert regions, and the Western Transverse range. Most vegetation is mixed
woodland or grassland. It includes Castaic Lake.
Central Western California Region: Island chains that collided with California from 260 to 130 mya.
Central Coast: Near Monterey, it is only as far inland as the coastal bluffs, but in other regions (including the Bay
Area) it includes salt marshes, coastal prairie, coastal-sage scrub. and chaparral. San Francisco, Point Reyes National
Seashore, Bodega Bay, Monterey coast.
SF Bay: Vegetation includes wet redwood forest, dry oak/pine woodland, and chaparral. Includes Mount Tamalpais,
Mount Diablo, Gilroy, Walnut Creek, Berkeley Hills.
South Coast Ranges Subregion: Island chains that collided with California from 260 to 130 mya.
Inner South Coast Ranges: Mostly blue-oak/foothill pine woodland, juniper woodland, chaparral, and elements of
desert scrub. Incles Pinnacles National Monument and the Hollister Hills.
Outer South Coast Ranges: Small stands of redwood, mixed-evergreen forest, oak forest, blue-oak/foothill pine woodland, chaparral, and montane conifers at high elevations. Includes Paso Robles and Cachuma Lake.
Southwestern California Region: Island chains that collided with California from 260 to 130 mya, rotated 90 degrees
by tectonic activity.
South Coast: Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego
Channel Islands: Coastal-sage scrub, chaparral vegetation; floristically distinct due to frequent isolation by higher sea
levels. Includes Channel Islands State Park, Catalina Island
Western Transverse Range: Chaparral, oak forest, montane white fir, incense cedar, Jeffery pine, lodgepole pine, and
sugar pine forests. Includes Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Ritter Ranch, the Angeles National Forest, Mount San Antonio and the San Bernadino National Forest.
Penninsular Ranges: Well developed montane and subalpine forests; high degree of floristic endemism. Includes Escondito and most of the Cleveland National Forest.
GREAT BASIN PROVINCE:
Tectonic expansion resulting in narrow mountain chains with alternating flat valleys; rocks are primarily metamorphosed igneous and sedimentary. 30 mya.
Sierra Nevada East: Sagebrush steppe, pinyon/juniper woodland, cottonwood dominated riparian vegetation, Jeffreypine forest, subalpine/fir forest, and alpine vegetation. Includes Mono Lake and Bishop. White and Inyo Mountains: Subalpine bristlecone pine and limber-pine woodlands and treeless alpine vegetation.
Includes White Mountain and Waucoba Mountain.
Modoc Plateau: Juniper woodland and sagebrush steppe, with occasional ponderosa pine and Jeffery-pine forest.
Includes Alturas, Lava Beds National Monument, Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge
Warner Mountains: Sagebrush steppe, Jeffery pine and ponderosa pine forests, alpine meadows, fens, and floating
bogs. Includes Eagle Peak and Blue Lake.
DESERT PROVINCE:
Mojave Desert Region: Tectonic expansion resulting in narrow mountain chains with alternating flat valleys; rocks are
primarily metamorphosed igneous and sedimentary. 30 mya.
Mojave Desert: Vegetation is primarily Joshua tree and Mojave yucca. Includes Barstow, Twentynine Palms, Death
Valley.
Desert Mountains: Pinyon/juniper woodland, locations include Telescope Peak, the Panamint, and the Grapevine

NAMES!
What do all those scientific names mean?
Scientific names are information. The point is effective communication in a hierarchical
system - and it has to work for written and oral communication for today, for the future, and it has
to be consistent with previous publications [the past]. So there are some rules - this is science!

Eschscholzia Cham.*
Eschscholzia californica Cham.
IAPT 18.1. The name of a family is a plural adjective used as a noun; it is formed from the genitive singular of a name
of an included genus by replacing the genitive singular inflection (Latin -ae, -i, -us, -is; transcribed Greek -ou, -os, -es,
-as, or -ous, and its equivalent -eos) with the termination -aceae (but see Art. 18.5 [nomen alternativum]).
Scientific and common names provide details about plants - look at the TJM2 INDEX and you
will start recognizing some common elements:

Names can be formed from compound words of any language! [TJM2 includes etymology for genera in treatments,
and there are a lot of great online resources.] Ziziphus zizyphus (L.) H. Karst. (Rhamnaceae) [p. 1165]
In TJM2 the scientific names of Native California Taxa, naturalized plants and waifs, and
uncertain status taxa are identified by type face. Symbols are used to indicate status:  indicates a native plant listed by CNPS,   indicate invasive non-native taxa listed by CDFG or
CalIPC.
How do you pronounce that name?
When in doubt, sound it out! Pronounce all the syllables. The emphasis is usually on the
second-to-last syllable.
BE BOLD! Botanical Latin [and Greek!] is a modern technical language practiced and used
by botanists. There are very few ways to mess it up. It always helps to key out loud and practice
saying scientific names. Practice helps with pronunciation and with remembering new plant names!
The 1993 TJM has a great, and short, discussion about pronounciation of scientific names [pp.
11–12]. Give #7 a try!
Proper names [people and places] keep their original pronunciation for the “radical”, austin-i-ae, dales-iana, douglas - sii, eastwood-ae, jepson-ii, menzies-ii, nuttall - ii, trask-i-ae, whipple-ii, laxman[n]-iaceae, linnae -aceae, scheuchzer-iaceae, simmonds-iaceae, zannichelli-aceae.
PRACTICE!

Instructions for downloading the Digital TJM2 to supported devices [www.ucpress.edu/content/instructions/digital_jepson_download_instrux.pdf]. The Digital Jepson is in EPUB ebook format.
Depending on your device, operating system, and preferred notetaking - there are different options and third party applications to digitally mark up an ebook, save your annotations, and export notes as files. As with any digital text, it is
definitely user preference for reading, updating with errata and Revision 1, use in the field, and annotating.
What is new in TJM2? A lot!
You will notice some changes from the 1993 TJM in the new TJM2. Flowering times have been added to descriptions
in TJM2 from hyperlinked specimen data in the Consortium of California Herbaria http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/consortium/. Horticultural information is not included in TJM2 but is still available from the 1993TJM at the online Jepson
Horticultural Database http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/db/horticulture/
Geographical subdivisions for the California Floristic Province have been updated since the 1993 TJM- plates are the
first page and pg 44 in TJM2. Explanation pgs 35-48. Hierarchical outline of subdivisions on pg 42. Online http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/IJM_geography.html.
The Jepson eFlora treatments include full descriptions, links to the Online Interchange, elevation, bioregions in which the
taxon occurs, georeferenced accessions through BerkeleyMapper 2.0 http://berkeleymapper.berkeley.edu/ and links
to specimens in the Consortium of California Herbaria.

How do updates and changes get made?
ERRATA
What is a stipe? Look on pg 33 of the TJM2 Botanical Glossary pgs 17-34 refers you to the illustration on pg 29. But
wait! You say to yourself. The TJM2 glossary only refers to Ferns in the key to Group 3 (pg 74) and family descriptions
pgs 113-134. And you are not looking at a fern, you are looking at stipes in Eriogonum (genus description and keys,
pg 1083-1092. Eriogonum diclinum description pg 1096, illustration 1097)! No worries, the online Jepson eFlora Botanical glossary has been updated to reflect the different usage of this term for Ferns and Polygonaceae [http://ucjeps.
berkeley.edu/IJM_glossary.html].
Discover additional errors, issues, additions, or corrections for TJM2? online Errata for TJM2 is available at http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/JM12_errata.html or contact Dr. Tom Rosatti rosatti@ berkeley.edu.
REVISIONS
Since the publication of the second edition some treatments have been revised and published in the first supplement.
These are incorporated into the Jepson eFlora and available as a separate PDF for adding to your digital library.

what is a key
GENERAL APPROACH TO KEYING IN TJM2 and the JEPSON eFLORA
keys are meant to be used, not followed
A dichotomous key is a series of increasingly selective choices within couplets (pairs of leads) until
you reach an identifying name for your plant specimen. Keys to families use characters that are
diagnostic for large groups. Describing your plant before keying is helpful, as these general characteristics are repeated in keys. See the Keying Worksheets for some guidelines for taking notes.
The choice between two leads can sometimes use a singular character that describes a particular
California plant family. These singular characters can allow you to key efficiently - in some cases go
straight to the group, family, or genus key. Do you have anthers fused in a tube around the twoparted style? You probably have Asteraceae.
Treatments in TJM2 are meant to be a used as a field guide to vascular plants - and so the keys are
written with characters that are recognizable in the field. This means YOU WILL NEED a 20× magnification hand lens. Additional characters are included in descriptions (range, elevation, flowering
time) that help with identification. Other characteristics (chromosome counts, molecular studies)
contribute to species delimitation but are impossible to actually use in the field. Read the family,
genus, AND species descriptions for full characteristics when keying!
Read couplets in order [left to right]. Key leads are supposed to present the most obvious and
clear cut character choices first. They are also ordered proximal to distal.
To save space, TJM2 uses abbreviations and symbols. Think of it as a densely coded text. Abbreviations and Symbols pp. 13–15. Symbols [http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/TJM2_symbols.html]. Abbreviations are not used in the online Jepson eFlora. Why not?
Everything is “gen” [generally]. That is, keys present characters that are most common, obvious,
and likely to be encountered in the field. Read descriptions to get an of common characteristics
for family/genus keys, and look for additional characteristics for species to provide confirmation
of identification. Remember that characters addressed in family descriptions are not repeated in
genus descriptions, and characters addressed in genus descriptions are not repeated in species
descriptions if generally true. Exceptions to the general condition are included in the descriptions.
Can’t decide which lead to choose? Try going both ways in the key! There are multiple options
to successfully key. Choose one key lead and follow it to taxon, then go back and pick the other
couplet lead at the point of confusion. See if the resulting identification helps exclude one of the
leads. TIP - if you aren’t having success with the key at a difficult couplet, go back up to the previous couplet and try again. Still confused? Go back to the beginning and try again. It is easy to skip
a couplet or a character and be led astray.
TJM2 is written for plants WITH reproductive parts available. It is not impossible to key out a vegetative terrestrial plant lacking flowers or fruit using TJM2 - you will need to rely on additional resources or try again at another time. Plant material in hand may not have the necessary flowering
AND mature fruiting material required. However, the keys are artificial - which means that it may
be impossible to encounter all included characteristics of keys in real plants.
