Proposed Species

False Burnet Rosaceae
Acaena pinnatifida
Seed collected August 2000 Twin Peaks
Coastal Onion Liliaceae
Allium dichlamydeum
To go with the lily garden/rock garden. Collected a few seeds from Twin Peaks August
2000 but most already fell out.
Pale Serviceberry Rosaceae
Amelanchier pallida
Occurs on Twin Peaks, R&P found it "difficult" to grow (probably from seed). Try
cuttings, I would expect it to be easy that way.
California Pipevine Aristolchiaceae
Aristolochia californica
Only a few small populations in San Francisco. We're on the waiting list to get some.
I'm propagating tons of it from an unknown source in my garden, I wonder how
variable it is genetically?
Coastal Sagebrush Asteraceae
Artemisia californica
Cuttings collected 4-2000, some successful.
Mugwort Asteraceae
Artemisia douglasiana
Chilean Aster Asteraceae
Aster chilensis
Seed from twin peaks spread but no results, try again from nursery grown stock.
Seed collected from Montara Mountain, August 2000
California Brome Poaceae
Bromus carinatus
Seed collected August 2000, Edgehill Mountain.
Sedge Poaceae
Carex sp.
Locate seed/cutting source for local species. Sept, 2000 I noticed a healthy clump
below Marges Ferns. I wonder if this was a Luzula that sneaked in or was it existing?
I'm sure this wasn't on the list.
California Lilac Rhamnaceae
Ceanothus thyrsiflorus
For the sunny bank above "The Wall"
Seed collected from Montara Mountain, August 2000
Mouse-Eared Chickweed Caryophyllaceae
Cerastium arvense
Would be happy on steep coastal slopes.
California Hazelnut Betulaceae
Corylus cornuta
Would be nice where the trees will likeley remain in the background.
Liveforever Crassulaceae
Dudleya
I'm growing some of the silver leafed type from seed very sucessfully. A few broken
stems were planted from just downslope.
Blue Wild Rye Poaceae
Elymus glaucus
Experiment with it for aggressive competition with ivy & erharta.
Checker Lily Liliaceae
Fritillaria lanceolata
Collected seed from Twin Peaks 5-5-2000 LCR will grow them.

Seeds in flats fall 1999 from Twin Peaks -only one survived More collected August
2000
Cow Parsnip Apiaceae
Heracleum lantanum
Seeds collected from Twin Peaks Fall 1999
San Bruno Elfin Lycaenidae

Not sure if it exists on Twin Peaks nearby… Sedum would certainly do well there
though.
Douglas Iris Iridaceae
Iris douglasii
Seeds sprouting in flats from Twin Peaks & Mount Davidson fall 1999
Hairy Honeysuckle Caprifoliaceae
Lonicera hispidua
Get some to replace the invasive-exotic Japanese Honeysuckle that someone planted
surreptitiously.

Thrives nearby at Laguna Honda with blackberries in huge, dense brambles.

Monardella villosa
Monardella villosa ssp. Franciscana, Coyote Mint. Seed collected August 2000, Twin

scent, usually the minty flavor is more medicinal than flavorful.
