Abstract

Systematized codes for plant names are helpful to a wide variety of workers who must record the identity of plants in the field. We have developed such codes for a majority of the vascular plants encountered on California wildlands and have published the codes in pocket size, using photo-reductions of the output from data processing machines. A limited number of the pocket-guides is available for distribution to field workers from the Director, Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, P.O. Box 245, Berkeley 1, California.
