*"Worth more than gold: A vascular flora of the southern Inyo Mountains,
Inyo County, CA"*

Talk Description
The Inyo Mountains in Inyo County, California, are situated in a regionally
important transition zone where the Great Basin Desert and Mojave Desert
bioregions meet. Much of this arid mountain range remains poorly documented
and extensive work is needed to assess the vascular plant diversity via a
specimen-based study. In particular, the southern extent of the range had
been lacking in botanical collections despite an abundance of distinctive
biogeographic features and high diversity in rare and endemic plant
species. Much of this ecologically intact and nearly roadless area is
urgently threatened by gold mining which would impact numerous rare plant
species and culturally important plant populations. Vascular plant
specimens were collected between July 2018 and April 2021 and will form the
basis of a published floristic study including an annotated checklist. A
total of 360 minimum rank vascular plant taxa were documented during this
study. Of these, 26 are possible edaphic endemics and 30 are listed as rare
in California. In addition to reviewing these findings, I will also discuss
how conducting place-based research afforded a unique opportunity to inform
conservation action.

Bio
Maria Jesus is a master’s student at California Botanic Garden/Claremont
Graduate University where she is completing a vascular flora of the
southern Inyo Mountains. Thanks to a chance encounter with a plant
identification course during her undergraduate English
studies, Maria abandoned plans to become a librarian and found her way to
field botany. Just prior to graduate school, she managed a multi-agency
vegetation monitoring program aimed at informing adaptive management of
public lands. Maria is a Switzer Fellow (2019) and a Gloria Barron Scholar
(2020) and is passionate about advancing native plant conservation.
