excessively pungent, intoxicating. this one fills the bill (as in snout) and to me, smells of raucous
homecoming when passing through it's zone ... "mountain misery" ... is the less than charitable name,
apparently not cherished by all or "bear clover" ... equally unsatisfying.
i pinch a bit and festoon any spare buttonhole
with a sprig of it to prolong the effect

Not wanting to mistake the forest for a tree, I decided to start here.
Then onwards to:
The Index to California Plant Names (ICPN) includes names from a variety of sources (e.g., specimens, checklists, floras) that have been applied, correctly or incorrectly, to California plants. Approximately 9,400 of 15,000 names presently included in ICPN appeared in The Jepson Manual as accepted names, names of minor variants, or synonyms; most of the remainder have come into use, or come back into use, correctly or incorrectly, since The Jepson Manual.

OjaiLooch, if you haven't yet, you should look into finding your local chapter of the California Native Plant Society. Most chapters devote a fair bit of energy to gardening, sales of natives, etc. Usually tons of very local knowledge and always great outings in the field, too.

8th generation is pretty damn good, LimpingCrab.
I was born in L.A. Both of my parents were born in L.A. On my Dad's side, my Grandfather, my Grandmother, and my Great-Grandfather were born in L.A. My Great-Great-Grandfather was born in San Francisco.
So I'm fifth-generation Californian.
My First-Cousin in Lemoore just became a Great-Grandmother. She's younger than I am, not even fifty yet ( my family tends to get this having kids thing out of our systems at an early age. I was born when my Mom was 17. Mom was done having kids before she was old enough to vote. ). My Cousin's new Great-Grand Daughter marks an eighth generation for my family here.
For native California flora, I got this:
These things won't grow anywhere else but California.

Cool, Chaz! Haven't met many other 8th generation folk.
Great thread by the way, I always carry a few lbs of field guides with me and take note of every species I've identified, wish I would have taken more pictures now! Of course they wouldn't have come out as nice and clear as Ed's, it's a fun game for a botany dork to try to identify his pics without looking at the captions.
