ABSTRACT: The author has compiled an extensive bibliography containing literature pertinent to the floristics of southern California derived from his personal library and that of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. Part 1 in the previous issue contains literature pertinent to the entire region of southern California. Part 2 contains literature pertinent to local, named areas of southern California, and Part 3 lists ongoing and floristic projects for vascular plants. Southern California Botanists, Inc. have made the entire bibliography available as a word-searchable file for downloading on the internet, at their website address http://www.socalbot.org.

KEYWORDS: bibliography, floristics, southern California.

Part 1 of this bibliography, which includes literature pertinent to all of southern California can be found in the previous issue. This Part 2 includes literature whose titles contain the names of specific counties, mountain ranges, offshore islands, state or national parks and monuments, national forests, ecological reserves, deserts, desert dunes and basins, or other smaller areas. When the location was not clear from the title, I have added location information in square brackets. As stated in Part 1, southern California here is delimited much as in A Flora of Southern California (Munz 1974): from Point Conception, Santa Barbara County, eastward along the crests of such mountain ranges as the Santa Ynes, Mt. Pinos, Tehachapi, and Piute, thence northward to little Lake and along the eastern slopes of the Inyo and White mountains to the Deep Springs region. In some instances local floras north or west of these limits in Santa Barbara, Kern, and Inyo counties have been included as useful, as have those of adjacent areas of California, Nevada, Arizona, and Baja California.

Authors, of course, are listed alphabetically and their contributions chronologically. Where the author or authors have not specified the family of vascular plants or the county, mountain range, desert, etc. involved, I have added them parenthetically to make it easier for readers to find the family or the county, mountain range, or other area of interest to them.

Part 3 of this bibliography is a list of the current or projected floristic projects for southern California counties and adjacent Baja California with the botanists primarily involved. Again this list may be incomplete and subject to additions or deletions.
