Rara Flora

photo by Greg Hofmann

7/5/2005: This unassuming little blossom is actually something of a big deal. A hitherto unrecorded population of this rare orchid, Yadon's Piperia (Piperia yadonii) was recently discovered on the Renteria property by ESF staff. The location of these plants will be reported to the California Natural Diversity Database. This species is found only in Monterey county and is federally listed as endangered.
