Without the help of many individuals and organizations this publication would not have been possible. The following photographers gave permission for us to use their excellent illustrations from the Richfield Oil Corporation’s annual Wild Flowers of the West:

Trilochan S. Bakshi, Pullman, Wash. • Violet Beitzel, Howard & Frances Daniels, McMinnville, Ore. • R. J. Fisher, Lancaster, Calif. • Robert C. Frampton, Claremont, Calif. • Everett S. Frost, El Monte, Calif. • Jack Hausotter, Roseburg, Ore. • Mary Hood, Los Angeles, Calif. • Mr. & Mrs. Ellis Kimble, Boise, Ida. • E. N. Kozloff, Portland, Ore. • Martin Litton, Menlo Park, Calif. • W. L. Martin, Bend, Ore. • D. C. Morgenson, Yosemite Natl. Park, Calif. • Peter Neely, Los Angeles, Calif. • Ricky Quedans, Los Angeles, Calif. • G. Thomas Robbins, Oakland, Calif. • Allen L. Ryan, San Fernando, Calif. • Brooking Tatum, Palo Alto, Calif. • Darwin Tiemann, China Lake, Calif. • Harry Vroman, Prescott, Ariz. • V. E. Ward, Angels Camp, Calif. • Charles S. Webber, San Leandro, Calif. Louis C. Wheeler, Altadena, Calif. • Violet Wooden, Fortuna, Calif.

Flower names and illustrations were checked for accuracy by Dr. Carl Sharsmith, Dr. Helen Sharsmith, Dr. Herbert Mason and Mrs. Enid M. Benson. Jepson’s A Manual of the Flowering Plants of California (University of California Press, 1925) was consulted for additional scientific data.

Gratitude is expressed to Hixson And Jorgensen, Inc. and to Stecher-Traung Lithograph Corporation for their interest and willing assistance.

To Mary Curry Tresidder, whose interest and love of Sierran wild flowers has extended over a lifetime, this booklet is dedicated.
