NECKTIE BASIN: Hanging basin ca 470-830 m W of
Warm Springs Mtn summit. These collections from ca
600-800 m WSW of summit. Warm Springs Mtn 7.5'
USGS Quadrangle; T6N R16W (sections not
demarcated). Near 34°35'35.5"N 118o35'07.5"W.
Elevation ca 3480-3530 feet.
More-or-less flat-bottomed basin of cobbly and gravelly
sedimentary soil. Slopes recovering from bum of 4-5 years
earlier; mostly chaparral elements on slopes. Of note are dead
remains of Juniperus califomica throughout the lower portions
of the basin which have not survived the fire and do not appear
to be regenerating. Basin heavily infested with annual, non-
native grasses which may have carried the fire and intensified its
effects against the original juniper community.
Locally abundant suffrutescent perennial, mostly 3-4 dm
tall locally; disk and ray flowers golden-yellow.
