The California Floristic Province is a world biodiversity hotspot as defined by Conservation International, due to an unusually high concentration of endemic plants: approximately 8,000 plant species in the geographic region, and over 3,400 taxa limited to the CFP proper, as well as having lost over 70% of its primary vegetation. A biodiversity ...
Rosa californica is a common plant native to California. It is primarily found in elevations of below 6,000 feet. It is primarily found in elevations of below 6,000 feet.
