We, Carla and Fred are exploring the Anza-Borrego Desert since 2007 and are hiking almost daily in often remote area's.

In 2015 we started mapping Carlowrightia arizonica and Xylorhiza orcuttii and found that rare doesn't actually equals low numbers
A rare plants is often confined to a specific area and isn't usually found outside that area.
Here is our list of rare plants:
Carlowrightia arizonica
Ericameria teretifolia - Green rabbitbrush
Horsfordia newberryi - Newberry's velvet mallow
Xylorhiza orcuttii - Orcutt's woody-aster
