High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! California native plants are plants that existed in California prior to the arrival of European explorers and colonists in the late 18th century. They grow in the California Floristic Province, a geographical area that covers most of California, portions of neighboring Oregon, Nevada, and Baja California, that is regarded as a 'world hotspot' of biodiversity. California is home to 5,862 species, subspecies, and varieties of native plants. This figure is comparable to all the species in all the other states combined! The Jepson Manual documents the state's ever changing botany statistics. Of California's total plant population, 2,153 species, subspecies, and varieties are endemic and native to California alone. . This botanical diversity stems not only from the size of the state, but also its diverse topographies, climates, and soils (e.g. serpentine outcrops). Numerous plant groupings exist in California, and botanists work to structure them into identifiable ecoregions, plant communities, vegetation types, and habitats, and taxonomies.
