This area to the north of Big Bear Lake lies in a
primarily yellow pine forest, and is the center for a number of endemic species
in the San Bernardino Mountains. Many
of these are variants of more common taxa in the Sierra Nevada and other
California mountains. Three rare
species occur here, Taraxacum californicum, Lesquerella kingii ssp.
bernardina, and Phlox dolichantha. Integrity: The
development of summer housing on both the private and federal land in the area,
particularly close to the lake, has altered the status of the endemic flora.
The impact of this is unknown. Portions
remain relatively undisturbed. Use: The
undisturbed yellow pine forest areas should be completely surveyed to determine
what remains and the protective steps necessary. January 1975
