Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia): 3 in site seen, at least 30 on trail seen. Theses Oaks all looked in good shape, but they dropped a large amount of dead leaves on the floor, covering most of the ground around them.
Red Willow (Salix laevigata): 3 in site seen, 14 on trail seen. These trees also looked in good shape, and dropped a minimal amount of leaves.
Black Sage (Salvia mellifera): TMTC on site seen, TMTC on trail seen. These shrubs covered most of the ground at Eaton Canyon, lived in bunches, and looked very dry and dead. There were way too many to count.
Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia littoralis): 1 on site seen, TMTC on trail seen. These cacti usually lived in bunches, but some stood alone. Some had the pear on top, while most did not.
Poison Oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum): 0 on site seen, 4 on trail seen. These are, of course, poisonous, so we stayed away from them.
Bush Sunflower (Encelia californica): 0 on site seen, 5 on trail seen.
Black Mustard (Brassica nigra): 0 on site seen, 10 on trail seen.
Black Cottonwood (Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa): 0 on site seen, 2 on trail seen.
