T20080705A-7A--Clarkia williamsonii--RPBG

            Clarkia williamsonii—Fort Miller clarkia. First collected in the vicinity of Fort Miller during the course of the 1853 Railroad Survey led by Lieutenant R. S. Williamson.  The collector was Dr. A. L. Heermann.  The site of Fort Miller now lies at the bottom of Millerton Lake in Fresno County.  Kat Anderson records information from Native American women that this Clarkia was an important food source in the sugar pine forests of the Sierras. The plant is a California endemic that grows from Kern County north to Sierra County. The Consortium of California Herbaria  also shows a disjunct collection from southwestern Shasta County.  Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
