(Continued from page 1) This inventory includes both native and non-native plants located on the Friday Harbor Laboratories Preserve, comprising 484 acres on the east side of San Juan Island, San Juan County. Non-native species (for the purposes of this list, non-native means species not indigenous to San Juan Island) are indicated by an asterisk (*) preceding the scientific name of the plant. An "x" in the spreadsheet columns indicates presence of that plant within a given habitat; the habitats have not been thoroughly surveyed and additions should be expected throughout the year 2005.
