Tag showing location in Salvia dorrii plot. | Photograph taken May 28, 2005.
Hackberry Complex Fire
| 
Before and after photo (warning, large image: 1.8 MB) | The upper photograph was taken on October 15, 2005. It shows my plot in Salvia dorrii after the Hackberry Complex Fire. The lower photograph was taken on May 28, 2005, approximately 4 1/2 months earlier.
| 
Former plot in Salvia dorrii | Photograph taken October 15, 2005. Siting down the centerline of the plot, there were only a few annuals, mostly Senecio, and tap-rooted perennials, such as Verbena gooddingii, and Mirabilis multiflora that survived.
| 
Fiberglas stakes burned by the fire. | Photograph taken October 15, 2005. The stake in the upper left has been pulled up about an inch to expose an unburned portion. The fire burned the plastic resin out of the stakes leaving behind only the glass fibers.

Lamiaceae Salvia dorrii
| 
Insect galls(?) on Salvia dorrii leaves. | Photograph taken May 1999 near Lobo Point.
| 
Nine Salvia dorrii seedlings in my measured plot, Transect 5. | This cluster of seedlings is found in wood from a deceased Buckhorn Cholla (Opuntia acanthocarpa). The most likely source of seed is the Salvia dorrii at right. In the middle background is a Thamnosma montana and an Eriogonum fasciculatum is in the upper right.
| 
S. dorrii with hemiparasite Castilleja (red flowers). | Salvia dorrii with Paintbrush in my measured plot, Transect 5.
| 
An older Salvia dorrii in my measured plot, Transect 5. | The original stem has split into three branches as seen in the photograph at 11-, 2-, and 6-o'clock.
| 
S. dorrii with patches of microphytic soil. | Small Salvia dorrii in my measured plot, Transect 5.
| 
Salvia dorrii seedling, | In in my measured plot, Transect 5.
| 
Salvia dorrii at the 9,000 foot level in the Spring Mountains | I found this plant growing along the Lee Canyon trail on broken limestone. At high elevations, the species tends to be more compact in form. The highest elevation at which I have observed the species is at 10,000 feet in the Schullman Grove of the White Mountains, Inyo County, California.
| 
Wasps(?) pupating in Salvia dorrii | The wasps(?) appeared to have assembled this "nest" from large sand particles glued together with a sticky substance such as sap. The "nest" smelled very stongly of Salvia dorrii. Photograph taken in May 1993 just east of Walker Pass, Kern County, California.
| 
Seedlings in August 2002 | Photograph taken on August 31, 2002. I don't think any of these seedlings have survived.
