Treebeard's Flora - Woody Plants of the Central Santa Ynez Mountains - the webmaster of this site "treebeard" is very interesting (click on "who is treebeard" to see your typical California family!).  He's got some lovely pictures of many angiosperms that live in a mountainous environment.
There is so much out there, click on some of treebeard's (see above) plant links for just a small sample.
