	Marah fabaceus Wild Cucumber
		Marah is common in the both the coastal sage shrub and foothill woodland communities.
		Marah is deciduous and in the fall the foliage dies back.
		Marah is often one of the first plants to be seen coming back after a fire.

	Cucurbitaceae (Gourd Family)
		On Montara Mountain, the family is represented by Marah fabaceus (California Manroot) and Marah oreganus (Coast Manroot).
		Marah oreganus (Coast Manroot) has much larger leaves with much more pronounced lobes, the flower stem of the staminate (male) flowers tends to to be very tall, and the fruit is more "melon shaped" and has fewer and softer spines.
		Marah fabaceus (California Manroot) has smaller leaves with that are not as deeply lobed, the flower stem of the staminate (male) flowers tends to to be shorter, and the fruit is much spinier.

		The Manroots or Wild cucumbers are the genus Marah of flowering plants in the gourd family Cucurbitaceae.
		These are perennial plants, growing from a large tuber.
		The name "Marah" comes from a Hebrew word meaning "bitter", and was given because all parts of these plants tend to have a bitter taste.

	Marah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		ONDON It's just before Christmas last year, and the Philadelphia rock 'n' roll band Marah is halfway through a typically ferocious, chaotic and inspirational set when the doors to the right of the stage burst open and a young man staggers in, carrying most of a drum kit.
		He's not Marah's drummer (the band is temporarily without) but he's a drummer, and he owns most of a drum kit, and his appearance allows the band to make an even more glorious and urgent racket than they had managed hitherto.
		Marah may well be headed for commercial oblivion anyway, of course.

		At the main campus, the growing problem of an aging chiller plant was brought to acute status by plans to add a 140,000-sq-ft wing to the main hospital.
		Marah noted that the system could actually deliver substantially colder chilled water, but at the present time the downstream air handlers may not be set up for these colder temperatures.
		As the airside plant is upgraded, or if additional capacity is needed, the chiller can be set for these lower temperatures, with no increase in the pumping requirement.

	Urban Gardens As Native Plant Habitat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		If the gardener wishes to produce a garden with the architecture of a particular plant community, the backyard may be preferable as a place to experiment until the gardener has a better understanding of which trees, shrubs and herbs will dominate, persist or be ephemeral in this backyard vegetative association.
		Plant community architecture implies that species of herbs, small shrubs, tall shrubs and perhaps trees known to grow in vegetative associations in the wild will be planted in natural groupings in the garden.
		Typical plant communities in southern California are coastal sage scrub for hotter, drier locations; chaparral for slightly cooler, dry locations; riparian for wetter, shadier locations, grassland for flat, hot, thin soil locations.

	Climbing Plants of the San Gabriel Mountains
		Vines are a very noticeable part of the vegetation of the foothills, canyons and slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains: in spring with new bright growth, in summer when dripping from trees and providing shady nooks, and in the fall when full of fluffy seeds, large fruits, or colorful leaves.
		Climbers evolved as plants that pushed upwards through the forest or shrubby undergrowth towards the light to find their place in the sun where few other plants can compete.
		When the thread-like seedling stem encounters a host plant it twines around it, then produces haustoria, small knob-like structures that insert themselves in the host and take food from it for the dodder.
