Notes Glossary
  • Highly localized and often overlooked; many occurrences extirpated. Very rare in Southern California. Possibly threatened by grazing, trampling, non-native plants, alteration of fire regimes, and recreational activities. Potentially threatened by wind energy development. Endangered in OR. See Manual of the Botany of the Region of San Francisco Bay, p. 238 (1894) by E. Greene for original description, and American Midland Naturalist 32:132-163 (1944) for taxonomic treatment.

  • Notes:
      Definitions of codes preceding a county and/or quad:
      * Presumed extirpated
      ? Uncertain about distribution or identity
      ?* Uncertain about distribution, but presumed extirpated if once present
      (?) Occurrence confirmed, but possibly extirpated
      Species may be present in other areas where conditions are favorable.
Quad data is not available for all List 3 and 4 plants. For those that do contain this data, it has not been quality controlled and is potentially incomplete, inaccurate, and/or out of date. Please use caution when referencing this information. We are currently working hard to maintain this data and hope to provide accurate and up to date information in the near future.
