September 22, 2014 Delinda Robinson Monterey County Resource Management Agency Planning Department 168 W. Alisal Street, 2nd Floor Salinas, CA 93901 [email protected] Re: California Flats Solar Project – PLN120294; SCH#2013041031 Draft Environmental Impact Report Dear Ms. Robinson: California Flats Solar, LLC (Applicant), a wholly owned subsidiary of First Solar, Inc., hereby provides to the County of Monterey (County) its written comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the California Flats Solar Project (Project), issued by the County on August 6, 2014. Our written comments consist of both this letter and the documents contained in the attachments, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. At the outset, we thank County staff and the County’s consultant, Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon), for their hard work in compiling and preparing this Draft EIR in support of the Project. We also appreciate the significant public outreach efforts and agency consultation that has been conducted for the Draft EIR by the County under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). We have provided our comments in the two attached tables, which are organized by chapter and section in the Draft EIR. The first table, “Table 1 – Comments,” contains substantive comments on specific issues in the Draft EIR for the County’s consideration. Please note that we have included three (3) figures as part of our comments that relate to certain comments in Table 1. The second table, “Table 2 – Errata,” contains factual and typographical revisions that should be incorporated in the Final EIR. We have also attached two golden eagle survey reports for 2014 which provide nest surveys and on- going survey data for golden eagle within a ten mile radius of the Project site, and a 2013 scent dog survey report assessing the presence of San Joaquin kit fox on the Project site. -

Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese -

How Many of Cassini Anagrams Should There Be? Molecular
TAXON 59 (6) • December 2010: 1671–1689 Galbany-Casals & al. • Systematics and phylogeny of the Filago group How many of Cassini anagrams should there be? Molecular systematics and phylogenetic relationships in the Filago group (Asteraceae, Gnaphalieae), with special focus on the genus Filago Mercè Galbany-Casals,1,3 Santiago Andrés-Sánchez,2,3 Núria Garcia-Jacas,1 Alfonso Susanna,1 Enrique Rico2 & M. Montserrat Martínez-Ortega2 1 Institut Botànic de Barcelona (CSIC-ICUB), Pg. del Migdia s.n., 08038 Barcelona, Spain 2 Departamento de Botánica, Facultad de Biología, Universidad de Salamanca, 37007 Salamanca, Spain 3 These authors contributed equally to this publication. Author for correspondence: Mercè Galbany-Casals, [email protected] Abstract The Filago group (Asteraceae, Gnaphalieae) comprises eleven genera, mainly distributed in Eurasia, northern Africa and northern America: Ancistrocarphus, Bombycilaena, Chamaepus, Cymbolaena, Evacidium, Evax, Filago, Logfia, Micropus, Psilocarphus and Stylocline. The main morphological character that defines the group is that the receptacular paleae subtend, and more or less enclose, the female florets. The aims of this work are, with the use of three chloroplast DNA regions (rpl32-trnL intergenic spacer, trnL intron, and trnL-trnF intergenic spacer) and two nuclear DNA regions (ITS, ETS), to test whether the Filago group is monophyletic; to place its members within Gnaphalieae using a broad sampling of the tribe; and to investigate in detail the phylogenetic relationships among the Old World members of the Filago group and provide some new insight into the generic circumscription and infrageneric classification based on natural entities. Our results do not show statistical support for a monophyletic Filago group. -
