Molecular phylogenetic studies spanning the flora indicate that immediate sources of CA-FP lineages bearing endemic species diversity have been mostly within North America—especially within the west and southwest—even for groups of north temperate affinity, and that most diversification of extant lineages in the CA-FP has occurred since the mid-Miocene, with the transition toward summer-drying. Process-focused studies continue to implicate environmen- tal heterogeneity at local or broad geographic scales in evolutionary diver- gence within the CA-FP, often associated with reproductive or life-history shifts or sometimes hybridization.

    Checklist of Ventura County Rare Plants (Twenty-second Edition) CNPS, Rare Plant Program David L. Magney Checklist of Ventura County Rare Plants1 By David L. Magney California Native Plant Society, Rare Plant Program, Locally Rare Project Updated 4 January 2017 Ventura County is located in southern California, USA, along the east edge of the Pacific Ocean. The coastal portion occurs along the south and southwestern quarter of the County. Ventura County is bounded by Santa Barbara County on the west, Kern County on the north, Los Angeles County on the east, and the Pacific Ocean generally on the south (Figure 1, General Location Map of Ventura County). Ventura County extends north to 34.9014ºN latitude at the northwest corner of the County. The County extends westward at Rincon Creek to 119.47991ºW longitude, and eastward to 118.63233ºW longitude at the west end of the San Fernando Valley just north of Chatsworth Reservoir. The mainland portion of the County reaches southward to 34.04567ºN latitude between Solromar and Sequit Point west of Malibu. When including Anacapa and San Nicolas Islands, the southernmost extent of the County occurs at 33.21ºN latitude and the westernmost extent at 119.58ºW longitude, on the south side and west sides of San Nicolas Island, respectively. Ventura County occupies 480,996 hectares [ha] (1,188,562 acres [ac]) or 4,810 square kilometers [sq. km] (1,857 sq. miles [mi]), which includes Anacapa and San Nicolas Islands. The mainland portion of the county is 474,852 ha (1,173,380 ac), or 4,748 sq.

    Legally Listed Species of the California Central Coast Region (U S Fish and Wildlife Service and /or the State of California) (Monterey, San Benito, San Luis Obispo, western Kern, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties) The following taxa, in alphabetical order by scientific name, are listed either by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Endangered Species Act) or by the State of California, Department of Fish and Wildlife, Natural Diversity Database. A comprehensive list for the State of California is updated quarterly by the California Natural Diversity Database. [Special Vascular Plants, Bryophytes, and Lichens List.] The distribution of these species has been documented for California’s central coast region from Monterey and San Benito counties south to Ventura County, and including western Kern County. Scientific names are those used in Baldwin et. al., 2012, The Jepson Manual: vascular plants of California, UC Press, Berkeley. Where nomenclature has changed from the name used initially in the listing process, they are referenced to the current name (e.g., Arabis hoffmannii = Boechera hoffmannii). Listing Status FE = federally endangered (Endangered Species Act, 1973 as amended) FT = federally threatened (Endangered Species Act, 1973 as amended) SE = state endangered (California Endangered Species Act; Fish and Game Code §2050 et seq.) ST = state threatened (California Endangered Species Act; Fish and Game Code §2050 et seq.) SR = state rare (California Native Plant Protection Act; Fish and Game Code §1900 et seq.).

PLANNING AREA: The GCP Planning Area is shown in Figure 1. The area generally encompasses the Santa Maria Valley, San Antonio Creek Watershed, Lompoc Valley, Santa Ynez Valley, and a portion of the Santa Barbara Coastline. COVERED ACTIVITIES: The GCP covers geophysical exploration (seismic), development, extraction, storage, transport, remediation, and/or distribution of crude oil, natural gas, and/or other petroleum products and construction, maintenance, operation, repair, and decommissioning of oil and gas pipelines and well field infrastructure. COOPERATORS: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and individual oil and gas project proponents engaged in exploration, development, extraction, or transport of crude oil, natural gas, and/or petroleum products. TAKE: The Service will use the following means to estimate the amount of take that is likely to occur to each of the species covered in the permit: California tiger salamander: The Service is using number of acres of California tiger salamander habitat disturbed as a surrogate for the number of individuals in order to estimate the amount of take that is likely to occur (Section 4).

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are removing the textual descriptions of critical habitat boundaries from those designations for plants for which the maps have been determined to be sufficient to stand as the official delineation of critical habitat. For these entries, the boundaries of critical habitat as mapped or otherwise described will be the official delineation of the designation. The coordinates and/or plot points that we are removing from the Code of Federal Regulations will be available to the public at the lead field office of the Service responsible for the designation and online at the Federal eRulemaking Portal. This action does not increase, decrease, or otherwise change the boundaries of any critical habitat designation. We are taking this action in accordance with our May 1, 2012, revision of the regulations related to publishing textual descriptions of critical habitat boundaries in the Code of Federal Regulations and as part of our response to Executive Order 13563 (Jan. 18, 2011) directing Federal agencies to review their existing regulations and then to modify or streamline them in accordance with what they learned.

We (the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) publish recovery plans, sometimes preparing them with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and other affected and interested parties. Recovery teams serve as independent advisors to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Draft recovery plans are published for public review and submitted to scientific peer review before we adopt them. Objectives of the recovery plan will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not obligate other parties to undertake specific recovery actions and do not necessarily represent the view, official position, or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formation other than our own. They represent our official position only after they have been signed by the Director, Regional Director, or California/Nevada Operations Manager as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as directed by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions. Literature Citation should read as follows: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 2003. Draft Recovery Plan for Deinandra conjugens (Otay Tarplant). Portland, Oregon. xi + 51 pp. An electronic version of this recovery plan will also be made available at http://pacific.fws.gov/ecoservices/endangered/recovery/default.htm and at http://endangered.fws.gov/recovery/index.html#plans.
