Sierra Azul Wildflower Guide
WILDFLOWER SURVEY 100 most common species 1 2/25/2020 COMMON WILDFLOWER GUIDE 2019 This common wildflower guide is for use during the annual wildflower survey at Sierra Azul Preserve. Featured are the 100 most common species seen during the wildflower surveys and only includes flowering species. Commonness is based on previous surveys during April for species seen every year and at most areas around Sierra Azul OSP. The guide is a simple color photograph guide with two selected features showcasing the species—usually flower and whole plant or leaf. The plants in this guide are listed by Color. Information provided includes the Latin name, common name, family, and Habit, CNPS Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants rank or CAL-IPC invasive species rating. Latin names are current with the Jepson Manual: Vascular Plants of California, 2012. This guide was compiled by Cleopatra Tuday for Midpen.

Boraginaceae), with an Emphasis on the Popcornflowers (Plagiobothrys)
Diversification, biogeography, and classification of Amsinckiinae (Boraginaceae), with an emphasis on the popcornflowers (Plagiobothrys) By Christopher Matthew Guilliams A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Bruce G. Baldwin, Chair Professor David Ackerly Professor Brent Mishler Professor Patrick O'Grady Summer 2015 Abstract Diversification, biogeography, and classification of Amsinckiinae (Boraginaceae), with an emphasis on the popcornflowers (Plagiobothrys) by Christopher Matthew Guilliams Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Bruce G. Baldwin, Chair Amsinckiinae is a diverse and ecologically important subtribe of annual herbaceous or perennial suffrutescent taxa with centers of distribution in western North America and southern South America. Taxa in the subtribe occur in all major ecosystems in California and more broadly in western North America, from the deserts of Baja California in the south where Johnstonella and Pectocarya are common, north to the ephemeral wetland ecosystems of the California Floristic Province where a majority of Plagiobothrys sect. Allocarya taxa occur, and east to the Basin and Range Province of western North America, where Cryptantha sensu stricto (s.s.) and Oreocarya are well represented. The subtribe minimally includes 9 genera: Amsinckia, Cryptantha s.s., Eremocarya, Greeneocharis, Harpagonella, Johnstonella, Oreocarya, Pectocarya, and Plagiobothrys; overall minimum-rank taxonomic diversity in the subtribe is ca. 330-342 taxa, with ca. 245--257 taxa occurring in North America, 86 in South America, and 4 in Australia. Despite their prevalence on the landscape and a history of active botanical research for well over a century, considerable research needs remain in Amsinckiinae, especially in one of the two largest genera, Plagiobothrys. -

Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California
Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California Volume 1 of 2 – Introduction, Methods, and Results Prepared by: California Department of Fish and Wildlife Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program California Native Plant Society Vegetation Program For: The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District The Sonoma County Water Agency Authors: Anne Klein, Todd Keeler-Wolf, and Julie Evens December 2015 ABSTRACT This report describes 118 alliances and 212 associations that are found in Sonoma County, California, comprising the most comprehensive local vegetation classification to date. The vegetation types were defined using a standardized classification approach consistent with the Survey of California Vegetation (SCV) and the United States National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) system. This floristic classification is the basis for an integrated, countywide vegetation map that the Sonoma County Vegetation Mapping and Lidar Program expects to complete in 2017. Ecologists with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the California Native Plant Society analyzed species data from 1149 field surveys collected in Sonoma County between 2001 and 2014. The data include 851 surveys collected in 2013 and 2014 through funding provided specifically for this classification effort. An additional 283 surveys that were conducted in adjacent counties are included in the analysis to provide a broader, regional understanding. A total of 34 tree-overstory, 28 shrubland, and 56 herbaceous alliances are described, with 69 tree-overstory, 51 shrubland, and 92 herbaceous associations. This report is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 (this volume) is composed of the project introduction, methods, and results. It includes a floristic key to all vegetation types, a table showing the full local classification nested within the USNVC hierarchy, and a crosswalk showing the relationship between this and other classification systems. -

Historically, each of Anacapa’s islets has been subjected to periodic grazing by sheep, and the eastern islet has also had a sizeable population of introduced rabbits. In spite of these past perturbations, the recovery of the island’s vegetation has been remarkable since sheep removal in 1937. -
