3-Web RV Plant List Wild Plants of Round Valley Regional Park Grouped by Growth Form Alphabetical by Scientific Name September 5, 2003 Wild Plants of Round Valley Regional Park Grouped by Growth Form Alphabetical by Scientific Name This document contains a comprehensive list of the wild plants reported to be found in Round Valley Regional Park. The plants are grouped according to their growth form for easy accessibility. These four groups are: Ferns & Horsetails, Grasses & Grasslike, Herbaceous, and Woody. The plants within each group are listed alphabetically by scientific name. Other information on each plant includes the common name, family, whether the plant is native or introduced, and its longevity. For quick reference, the upper left corner of each page displays both the group name (based on growth form) and the genus of the first scientific name. The abbreviations used: Checklist column for marking off the plants you observe Scientific Name According to The Jepson Manual: Higher Plants of California, 1993 Common Name According to Jepson and other references (highly variable) Family The scientific plant family name according to Jepson L Longevity: Annual (a), Biennial (b), Perennial (p), or a combination N/I Native (n) or Introduced (i) according to Jepson The listing of plants included in this document is by no means complete. The intent is to maintain an ongoing inventory to which additional plants can be added over time. Readers are encouraged to report any corrections or additions to this list by emailing the District Botanist (Wilde Legard, [email protected]). This welcomed assistance will help facilitate improved management of the Park District’s natural resources.

  • 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.

This letter updates the interim letter report of April 18, 2008. The selected survey areas (Figure 1) were among those few areas that were not surveyed during the original rare plant surveys of the Rockville Trails Estates site in 2005. Subsequently, project modifications entailed additional surveys to ensure absence of impacts to special-status plant species. METHODS Selected areas of the Rockville Trails Estates site were surveyed on March 31, April 9, May 8, May 20, and July 16, 2008 for special-status plant species. The use of a GPS device assisted in located the survey sites. RESULTS Plants that are either federally or state listed or on the CNPS list 1A, 1B or 2 were not observed within the designated survey areas. The majority of the areas was dominated by grassland and had extensive areas of shallow soil and rock outcrops. Two of the areas supported large manzanitas (Arctostaphylos manzanita) up to 12 feet tall and 8 inches in diameter. One of the areas was dominated by oak woodland and one of the areas supported some species of shrubs: California sagebrush (Artemisia californica) and sticky monkey flower (Mimulus aurantiacus).
