APPENDIX III 10/2/07 Griffith Park Plant List October, 2007 version Compiled by Dan Cooper, Cooper Ecological & Rick Fisher, LA PW/BOE/ARCH Legend: • Verified species are in BLACK TYPE (occurrence code: H= herbarium record, An= Anecdotal reports from plant lists, etc., RF= field verified by Rick Fisher, DC= field verified by Dan Cooper), NPS= National Park Service vegetation mapping data • Species which may occur but not yet verified are in GRAY TYPE. This includes species typical of the Eastern SMM, and those of special interest to watch for. • Exotic, non-native plants are shown in ITALIC TYPE. • Rare, Sensitive and Ecologically Significant species are in BOLD TYPE, CEQA status noted when applicable (Based on information provided by Carl Wishner, David Magney, Bart O'Brien and CNDDB, and CNPS Inventory) F:E = Federally listed as ENDANGERED. S:E = State listed as ENDANGERED. CNPS Ranking: List 1A: Plants Presumed Extinct in California (not been seen or collected in the wild in California for many years). List 1B: Plants Rare, Threatened, or Endangered in California and Elsewhere (rare throughout their range with the majority of them endemic to California) List 2: Plants Rare, Threatened, or Endangered in California, But More Common Elsewhere (plants common in other states or countries are not eligible for consideration under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act) List 3: Plants About Which We Need More Information - A Review List; we lack the necessary information to assign them to one of the other lists or to reject them. Nearly all of the plants List 3 are taxonomically problematic. List 4: Plants of Limited Distribution - A Watch List; the plants in this category are of limited distribution or infrequent throughout a broader area in California, and their vulnerability or susceptibility to threat appears relatively low at this time. While we cannot call these plants "rare" from a statewide perspective, they are uncommon enough that their status should be monitored regularly. Threat Ranks • 0.1-Seriously threatened in California (high degree/immediacy of threat) • 0.2-Fairly threatened in California (moderate degree/immediacy of threat) • 0.3-Not very threatened in California (low degree/immediacy of threats or no current threats known) Ferns and Fern Allies Plt.
