Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA0521, Vegetation type confidence: Keys fine. Only possible problem is Ceanothus megacarpus at 4% but this is mostly concentrated in one end. However, Adenostoma fasciculatum - Ceanothus megacarpus possible 2nd choice or Adenostoma fasciculatum 2010.; SE part has more Ceanothus megacarpus. NW part of polygon more dominated by Adenostoma fasciculatum. Eriogonum cinereum mostly in NW part. Salvia mellifera more in SE part. All assessed. High certainty.;
