Misc Fields:
Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA1205, Vegetation type confidence: This polygon would continue to the NW and should include polygon labeled 2090 as well as a large area off of the photo boundary. 80% of polygon seen well except for a portion of the NE section and the western bulge - the two finger prong in drainage. (A large section of Ceanothus megacarpus in this area should be excluded from rest of poly). Ceanothus spinosus throughout. A Ceanothus megacarpus concentration in the SE section of stand. Not enough Ceanothus megacarpus for an association - just along edges and specific sections but not mixing. Numerous other species within stand - a general Ceanothus spinosus alliance is the best call. If polygon drawn tighter, most of Ceanothus megacarpus could easily be excluded.;
