Location Narrative	Binocular assessed. Parts of polygon denser with shrubs, others open with more herbaceous. SW central part of polygon dominated by Ceanothus cuneatus. More open areas of polygon have Encelia californica, Bromus, and Phacelia cicutaria. As drawn the polygon does not capture a clear alliance. Polygon is comprised of inclusions too small to be mappable.
