Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA0135, Vegetation type confidence: More herb cover at two ends of polygon. Ceanothus megacarpus more dominant east of center. Salvia mellifera more dominant west of center. Does not key easily. Somewhat disturbed polygon. Salvia mellifera has highest cover but the stand fits better under a Ceanothus megacarpus alliance;
