Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA0389, Vegetation type confidence: All assessed. High certainty. Malacothamnus fasciculatus differentiated from Salvia mellifera on more gradual slope nearer Kanan Rd. Encelia californica could be higher 02 class if foliated. Eriogonum cinereum low cover. Malosma laurina had higher cover has been some die-off;
