Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA0757, Vegetation type confidence: No good fit within mapping classification. Best fit would be an Artemisia californica - Eriogonum fasciculatum - Salvia mellifera with a scattering of Encelia californica.; Rhus integrifolia in middle of polygon along with Platanus racemosa and Washingtonia. Salvia leucophylla concentrated in NE on flatter slope. Encelia californica patchy. Artemisia californica, Eriogonum fasciculatum, and Salvia mellifera spread throughout. Artemisia californica and Eriogonum fasciculatum especially well distributed.;
