Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA0814, Vegetation type confidence: poor fit with above codes. Chose 5000 as primary because better fit than 3321 but seems to be enough shrubs to be a shrub polygon; Salvia mellifera and Eriogonum fasciculatum throughout. Herbs throughout. Malosma laurina not well distributed as well as other tall shrubs. No clear dominant. All assessed. High certainty.;
