Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA1214, Vegetation type confidence: No Cercocarpus betuloides with Adenostoma sparsifolium. Best to alliance. Doesn't seem good with Ceanothus megacarpus but parts have a lot of Ceanothus megacarpus.; Not viewing N edge at drainage bottom and the west edge, and the NE part (viewing about 75% of poly). High certainty. Ceanothus megacarpus patchy NW 1/3 has concentration of Ceanothus megacarpus. Adenostoma sparsifolium fairly well distributed. Other species might amount to 1-2% cover.; Surveyed stand has an inclusion of Ceanothus megacarpus-33%;
