The plot is located in Chico in the Drake mitigation site (Are there created "vernal pools" in the area?). The pool containing the plot is ca. 150 meters north of the main wash running along the south edge of the property. The stand is a rocky vernal pool bottom dominated by Navarretia and Lasthenia.
Azimuth of the plot's long axis = 359 deg.; The site appears to have been grazed historically but not yet this year.
