Map Views. Plant observation data might seem flat and uninteresting, until you see an interesting plant in your watershed as a clickable point on a relief map. The Calflora Map Viewer can display much of Calflora's Plant Observation Library in just this way. The recent focus has been on adding location checklists for areas that can be represented as polygons on the map (for instance, state parks). See particularly
• The Mendocino Coast (thanks to Teresa Sholars); and
• Marin County (thanks to Doreen Smith and Marin CNPS).

Roll the mouse over a polygon to see its name. Click on it to see the list of what was observed there.

Nomenclature. There have been many recent changes to the scientific nomenclature of California plants. Each Calflora Species Report now contains a Name Status area, explaining which authorities (ICPN, PLANTS, CNPS) recognize the name as 'current', and whether the name has been replaced by a newer name. It also lists past synonyms of the name. If you would like to delve further into it, try
the Name Status query page, or the Scientific Name query page.

Sincerely,

Calflora Staff and Volunteers
