California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Inventory Listings:

1A = California endemic, presumed extinct 1B = Rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere 2 = Rare, threatened, or endangered in California, but more common elsewhere 3 = review list (they need more information to list or not) 4 = Limited distribution (Watch List) .1 = Seriously endangered in California (over 80% of occurrences threatened / high degree and immediacy of threat) .2 = Fairly endangered in California (20-80% occurrences threatened) .3 = Not very endangered in California (<20% of occurrences threatened or no current threats known)

Plant Taxa with High Affinity to Ultramafic Substrates in California (after Safford et al. 2005, Safford and Miller 2020):
