Instructions:
Stop at a place you can find on a map, like a trail junction,
summit or
large stream crossing, and lookto see if there is one or more of
the
target species growing near that location. You are unlikely to
findall 5 target species in one spot, but many occur together.
Describe your observation location in the first box below (more
room on back). Enter elevation & lat/
long (if known). Mark your location and label it with the
location # on a sketch map on reverse side.
Record flower and/or fruit status of the target plant(s). The
plant(s) at your location may exhibit more
than one flowering or fruiting stage. Mark ALL stages that apply
with an X, and CIRCLE thestage that appears to be dominant; use the
field guide for guidance. Indicate your certainty of
identification on a scale of 1-3 (1=uncertain, 2=somewhat
certain, 3=very certain).
