(1) Status (Federal/State) FE = Federally endangered. PE = Proposed for federal listing as endangered. FT = Federally threatened. PT = Proposed for federal listing as threatened. C = Candidate for federal listing. BEPA = Bald Eagle Protection Act. CE = State threatened. CSC = State Species of Special Concern. * = formerly Category 2 or Category 3 candidate or proposed for federal listing; no current federal status. + = proposed rule to list as endangered or threatened has been withdrawn; no current federal status. Protected = moratorium on hunting. None = no federal or state status.

(2) California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Status List of Species Designation: 1B = Rare or endangered in California and elsewhere (meets CDFG criteria for rare or endangered listing). 2 = Rare or endangered in California, more common elsewhere. 3 = Plants about which more information is needed. 4 = Plants of limited distribution.R-E-D Code R - Rarity: 1 = Rare, but found in sufficient numbers and distributed widely enough that the potential for extinction or extirpation is low. 2 = Occurrences confined to several populations or one extended population. 3 = Occurrence limited to one or a few highly restricted populations, or present in such small numbers that it is seldom reported.E - Endangerment: 1 = Not endangered. 2 = Endangered in a portion of its range. 3 = Endangered throughout its range.D - Distribution: 1 = More or less widespread outside California. 2 = Rare outside California. 3 = Endemic to California.

(3) Habitat AG = Agriculture. AM = Alkali marsh. CB = Coastal bluffs. CHP = Chaparral. CLOW = Coast live oak woodland. CSS = Coastal sage scrub. FWM = Freshwater marsh. G = Grassland. MSS = Maritime succulent scrub. OW = Oak woodland. RF = Riparian forest. RP Riparian. RS = Riparian scrub. RW = Riparian woodland. SM = Salt marsh. SMC = Southern maritime chaparral. VP = Vernal pool.

(4) LFMZ Occurrence Zones with known documented and significant occurrences of the species. The absence of a zone from this column does not mean that the HMP species does not occur in the zone. Additional biological surveys and documentation may discover other zones with significant occurrences of the species.
