Claytonia sibiricaSiberian spring-beauty is native to Siberia, Asia, and western North America; in New England, it has been collected only in Massachusetts. In its native range, this diminutive plant is a denizen of shady, damp woods and alder thickets. Also known as candy-flower, it produces tiny pink flowers. Its leaves are regarded as edible, but rather bland additions to the salad. Habitat: Redwood Forest. Small population. Corolla pink. | Soil sandy, white. Common trees: Cupressus pygmaea, Pinus muricata, P. contorta contorta; occasionally: Castanopsis chrysophylla minor, Lithocarpus densiflora, Myrica californica; in moist ravines: Sequoia sempervirens, Alnus oregona; understory dense, of: Rhododendron californicum, Pteridium aquilinum, Gaultheria shallon, Vaccinium ovatum, Arctostaphylos nummularia, Ledum glandulosum, Xerophyllum tenax.

The measurable traits of C. litoralis overlap significantly with the lower end of the measurement ranges of C. miniata, according to FNA. This specimen's traits fall within the overlap, and its havitat and elevation fit the ranges of both species as well. The white exudate produced by c. miniata may not have been preserved or was not present at all, so this diagnostic character cannot help in the identification.

Field Horsetail
Equisetum arvense IUCN Red List: LC ยท US: N5? ยท NatureServe: G5Field horsetail is distributed throughout the temperate northern hemisphere, including nearly all of North America. The young shoots are edible and the mature ones are sometimes used as a scouring tool. Field horsetail has also been used for a variety of medicinal purposes by Native Americans. In addition, it is an important component of the spring and early summer diet of black bears. It frequently hybridizes with river horsetail (Equisetum fluviatile) where populations of the two species co-occur. Habitat: Locally abundant in riprap near the normal high-water line of the Sacramento River at the N end of the Riparian Sanctuary. | Found in moist banks of rivers and streams. | Common. Found on very moist soil at base of a tree.
Habitat: Anthropogenic (human-disturbed or -maintained habitats), fens, forest edges, forests, meadows and fields, shores of rivers or lakes, swamps, wetland margins (edges of wetlands)

Eelgrass
Zostera marina IUCN Red List: LC ยท NatureServe: G5 ยท US: N5Eel-grass is one of the most important marine plants. Eel-grass meadows serve as nurseries for many marine vertebrates, as well as micro- and macro-invertebrates. Because of this, and because it also helps stabilize the substrate, it is often used in marine habitat restoration. It is also used for packing material, and as food. Habitat: Common in the river; river 406' in depth

Red-Berried Elder
Sambucus racemosa IUCN Red List: LCRed elderberry is a tall shrub that grows best in forest openings; its seeds can remain dormant for many years until a gap opens and stimulates germination, sometimes on nurse logs. It can also stump-sprout from the root crown following cutting or fire. Birds and mammals (such as bears, raccoons, and mice) favor the juicy fruits and disperse them widely. Porcupines and snowshoe hares nibble the bark in winter. The leaves are bitter and contain a cyanogenic glycoside chemical, which is toxic to humans but does not deter deer and other ungulates. Red elderberry is planted on streamsides to contr

Monterey Cypress
Hesperocyparis macrocarpa CA: VU ยท CA: 1B.2Hesperocyparis macrocarpa also known as Cupressus macrocarpa, or the Monterey cypress is a coniferous tree, and is one of several species of cypress trees native to California. The Monterey cypress is found naturally only on the Central Coast of California. Due to being a glacial relict, the natural distributional range of the species during modern times is confined to two small relict populations near Carmel, California, at Cypress Point in Pebble Beach and at Point Lobos. Historically during the peak of the last ice age, Monterey cypress would have likely comprised a much larger forest that extended much further north and south.

Monterey Pine
Pinus radiata CA: 1B.1 ยท CA: ENPinus radiata (syn. Pinus insignis), the Monterey pine, insignis pine or radiata pine, is a species of pine native to the Central Coast of California, and the Guadalupe and Cedros islands of Mexico. It is an evergreen conifer in the family Pinaceae. Pinus radiata is a versatile, fast-growing, medium-density softwood, suitable for a wide range of uses and valued for rapid growth (up to two meters (6.5 feet) in one year), as well as desirable lumber and pulp qualities. Its silviculture reflects a century of research, observation and practice. It is often considered a model for growers of other plantation species. Although P. radiata is extensively cultivated as a plantation timber in many temperate parts of the world, it faces serious threats in its natural range, due to the introduction of a fungal parasite, the pine pitch canker (Fusarium circinatum). The pine shoot moth Rhyacionia buoliana is another serious problem. In cultivation in New Zealand, Pinus radiata has grown as much as 61 m (200 ft) in 41 years, an average of 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) per year. Habitat: Old home site on south side of canyon on the edge of a disturbed grassland and coastal bluff. Slope: 5 degree.
