I used data from Calflora and gimp to create the map lol

Beautiful. Even Eriogonum (wild buckwheat), which was fun to read about, is beautiful in itself.

I quite like the by-species coloration!

I'm not familiar with your area or Calflora, but you might also consider utilizing iNaturalist data!

How did you obtain the data?

I went species by species screenshoting a range map, then manually transferring those points over to a single layer on a map.

Hard vouch for inaturalist! I love that service.

Yeah iNaturalist is great and i use it a ton, but it gets tricky when you want to get into the specific nuances of a plant genus. Misidentifications can be pretty common and Eriogonum is notorious for being hard to identify. That's why i chose Calflora because it's mostly botanists who make these observations and it's just a little more trustworthy imo.

Look at those little guys, crazy little Erogianacious bastards, how you doin that
