The distribution of Overall Assessment ratings again indicate a positive result for the mapping and predictive utility of the project methodology, with 77.50% of the 40 plant species analyzed rated Good or better and 92.5% rating Fair or better. The Poor and Poor to Fair ratings accounted for 7.50% of the 40 plant species analyzed. Of the total 65 plants of all priority lists, 38.46% of species had No Data, mostly due to an ambiguity in exact species. 53
