APPENDIX VI: VERNAL POOL PLANT SPECIES LIST
Indicator status is from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: California (Region
0), May 1988. FAC=Facultative, FACU=Facultative Upland, FACW=Facultative Wetland, NI=No Inidcator, OBL=Obligate Wetland,
UPL=Obligate Upland. A positive (+) or negative (-) sign is used with the Facultative Indicator categories to more specifically define
the regional frequency of occurrence in wetlands. The positive sign indicates a frequency toward the higher end of the category (more
frequently found in wetlands), and a negative sign indicates a frequency toward the lower end of the category (less frequently found in
wetlands). An asterisk (*) indicates national indicator status.
