27 <br />Table 2: Special status species that could occur in the project vicinity. <br />PLANTS (adapted from CDFW 2017 and CNPS 2017) <br />Other special status plants listed by the CDFG and CNPS <br />Common and scientific names Status General habitat description *Occurrence in the study area <br />Stinkbells <br />(Fritillaria agrestis) <br />CNPS 4 Habitats: Occurs in <br />chaparral, valley grassland, <br />foothill woodland, wetland, <br />and riparian habitats, and can <br />be associated with serpentine <br />soils. <br />Elevation: 10-1555 meters. <br />Blooms: Bulb; March-June. <br />Absent. Grasslands and seasonal <br />wetlands of the site provide marginal <br />habitat for this species; however, <br />serpentine soils are absent from the site, <br />and this species was not detected during <br />focused rare plant surveys conducted in <br />May 2017. There are no documented <br />occurrences within three miles of the <br />site. <br />Fragrant fritillary <br /> (Fritillaria liliacea) <br />CNPS 1B Habitat: Occurs in coastal <br />prairie, coastal scrub, and <br />valley and foothill <br />grasslands, often on <br />serpentine soils <br />Elevation: 3-410 meters. <br />Blooms: February-April. <br />Absent. Grasslands of the study area <br />are too heavily disturbed to provide <br />habitat for this species and this species <br />would have been observed if present on <br />the development area during several <br />surveys that occurred during its <br />blooming season. There are no <br />documented occurrences within three <br />miles of the site. <br />Diablo helianthella <br /> (Helianthella castanea) <br />CNPS 1B Habitats: Occurs in <br />broadleaved upland forest, <br />chaparral, cismontane <br />woodland, coastal scrub, <br />riparian woodland, and <br />valley and foothill grassland. <br />Elevation: 60-1300 meters. <br />Blooms: Perennial herb; <br />March-June. <br />Absent. While the grasslands of the <br />site provide marginal habitat for this <br />species, this perennial plant would have <br />been identified if present on the site <br />during the 2012 through 2017 LOA <br />surveys, and it was not detected during <br />the focused rare plant survey conducted <br />in May 2017. There are no documented <br />occurrences within three miles of the <br />site. <br />Brewer’s western flax <br /> (Hesperolinon breweri) <br />CNPS 1B Habitats: Occurs in <br />chaparral, cismontane <br />woodland, and valley and <br />foothill grassland, usually on <br />serpentine. <br />Elevation: 30-900 meters. <br />Blooms: Annual; May-July. <br />Unlikely. While grasslands of the site <br />provide marginal habitat for this <br />species, serpentine soils are absent from <br />the site, and this species has never been <br />detected during surveys of the site from <br />2012 through 2017, including a focused <br />rare plant survey in May 2017. There <br />are no documented occurrences within <br />three miles of the site. <br />Legenere <br /> (Legenere limosa) <br />CNPS 1B Habitat: Occurs in vernal <br />pools. <br />Elevation: 1-880 meters. <br />Blooms: Annual; April– <br />June. <br />Absent. Seasonal wetlands of the site <br />may provide marginal habitat for this <br />species, however, this species was not <br />detected during focused rare plant <br />surveys conducted in May 2017 and is <br />presumed absent from the site. There <br />are no documented occurrences within <br />three miles of the site. <br />Hall’s bush mallow <br /> (Malacothamnus hallii) <br />CNPS 1B Habitat: Occurs in chaparral, <br />coastal scrub and riparian <br />woodland habitats, <br />occasionally on serpentine. <br />Elevation: 10-760 meters. <br />Blooms: Evergreen shrub; <br />May - September. <br />Absent. Habitat is absent from the site <br />for this species. There are no <br />documented occurrences within three <br />miles of the site. There are no <br />documented occurrences within three <br />miles of the site.
