Range and Distribution
CALIFORNIA
Describe or map the local (state or states where conservation is a concern) distribution in as much detail as possible. If possible, describe on a landscape scale and consider
aerial extent. Discuss areas where the taxon is common, locally abundant, sporadic, rare, disjunct, or otherwise. Estimate the number of populations known to exist in the local
area and map them if possible. Also, if possible, discuss the number of viable populations compared to the total number of populations.
OTHER STATES OR COUNTRIES
Describe world-wide range in as much detail as possible. Discuss areas where the taxon is common, sporadic, rare, disjunct, or otherwise.
