Comment on Observations
There is a
comment system
for observations. If you are registered
as a contributor, you can add a comment on any observation record.
From
My Calflora / My Comments,
you can look up all the comments you have
made, or all the comments others have made about your observations.
|
|
|
Center Point for Observations
From
My Calflora / My Views,
you can specify your own center point for
observations. This becomes the starting point for various applications, including
Observation Entry, My Observations, and Observation Hotline.
(If you haven't specified a center point, these applications start
near Fresno.)
If you belong to
groups,
you can also specify a default group for all of your new observations.

Plant Distribution Grid
shows the statewide distribution of a plant
as a variable cell size grid, or as points.
From the
Taxon Report page for a particular plant,
press the Distribution Grid link.
The cells are colored to make a heat map, indicating
where a particular plant has been observed the most.
For instance,
Rhamnus ilicifolia, evergreen buckthorn.

|
|
Observation Hotline
to search for observations with the help of a Google Map.
This application
shows contributed photos when they are available
(similar to My Observations).
Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to contribute
their observations and the amazing photos.
