Comment from Allison Shilling, CNPS Representative
“As a non-botanist who nevertheless uses the results of botanical surveys, I think that a species list can be invaluable. A few years ago, Andy Sanders of UC Riverside was employed, in September of a dry year, to survey an area proposed for an OHV park. He listed many species with a notation to the effect "suitable habitat, not observed at this time", and it enabled me to argue that a supplementary survey was needed, and I got it in the budget.”
