Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">The Jepson eFlora is the foremost authority on the native and naturalized vascular plants of California. The eFlora contains many resources vital to the conservation and protection of the California flora, including taxonomic treatments, distribution maps, illustrations, photographs, and identification keys. The eFlora is kept up to date in a number of ways, including yearly revisions that incorporate the newest data. These research papers commonly result in the addition of new taxa, recircumscriptions of existing taxa, and changes to biogeographic data. Floristic inventories are particularly important in influencing our understanding of taxon distributions, and play a key role in keeping the eFlora up to date. In this talk, I will discuss examples from my own floristic inventory in the Manter and Salmon Creek watersheds, a project I did as a master’s student at the California Botanic Garden (Claremont Graduate University). I will end with how individuals can best contribute their own knowledge to eFlora, and how continued combined efforts are vital to the conservation and preservation of the California flora.</span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;line-height:150%"><strong><span style="font-size:15.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black"> Join us ON THURSDAY!</span></strong><b><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black"><br></span></b><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">March 13th, 2025</span></strong><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black"><br><strong><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif">7-8 pm PT</span></strong></span></b><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black"><br><br>Join Zoom Meeting:</span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"><br></span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black"><a href="https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93997441689?pwd=2sRjAs0NQZLj87QOpaBGLcilbpuXKN.1">https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93997441689?pwd=2sRjAs0NQZLj87QOpaBGLcilbpuXKN.1</a></span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"></span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="border:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0in 13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt"><div align="center"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="background:#34662e;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td style="border:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt;border-radius:13px"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://calbotsoc.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c632809fa2b75323f2418bb1e&id=3f745dd5f7&e=b69ac08598" target="_blank" title="Join Zoom Meeting"><b><span style="color:white;text-decoration:none">Join Zoom Meeting</span></b></a> </span></p></td></tr></table></div></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="border:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:6.75pt 6.75pt 6.75pt 6.75pt"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td valign="top" style="border:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0in 6.75pt 0in 6.75pt;min-width:100%;float:left"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><img border="0" width="366" id="_x0000_i1027" src="https://mcusercontent.com/c632809fa2b75323f2418bb1e/images/d3ef633f-8015-b03e-3b6e-808ff9a6d818.jpg"></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="border:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:6.75pt 0in 0in 0in"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td width="596" valign="top" style="width:449.25pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;max-width:100%;min-width:100%;float:left"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;word-break:break-word"><tr><td valign="top" style="border:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0in 13.5pt 6.75pt 13.5pt"><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"><hr size="3" width="100%" align="center"></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">Nina holds a Master’s degree in Botany from Claremont Graduate University and a Biology B.S. degree with a minor in Sustainability Studies from SUNY Oswego.
