Fumaria muralis in the South SF Bay Area
I'm finding many populations of Fumaria muralis in the South San Francisco Bay Area. They seem to congregate near waterways. Some hot spots are: Sunnyvale Baylands, Ulistac Natural Area, Coyote Creek, Guadalupe Creek Trail, and Los Alamitos Creek Trail.
For Los Alamitos Creek and Guadalupe Creek, I've documented populations of 50+ plants at 0.25 mile intervals.
It's frustrating that the Jepson eFlora and Calflora do not recognize this species. It looks like one has to jump through all kinds of hoops to get it on the list of valid introduced species.
I sent vouchers to UC Davis herbarium and CDFA (California Dept. of Food and Agriculture) on 2018-03-02, but I haven't heard back from either of them.
I've added 10 observations of this species (each of which represents 50 or more plants) to Calflora so far, but the average user can't see them because this plant is not recognized by the Calflora database.
If anyone can tell me what hoops to jump through to get this plant entered into the Jepson key for Fumaria, please let me know. I tried to submit a specimen to the Jepson Herbarium, but they weren't interested in my "weeds" as they put it. Right now, many fumitories found in California are being incorrectly identified as Fumaria officinalus because F. muralis is not in the key.
