I hope to collect a small amount of seed from ~100 plants located at either Hastings Reservation Road closer to Martin Rd or near the entrance (I will only collect from one though). The species can produce anywhere from 20-100 fruits/plant, and each fruit contains 20-60 seeds. The seeds are tiny (~1mm in diameter), so the total green weight would be less than a pound, because I would only collect 1-2 fruits per plant. I spoke to a senior environmental specialist at CDFW and was informed that I don't need any permits from them, because my species is common, with no rare plant ranking or state/federal listing.
