Family Poaceae: Tuctoria mucronata (Solano Grass).
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Solano and Yolo counties, California, on the map below.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for Tuctoria mucronata are the habitat components that provide:
(i) Vernal pools, swales, and other ephemeral wetlands and depressions of appropriate sizes and depths and the adjacent upland margins of these depressions that sustain Tuctoria mucronata germination, growth and reproduction, including but not limited to Northern Claypan vernal pools (Sawyer and Keeler-Wolf 1995) on saline- alkaline clay or silty clay in the Pescadero soil series that typically become inundated during winter rains, but are dry during the summer and do not necessarily fill with water every year; and
(ii) The associated watershed(s) and hydrologic features, including the pool basin, swales, and surrounding uplands (which may vary in extent depending on pool size and depth, soil type and depth, hardpan or claypan type and extent, topography, and climate) that contribute to the filling and drying of the vernal pool or ephemeral wetland, and that maintain suitable periods of pool inundation, water quality, and soil moisture for Tuctoria mucronata germination, growth and reproduction, and dispersal, but not necessarily every year.
(3) Critical habitat does not include existing man-made features and structures, such as buildings, roads, aqueducts, railroads, airport runways and buildings, other paved areas, lawns, and other urban landscaped areas not containing one or more of the primary constituent elements.

(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for San Joaquin, Sacramento, Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Merced, Mariposa, Madera and Fresno Counties, California, on the map below.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for Castilleja campestris ssp. succulenta are the habitat components that provide:
