My observations were a couple of days ago but I had not put them in. I fell in love with tangle wood path and panoramic view area that I went again for that awesome workout and nature. I saw a berry plant, I think it might be a himalayan blackberry but I am not sure. I thought it was interesting how they have few berries. I think maybe its because the season might have just ended or its just beginning. I also saw lichen on a piece of log. I saw a few trees with it but not that many. I wonder why some trees are targeted and not all. I also got to see a fly on a leaf which I thought was cool. Also, I saw these clover like plants. I want to learn more about them and if they are invasive in our area. Lastly, since I am new to the bay I learned the name of the Dark eyed junco which is almost the equivalent of the house sparrow in the location where I lived in LA county.

1. A plant with regular flowers: I chose this yellow flower that had six petals because it is symmetrical and the petals are similar in shape and size.
2. A plant with irregular flowers: I chose the Bermuda buttercup because it has five petals. They are often bilaterally symmetric.
3. A monocot: I chose this plant that has these purple flowers. Although I do not know the name it bares resemblance to a clivia plant which is considered a monocot. The leaves are what makes it a monocot.
4. A dicot: I chose a daisy as my dicot because it has broad leaves with branched veins
5. A plant in the pea family: I chose a common vetch right outside of Mc Cone hall. It is related to the peas.
6. a gymnosperm: I chose a coast redwood as my gymnosperm
7. A terrestrial plant that is not a seed plant: I chose a fern because they are very ancient plants that reproduce by releasing their sperm and egg when in moist areas.
8. A plant with pinnate leaves: I chose another type of fern. I don’t know the name but I thought it had the characteristics of pinnate leaves.
9. A plant with opposite leaves: I chose a plant that I cannot identify but I had looked up characteristics of something similar to these .
10. A plant in the sunflower family: I chose the yellow flower that always accompanies dandelions.
