adding taxa

I am currently adding taxa to the list for inclusion in this collection project. I hope to have upwards of 300 taxa eventually included, based mostly on correlation of iNaturalist observations and USGS ultramafic rock maps.

One of my purposes is to encourage observers to "trust" the project so that I can get access to unobscured coordinates for endangered taxa without risk to the plants, which I love (and will never release such locations in any way). This is important especially in California, where a substantial fraction of serpentine-tolerant taxa are highly restricted endemics with obscured locations, which makes it impossible to get quantitative information on their exact relationship to serpentine soils.
