Near San Francisco, the National Parks Service has a very special protected plot of land where Hickman’s Potentilla (Potentilla hickmanii; Rosaceae) grows wild. Yuerong and the CALeDNA lab techs will try identifying pollinator DNA from floral swabs the team took in the field during the peak flowering season.
