Growing and Using Native Plants in the Northern Interior of B.C. Individual Species Treatments
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The rest of this manual consists of descriptive information on each of the 31 species for which we gathered information, based on published sources and our own research and experience. Each species description includes a range map for northern B.C., photographs of the plant’s habit and seeds, general background information, description of the growth form, site preferences, seed information, techniques for seed production, harvesting and seed processing information, considerations for use in revegetation, and other general comments on the properties or husbandry of the species. If not otherwise cited, information has been derived from the Symbios Research & Restoration research program, some results of which have been previously summarized in Burton and Burton (2001b). Reference is also made to a number of other sources and researchers, particularly from Alberta where valuable research on the use of native grasses has been carried out over the last two decades. General comments from growers and practitioners are used when no quantitative information is available on a particular species. When noted, information from related species has been extrapolated to similar species presented in this manual. A map of its geographical distribution in northern British Columbia is provided for each species. Each map is first and foremost a “dot map ” at a scale of 1:7,000,000, documenting the location of verifiable plant collections or sightings. Three primary sources of information are portrayed, each by a different symbol (as shown in the map keys):
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
