Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.
Obscured
Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.
Definitely a coral tree, though I'm not sure which species, and I know there are at least two different species growing on campus (this one with bright red seeds, and a hummingbird-pollinated one with wood-grain seeds). Did you see the leaf shape, or if it has thorns? Erythrina caffra is a common one in San Diego, so this may be that, too.
Thank you for your thoughtful response. I just added two more photos of the same tree. I don't recall any thorns and can't see any in the photos. Difficult to discern the shape of the leaves from my not-so-sharp photo.
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)

Seen on UC Santa Barbara campus.

It seems to match the Caffra ID here:
