    Ipomopsis Sancti-Spiritus in Holy Ghost Canyon with and Without Management Intervention JOYCE MASCHINSKI the Arboretum at Flagstaff

    Extinction Risk of Ipomopsis sancti-spiritus in Holy Ghost Canyon With and Without Management Intervention JOYCE MASCHINSKI The Arboretum at Flagstaff Abstract: Small populations are threatened with deterministic and stochastic events that can drive the number of individuals below a critical threshold for survival. Long-term studies allow us to increase our understanding of processes required for their conservation. In the past 7 years, the population of the federally endangered Holy Ghost ipomopsis (Ipomopsis sancti-spiritus) in Holy Ghost Canyon has fluctuated widely from 2047 to 372 plants. Meta- population analysis of average Leslie matrices suggested that I. sancti-spiritus has a high probability of extinction; 60 percent of the demographic transects have negative growth rates. Transects with the greatest likelihood of remaining occupied, the highest h values, and the greatest source of new propagules for maintaining the species in Holy Ghost Canyon are in the sunny lower part of the canyon. In comparison, transects at the top of the canyon have fewer individuals and lower probability of remaining occupied. With management inter- vention to disperse propagules from more fecund to less fecund areas'of the canyon, meta- population modeling indicated decreased (but still a high) risk of extinction within the next 50 years. Thus, although seed augmentation and habitat improvement can improve the chances for I. sancti-spiritus persistence in Holy Ghost Canyon, the species remains at high risk of extinction. Small populations are threatened with determin- rose (Rosa woodsii), poison ivy (Toxicodendron yd- istic and stochastic events that can drive the num- bergii), Indian hemp (Apocynum cannabinum), west- ber of individuals below a critical threshold for ern yarrow (Achilliea millefolium), white ragweed survival (Shaffer 1987, Holsinger 2000).

Related Species Russian Knapweed Acroptilon repens (L.) DC. Description Spotted knapweed is a biennial to short-lived perennial plant. Seedling cotyledons are ovate, with the first leaves lance-shaped, undivided, and hairless. (Young seedlings can appear grass-like.) Stems grow 1 to 4 feet tall, and are many-branched, with a single flower at the end of each branch. Rosette leaves are indented or divided Old XID Services photo by Richard about half-way to the midrib. Stem leaves are alternate, pinnately divided, Spotted knapweed flower. and get increasingly smaller toward the tip of each branch. Flower heads are urn-shaped, up to 1 inch wide, and composed of pink, purple, or sometimes white disk flowers. A key characteristic of spotted knap- weed is the dark comb-like fringe on the tips of the bracts, found just below the flower petals. These dark-tipped bracts give this plant its “spotted” appearance. Russian knapweed is a creeping perennial plant that is extensively branched, with solitary urn-shaped pink or purple flower heads at the end of each branch. Similar in appearance to spotted knapweed, Russian knapweed can be distinguished by its slightly smaller flower heads, flower head bracts covered in light hairs, with papery tips, and scaly dark brown or black rhizomes, which have a burnt appearance. Family: Asteraceae Spotted Knapweed Leaves and stems of both spotted and Russian knapweeds are covered in fine hairs, giving the plants a grayish cast.

SITY • Lower leaves are deeply dissected, but the upper leaves R are entire and linear. • Flowers are pink to pale-purple. • Flowerheads have four to eight florets and appear more slender than the flowerheads of other knapweeds. • The bracts underneath the flower have a central spine that curves backwards. • Fruit is a golden to dark-brown achene. UNIVE STATE UTAH / DEWEY STEVE The bracts underneath the flower of squarrose knapweed have Habitat and Ecology a central spine that curves backwards. Squarrose knapweed (Centaurea virgata ssp. squarrosa) is present in Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon, Wisconsin, spotted (Centaurea maculosa) or diffuse knapweed (Cen- and Michigan. How it was introduced to North America is taurea diffusa). Squarrose knapweed is not palatable to unknown. Squarrose knapweed often grows on degraded livestock and can form monocultures. Its taxonomic status rangeland soils and tolerates drought and cold better than is uncertain: it is also known as Centaurea squarrosa and Centaurea virgata. Description Squarrose knapweed is a long-lived perennial with highly branched stems that grow one to three feet tall. The stems grow above a woody crown and stout taproot. Under unfa- vorable conditions, the plants remain as basal rosettes be- fore developing flowering stems. Squarrose knapweed re- produces by seed. The seed head falls near the parent plant, but the backwards-curved spines under the seed head can cling to hair, wool, fur, and clothing, allowing the seeds to disperse over greater distances.

MILENA NIKOLOVA* Institute of Botany, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 23, Acad. G. Bonchev str. 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria Surface flavonoid profiles in forty populations of Artemisia vulgaris L. (Asteraceae) were analyzed. The major constituents observed in the leaf exudates were methylated flavonoid aglycones based mainly on quercetin. Three infraspecific flavonoid chemotypes were de- termined, the chrysosplenetin (quercetagetin 3,6,7,3’-tetramethyl ether) chemotype, the artemetin (quercetagetin 3,6,7,3’,4’-pentamethyl ether) chemotype and chemotype with- out these two compounds. Most of the populations corresponded to these chemotypes. Key words: Artemisia vulgaris, Asteraceae, flavonoid aglycones, chrysosplenetin, arte- metin, chemotype Introduction Surface flavonoid aglycones are often used in chemotaxonomic studies on Asteraceae at the generic and species level (VALANT-VETSCHERA and WOLLENWEBER 1996, WOLLEN- WEBER et al. 1997, STEVENS et al. 1999). Recent articles showed that a flavonoid pattern couldalsobespecificforachemotype(REP^ÁK et al. 1999, WILLIAMS et al. 2000, MARTONFI et al. 2001, VIEIRA et al. 2003). The species of the genus Artemisia (Asreraceae) have been extensively surveyed for their surface flavonoid constituents (WOLLENWEBER et al. 1989, VALANT-VETSCHERA and WOLLENWEBER 1995, WOLLENWEBER and VALANT-VETSCHERA 1996). Artemisia vulgaris L (Asteraceae) is a perennial polymorphic species, widespread in temperate areas (South Europe, North Africa, North America and Asia). Simple flavonol methyl ethers have been reported for West-European populations (VALANT-VETSCHERA et al.

Arka (C. procera ) an important drug of Ayurveda is known from the earliest time. Traditionally Calotropis is used alone or with other medicines to treat common disease such as fevers, rheumatism, indigestion, cough, cold, eczema, asthma, elephantiasis, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The plant is poisonous can lead to blindness if its juice is put in to the eyes. The silky hairs are using to stuff pillows. The wood is used in impoverished desert areas for a cooking fuel. The stem is useful for making ropes, carpets, fishing nets and sewing thread. The wood is used in making charcoal. C. procera is an ideal plant for monitoring sulphur dioxide emissions in the air. C. procera is a potential plant for bioenergy and biofuel production in semi arid regions of the country.
