Director’s Column by Brent D. Mishler Bryophyte Biology

The bryophytes, with more than 20,000 species worldwide, are the most diverse set of land plants aside from the flowering plants. The group includes three quite distinct lineages (i.e., mosses, hornworts, and liverworts), some familiar species frequently encountered in mesic forests and along streams, as well as a number of less familiar species of tropical rain forests, arctic tundra, and desert boulders. The bryophytes have an ancient history; Dr. Paul Silva and Dr. Richard L.

(4) Need for free water for sexual reproduction. Another residual feature of the early land plants shared by modern bryophytes is the constraint imposed by the swimming sperm. Swimming gametes have short dispersal distances, which leads to frequent inbreeding in monoicous species (those with male and female gametangia on the same plant) Polytrichum in full glory (Eric Harris) form below, in hopes of summarizing and lack of sporophyte production in dioicous species (those with male and the colonization of land by animals, how different major lineages have female gametangia on different plants). and evolved an unparalleled diversity of solved the problem of life on land, in (5) The clump as a “super- or- size, structure, chemistry, and function. a way useful for thinking about these ganism.” Many mosses and some Yet, despite their diversity, phyloge- remarkable little plants. liverworts are essentially social or- netic importance, and key roles in the Major differences in bryophyte ganisms like bees or ants.

3 Jepson Herbarium Reception and Auction

On November 11, 2006, the Jepson Herbarium held a reception and auction to benefit the Jepson Flora Project.

We thank all of the individuals and businesses that donated items to the silent and live auctions (see list, page 5). We are truly grateful for your contributions! We also thank all of the attendees for coming to the event and showing your support for the Flora Project, and especially to table sponsors East Bay Chapter of CNPS, Huffman-Broadway Group, and Sycamore and Associates. Your commitment is a big part of our success!

Silent auction items included artwork, botanical trips, retreats, Over 100 people attended the festivities and, as you can unique plants, wine, gift certificates, and more.

Website Undergoing Updates

Even if you can’t make it to Berkeley to visit the University and Jepson Herbaria in person, you can glean a lot of information by visiting our website (ucjeps.berkeley.edu). In addition to the many online taxonomic and specimen databases, Jepson Flora Project resources, and general information about visiting and using the collection, our website is being augmented and revised to include additional information about lesser-known herbaria resources and people. A collective effort by staff and researchers, the project is overseen by Administrative Curator Andrew Doran with Webmaster Chris Meacham posting content to the site. Research Associate Richard Beidleman has spent countless hours documenting the herbaria archives and many of these special collections of slides, photographs, specimens, books, and other items of botanical interest are now listed online at ucjeps.berkeley.edu/ main/archives. A complete staff directory is now up-to-date and includes web pages for some individuals, a news feature highlighting special projects or recognition the herbaria receives from the public, and ongoing updates to the botanical databases. Take a minute to visit our revised site and let us know if there is anything else you’d like to see added.
