Leaves: All basal, narrow and grass-like, 2 to 3 mm wide and withering prior to flowering stage; the only Brodiaea in this region with leaves this narrow. Flowers: Violet to blue-purple, 2 to 5 cm long, tubular with 6 tepal lobes that curve at the tips and fuse at the base, forming a tube. Stamens attached to tepals, anthers usually noticeably white, surrounded by conspicuous staminodia (modified, petal-like stamen that do not produce pollen – see picture). Fruits: Egg-shaped, stalkless capsules with black seeds Common camas (Camassia quamash) (Reclassified from the lily family) Ecology: Abundant in prairies, with variable levels of moisture. Flowering period: April - June Characteristics: Perennial 20 to 70 cm tall, from an egg-shaped, 2 cm-long bulb Leaves: all basal, grass-like, 8-20 mm wide, up to 50 cm long, and noticeably shorter than the leafless flower stalk (scape). Flowers: Inflorescences in terminal spikes of 5 or more, 5 to 30 cm long; flowers often slightly irregular, pale to dark blue but occasionally white; 6 tepals, 6 stamen and 3 stigmas. Lowest tepal often curves away from stem in late flowering period, tepals wither individually but do not cover the ovary. Flower stalks are 10-20 mm long; scapose. Fruits are 3-chambered egg-shaped capsules 15-25 mm long, containing shiny, black, angled seeds; stalks of fruits curve in toward base of stem 1 Great Camas (Camassia leichtlinii) Reclassified from the lily family; photos next page Ecology: Moist meadows, prairies and hillsides; a wet prairie species. Flowering period: April - May Characteristics: Perennial from bulb, 24 to 120 cm tall Leaves: All basal, 7 to 20 mm wide and up to 60 cm long Flowers: Inflorescences in Terminal spikes of 5 or more, 10-20 cm long or greater, usually pale to dark blue but occasionally white; flower stalks are 10-40 mm long, leafless, arising from the ground level (scapose). Regular flowers; 6 tepals, 6 stamen and 3 stigmas; tepals tend to twist together in late flowering period, persisting and covering the ovary. Fruits are 3-chambered egg-shaped capsules 15-25 mm long, containing shiny, black, angled seeds; stalks of fruits curve in toward base of stem. 2 Key to distinguishing giant camas from common camas: Giant camas – flowers are regular, and anthers are dull yellow to violet; flower stalks and overall plant size are larger than those of common camas; tepals twist together and remain over the ovary and conceal it in anthesis; leaves often bear a fine, waxy powder, and seeds are generally larger than those of common camas. Common camas – Flowers fairly irregular, lowest tepal segment curves out and down, away from others; tepals wither separately and expose the ovary.

  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

    VOLUME 18, NUMBER 1 OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY OCTOBER 2012 NPSO Citizen’s Rare Plant Watch: Wild Strawberries Hunting for rare species in Oregon by Aaron Liston by Erin Gray Considering its familiarity, it is easy to overlook the fact Who doesn’t love a treasure hunt? How about a search that the edible strawberry is a botanical oddity. In most for a rare plant that hasn’t been documented since the early plants, the fleshy part of the edible structure is derived 1900’s? In June, that is what the Native Plant Society of from the ovary, and this fits the botanical definition of a Oregon (NPSO) Citizen’s Rare Plant Watch volunteers fruit. Thus despite the fact that the US Supreme Court set out to do: search for a historical occurrence of the rare ruled in 1893 that the tomato is legally a vegetable (http:// Erigeron howellii (Howell’s daisy) in the Columbia River en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nix_v._Hedden) to a botanist, it will Gorge. Within ten minutes of hiking we passed a small always be a fruit. I am certain if asked, the Supreme Court waterfall and as we approached, we noticed a member of would also decree that the strawberry is a fruit. At least the Saxifragaceae covering the cliff directly under the falls. this is partially correct. We do eat fruits when we ingest a This turned out to be a previously undocumented occurrence strawberry, but it is definitely not a berry! The fruits are the of the rare Sullivantia oregana (Oregon coolwort)! We small achenes (dry one-seeded fruits) that are scattered on pulled out our data sheets and began collecting data on the the surface of the tasty, red receptacle (the vegetative tissue population including location, a count of individuals, habitat from which the floral organs originate).

DATE: November 2009 APPROVED BY: DATE: _____________ Name, Forest Botanist, Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit SUMMARY OF EFFECTS DETERMINATION AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS AND/OR REQUIREMENTS One population of a special-status bryophyte, three-ranked hump-moss (Meesia triquetra), was observed in the survey area during surveys on June 30, 2008 and August 28, 2008. The proposed action will not affect the moss because the population is located outside the project area where no action is planned. The following species of invasive or noxious weeds were identified during surveys of the Project area: cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum); bullthistle (Cirsium vulgare); Klamathweed (Hypericum perforatum); oxe-eye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare); and common mullein (Verbascum Thapsus). The threat posed by these weed populations would not increase if the proposed action is implemented. An inventory and assessment of invasive and noxious weeds in the survey area is presented in the Noxious Weed Risk Assessment for the Upper Truckee River Sunset Stables Restoration Project (ENTRIX 2009). Based on the description of the proposed action and the evaluation contained herein, we have determined the following: There would be no significant effect to plant species listed as threatened, endangered, proposed for listing, or candidates under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA), administered by the U.S.

Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December-2019 i Abstract Edaphic specialization in plants is associated with the development of novel adaptations that frequently lead to speciation, causing unique edaphic environments to be associated with rare and endemic plant species worldwide. These species contribute significantly to global biodiversity, but are especially vulnerable to disturbance and climate change because of their inherently patchy distributions and locally adapted populations. Successful conservation of these species depends upon understanding their habitat requirements and the amounts and distributions of genetic and phenotypic diversity among populations. Little is known about the habitat requirements or

Cliff Erosion Control with Plants CHRISTOPHER J. MARCHANT For at least half a century, perhaps several centuries, the 300 foot high sea cliffs at Point Grey have been gradually eroding. Aerial photographs indicate this, and they also show that in recent years an increasing area has been affected. It appears that there has always been a somewhat cyclical variation in the vegetation cover, which has advanced and receded coincident with fluctuation in cliff stability. However, this natural geological phenomenon has now become a major cause for concern to the University of British Columbia, since parts of the university campus sit strategically on the summit of the cliffs, and some of the land and large buildings (among them the temporary headquarters of the Botanical Garden) may be threatened with eventual subsidence into the ocean.

All our analyses show that traditional Aconitum is not monophyletic and that subgenus Gymnaconitum and a broadly defined Delphinium form a clade. The SOWH tests also reject the inclusion of subgenus Gymnaconitum in traditional Aconitum. Subgenus Gymnaconitum markedly differs from other species of Aconitum and other genera of tribe Delphinieae in many non-molecular characters. By integrating lines of evidence from molecular phylogeny, divergence times, morphology, and karyology, we raise the mono- typic A. subg. Gymnaconitum to generic status.
