Supplemental Rare Plant Survey Horn River Mainline Project August 2010 / 6774 4.4.1 Bog Adder's-Mouth Orchid (S2S3) Bog adder's-mouth orchid (Malaxis paludosa (L.) Sw.) is a small perennial orchid that grows from 5-15 cm tall on mossy ground (Plates 6 and 7). Two to five, alternate, elliptic leaves, 5-12 mm long, grow at the base of the plant. Flowers are yellowish-green and inconspicuous, 1-1.5 mm long, and appear from June to August. The fruit is a 4 mm long capsule splitting into three parts to release many tiny seeds (Kershaw et al. 2001). Bog adder's-mouth is ranked S2S3 and is on the Blue List in BC. Bog adder's-mouth orchid was observed once during the 2010 rare plant survey. Four plants were observed on the existing pipeline right-of-way adjacent to the proposed route (see Figure 3I). Three plants are 7 m northeast of centreline, as measured on a handheld GPS. The fourth plant is 11 m northeast of centreline as measured on a handheld GPS. Discussion and recommended mitigation measures for bog adder's-mouth orchid are summarized in Table 4. 4.4.2 European Water-Hemlock (S2S3) European water-hemlock (Cicuta virosa L.) is a stout perennial herb that grows 0.3-1 m high. It has compound stem leaves divided 1-3 times.

  • (Caryophyllaceae), a New North American Genus Segregated from Stellaria Engellaria (Caryophyllaceae), Un Nuevo Género Norteamericano Segregado De Stellaria
    Research article Engellaria (Caryophyllaceae), a new North American genus segregated from Stellaria Engellaria (Caryophyllaceae), un nuevo género norteamericano segregado de Stellaria Duilio Iamonico1,2 Abstract: Background and Aims: Stellaria traditionally comprises 150-200 species, mainly distributed in the temperate regions of Eurasia and North America. Molecular studies demonstrated that Stellaria is polyphyletic and includes about 120 species. The genus has a high phenotypic variability which has led to nomenclatural disorders, making the identification of the various species difficult. A note is presented about a taxon currently accepted under the genus Stellaria -Stellaria obtusa- which should be recognized as a separate genus, here proposed as Engellaria gen. nov. Methods: This study is based on examination of specimens of American and European herbaria and analysis of relevant literature. Key results: Available molecular data show that Stellaria obtusa is not included in the Stellaria s.s. clade, but instead is basal to another clade compris- ing the genera Honckenya, Schiedea, and Wilhelmsia. Stellaria obtusa was, therefore, compared with these three groups and with morphologically similar apetalous members of Stellaria s.s. (S. crispa, S. media, S. pallida, and S. irrigua). The results obtained lead to the recognition of S. obtusa as a separate new North American monotypic genus. A diagnostic key of the apetalous members belonging to the American Caryophyllaceae genera is proposed. Finally, the names Stellaria obtusa and S. washingtoniana (= S. obtusa) are lectotypified based on specimens deposited, respectively, at UC (isolectotypes at GH, NY, and YU) and GH (isolectotypes at BM, CAN, CAS, CS, DOV, F, GH, K, MIN, MSC, NY, US, and VT).

  • Ecology of Woody Riparian Vegetation in Tributaries of the Upper Grande Ronde River Basin, Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Danna J. Lytjen for the degree of Master of Science in Fisheries Science presented on June 10, 1998. Title: Ecology of Woody Riparian Vegetation in Tributaries of the Upper Grande Ronde River Basin, Oregon. Abstract approvedRedacted for Privacy J. Boone Kauffman Two studies on Catherine Creek and Meadow Creek of the Upper Grande Ronde River basin, quantified several physical and biotic influences on woody riparian community composition and structure. The Catherine Creek study examined the association of woody riparian species with elevational and geomorphic gradients. The Meadow Creek study examined the influence of mammal herbivory on composition and abundance of woody riparian species. At Catherine Creek, twenty nine plots were established at 50 m intervals of elevation from near the stream origin at 2207 m in the Wallowa Mountains to the foothills of the Grande Ronde Valley at 988 m. Woody plant community composition was associated with the dominant environmental variable, elevation. Distribution of dominant riparian species was strongly associated with fluvial surfaces. Black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera) was associated with gravel and cobble bars proximal to the stream channel, and along with ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) was also associated with elevated boulder bars. Alders (A. incana and A. viridis) and willows (Salix bebbiana, S. boothii, S. exigua, S. lucida, S. melanopsis, S. prolixa, and S. sitchensis) were associated with annual floodplains. At Meadow Creek, grazing by cattle was ended in 1991 on the entire study reach and three deer and elk exclosures were built within the reach adjacent to the creek. Inside deer/elk exclosures from 1991 to 1995, mean heights of tagged cottonwoods, willows, and alders increased by 86% to 180%.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).
