    Plant Guide saline-sodic soils (Ogle and St. John, 2008). It has FOURWING SALTBUSH excellent drought tolerance and has been planted in highway medians and on road shoulders, slopes, and other Atriplex canescens (Pursh) Nutt. disturbed areas near roadways. Because it is a good Plant Symbol = ATCA2 wildlife browse species, caution is recommended in using fourwing saltbush in plantings along roadways. Its Contributed by: USDA NRCS Idaho Plant Materials extensive root system provides excellent erosion control. Program Reclamation: fourwing saltbush is used extensively for reclamation of disturbed sites (mine lands, drill pads, exploration holes, etc,). It provides excellent species diversity for mine land reclamation projects. Status Please consult the PLANTS Web site and your State Department of Natural Resources for this plant’s current status (e.g., threatened or endangered species, state noxious status, and wetland indicator values). Description Fourwing saltbush is a polymorphic species varying from deciduous to evergreen, depending on climate. Its much- branched stems are stout with whitish bark. Mature plants range from 0.3 to 2.4 m (1 to 8 ft) in height, depending on ecotype and the soil and climate. Its leaves are simple, alternate, entire, linear-spatulate to narrowly oblong, Fourwing saltbush.

Its root system is branched and commonly very deep reaching depths of up to 6 m (20 ft) when soil Alternate Names depth allows (Kearney et al., 1960).

  • Botany Biological Evaluation
    APPENDIX I Botany Biological Evaluation Biological Evaluation for Threatened, Endangered and Sensitive Plants and Fungi Page 1 of 35 for the Upper Truckee River Sunset Stables Restoration Project November 2009 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE – FOREST SERVICE LAKE TAHOE BASIN MANAGEMENT UNIT Upper Truckee River Sunset Stables Restoration Project El Dorado County, CA Biological Evaluation for Threatened, Endangered and Sensitive Plants and Fungi PREPARED BY: ENTRIX, Inc. 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.

    A Preliminary Review and Multiple-entry Key to the Rust Fungi on Cyperaceae and Juncaceae in Indiana John W. McCain Department of Botany and Plant Pathology Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907 The Manual of the Rusts in United States and Canada (1), the crucial reference for identification of this highly important group of plant parasitic fungi in North America, was published in 1934, the 50th year of the Indiana Academy of Science. As a pilot project to develop techniques for revising the manual, including computer- aided compilations of distributions and generation of new keys, a subset of the North American rust fungi, the Indiana species, was chosen for review in 1984, the 100th year of this academy. The most recent compilation of the Indiana rust fungi was in 1916-1921 (3). Because the 165 species listed by Jackson (3) still make a large group, the focus of this paper was further narrowed. Rust fungi attack hosts in many families of flowering plants (about 100 in North America— 1), but certain families are especial- ly burdened with these pathogens. The rust fungi on nearly all of these major host groups (Gramineae, Leguminosae, etc.) have been re-studied since 1934, except for those of Cyperaceae. In fact, Savile (10) called for a "moratorium" on the publication of records on Carex rusts until a thorough study could be done. This paper is a first step in such a study. The rushes (Juncaceae) often occur together with the Cyperaceae in nature. Their rust pathogens should be studied along with those on the sedges, for they may be related as their hosts are (9).

Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero.

Caicco Natural Heritage Section Nongame Wildlife/Endangered Species Program Bureau of Wildlife December 1988 Idaho Department of Fish and Game 600 South Walnut Street, P.O. Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Jerry M. Conley, Director Cooperative Challenge Grant Project Idaho Panhandle National Forests Idaho Department of Fish and Game Contract No. 53-0281-7-163 ABSTRACT Eleven of thirteen species of the genus Carex (sedges) which have been designated as Sensitive Species within Region 1 of the U.S. Forest Service are known to occur in Idaho. In this study, the status of these thirteen species, plus one other species of sedge, on the Idaho Panhandle National Forests was investigated through herbaria searches and field surveys. In individual reports, the taxonomy, description, range, habitat, collection record, and conservation status of nine of the fourteen species are discussed. Each species discussion ends with recommendations for land managers and field personnel. The other five species of sedge are more briefly discussed.

Our comparative data will aid in the understanding of plant– pollinator interactions and in the development of hypotheses on the origin of floral and reproductive characters in this family. The nectaries are located on the inner side of the staminal tube. The nectariferous tissue is composed of an epidermis and three to ten layers of secretory parenchymal cells, supplied indirectly by the filament vascular bundles. Stomata appear to be associated with nectar secretion. For the first time in Nyctaginaceae, nectary ultrastructure is described in Boerhavia diffusa var. leiocarpa. Nectary parenchyma cells are densely cytoplasmic and contain numerous starch grains. Plasmodesmata connect the nectariferous cells. Flowers of Nyctaginaceae secrete a small volume of nectar of variable concentration (10–47%). Nectar is dominated by hexoses, but Mirabilis jalapa showed a balanced proportion of sucrose and hexoses. Hymenoptera are the most common visitors for most species; nocturnal Lepidoptera are the most common visitors for M.
