ARIZONA GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT HERITAGE DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Plant Abstract Element Code: PDAPI19051 Data Sensitivity: Yes CLASSIFICATION, NOMENCLATURE, DESCRIPTION, RANGE NAME: Lilaeopsis schaffneriana (Schlecht) var. recurva (A.W. Hill) Affolter COMMON NAME: Huachuca water umbel, Huachuca water-umbel, Huachuca waterumbel, Schaffner’s grasswort, Cienega False-rush SYNONYMS: Lilaeopsis recurva A.W. Hill, L. schaffneriana ssp. recurva FAMILY: Apiaceae AUTHOR, PLACE OF PUBLICATION: A.W. Hill, J. Linn. Soc. Bot. 47: 525-551. 1927. TYPE LOCALITY: Santa Cruz Valley near Tucson, Pima County, Arizona, U.S.A. TYPE SPECIMEN: LT: GH. C.G. Pringle s.n. 19 May 1881. LT: US. ST: NY, GH. TAXONOMIC UNIQUENESS: In the genus Lilaeopsis, the species schaffneriana is 1 of 5 species in North America, and contains only 1 variety recurva. According to Affolter (1985), “The genus Lilaeopsis Greene contains approximately 20 species. It is well developed in the temperate zones of North America, South America, Australia and New Zealand. 6 or 7 species recognized in North America.” According to NatureServe (2003), “The USFWS listed this taxon as Lilaeopsis schaffneriana ssp. recurva (Federal Register, Jan. 6, 1997). As of 11/31/99, L. schaffneriana var. recurva is used in its List of Endangered and Threatened Plants. The latter rank, is also used by Kartesz (1999). However, subspecies seems to be the rank used by Affolter (1985, p. 61), and is accepted in the Gray Index (online, 8/2000).” It is also used by the Missouri Botanical Garden (2003). DESCRIPTION: Herbaceous, semi-aquatic to aquatic perennial with cylindrical, wavy, yellowish green, slender hollow leaves borne individually or in clusters, that grow from the nodes of creeping rhizomes; inconspicuous septa at irregular intervals. -

Native Fishes and Natural Aquatic Habitats in Us Fish and Wildlife
•• NATIVE FISHES AND NATURAL AQUATIC HABITATS IN U. S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE REGION II WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE A Review of Population and Habitat Status and Evaluation of Survival Potentials for Native Freshwater Fishes, with Recommendations for Manaoement to Perpetuate the Indigenous Regional Fauna by W. L. MinckiPs,' Department of Zoolooy, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 352S7 4 30 December 925 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Natural aquatic habitats are becoming scarce in the arid American Southwest due to man's expanding needs for water. Native fishes are in direct competition for this resource, and are rapidly losing in their struggle for existance. Judicious husbandry of existing habitats, reclamation of those which remain relatively natural, and an intensive program of management of native fishes can stop and reverse current trends toward faunal extinction. Recommendations are to treat these fishes as faunal complexes, and define, delineate, and acquire for management those habitats with attributes suitable to support groups of species in perpetuity. Already-protected and geographically remote habitats are of top priority, those used by man but still in a natural or semi-natural state are second, and others requiring increasing levels of reclamation are decreasingly emphasized. Big rivers and their fishes are most critically endangered, streams and fish species of intermediate and high elevations are least so, and special habitats and fishes are manageable through site acquisition and reintroduction programs. There is not =.uffirient time for in-depth research prior to artinnq to recover many of the imperiled species and populations. Collection of basic information on reproduction, species interactions, and population dispersion and dispersal, must occur concurrently with habitat and species recovery and management operations. -

Turner* and Michael D. List The Nature Conservancy 1510 E. Fort Lowell Road Tucson, AZ 85719, USA *Correspondence: Dale S. Turner The Nature Conservancy 1510 E. Fort Lowell Road Tucson, AZ 85719, USA E-mail: [email protected] Telephone: 520-622-3861 Fax: 520-620-1799 Running title: Arizona native fish streams 1 Turner and List: Arizona native fish streams ABSTRACT 1. Arizona’s native fish species are among the most imperiled fauna in North America. Knowing the current distribution of native fish and their habitat is critical to their management and conservation, but the last detailed mapping effort was more than 30 years ago and predated computer mapping techniques. 2. Current distribution of 34 native fish species was modeled by identifying perennial stream segments for which species presence had been documented. A composite of these single-species maps displays a pattern of species richness that can inform conservation, especially when overlaid with maps of management status or invasive species. 3. The map overlays suggest that conservation priorities should include Eagle Creek, the Verde River and its tributaries, Aravaipa Canyon, the Virgin River, and Black Draw, which together hold 63% of native fish species. Of the 32 streams which support 5 or more native species, 28 have at least one non-native fish species, indicating that a more aggressive program of removing non-natives may be critical to maintaining those native populations. -
