D 3 Rhus Trilobata Oakleaf Sumac This Large (3-6’ Tall by 6-10’ Wide), Drought Tolerant Shrub Has Trilobed Leaves That Turn a Bright Red to Orange Color in the Fall
D 4 Ribes sanguineum Red-flowering Currant Fragrant tri-lobed leaves are accompanied by pale to dark pink (and occasionally white) flower spikes in early spring. The shrub typically grows 3-5’ tall by 3-4’wide. The dark black, glaucous berries are not palatable. The striking spring flowers have made this shrub popular in the horticulture industry where numerous cultivars are available. Native from British Columbia to central CA, to eastern slopes of the Cascades in WA and northern OR, east to Northern ID. Rhus trilobata D 3 Rhus trilobata Oakleaf Sumac This large (3-6’ tall by 6-10’ wide), drought tolerant shrub has trilobed leaves that turn a bright red to orange color in the fall. Plants are either male or female with a bright red furry fruit produced on the female plants. It makes a nice midsize shrub for erosion control, or as a screen or hedge for a dry, sunny spot in the garden. The leaves have an odd odor when crushed and the fruit has a lemony taste when fresh, hence its other common names, Skunkbush Sumac or Lemonade Bush. Native to perennial or ephemeral streams or draws, chiefly east of the Rocky Mountains from Alberta to Mexico. Ribes sanguineum -D 3 Rosa woodsii Woods’ Rose Small, pale to dark pink flowers (petals up to 1”) bloom in clusters in late May. They grow 3-4’ tall and spread rhizomatously to form thickets making excellent cover for wildlife with their compound leaves and recurved prickles. If space is limited, their rhizomatous habit can become a major disadvantage so care must be taken to locate accordingly. -

The national park was F E R N S established in 1968. In 1994, a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation added Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek, Athyriaceae – Lady Fern Family and Jedediah Smith Redwoods state parks to form a single administrative Athyrium filix-femina var. cyclosporum • northwestern lady fern unit. Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line. Almost half of the remaining old growth redwood forests Blechnaceae – Deer Fern Family are protected in these four parks. -

Phlox Douglasii Hook.)
PLANT OF THE YEAR Columbia Phlox (Phlox douglasii Hook.) James H. Locklear 7431 Briarhurst Circle, Lincoln, NE 68506 Phlox douglasii is a subshrub, branching from a woody base with herbaceous growth that dies back to the woody tissue at the end of each growing season. Flowers are borne at the top of the new growth. Photo by James Locklear. hlox douglasii is a name covering…a multitude of in 1820, and helped develop the Glasgow Botanic Garden botanical sins.” So wrote Ira Gabrielson in his 1932 where his path crossed that of a newly hired gardener (David classic, Western American Alpines, and so I discovered Douglas). Hooker was so impressed with the young Scot that for“P myself some 70 years later. With grants from the Native he recommended Douglas to the Royal Horticultural Society of Plant Society of Oregon and the North American Rock Garden London as a botanical collector (Hooker 1836). Douglas made Society, I waded into a study of the genus Phlox in general and his first collecting trip under the auspices of the Society in 1823, P. douglasii in particular. While matters of nomenclature can be traveling to the northeastern United States and Canada. In 1824 he tedious to work through, the species in question is a prominent set sail for the west coast of North America, arriving at the mouth wildflower in a number of plant communities in central and of the Columbia River in April of 1825. In this vast watershed, eastern Oregon, and a clear picture of its taxonomic identity is Douglas collected seeds and plant specimens for the Society, and important to understanding and describing the ecology of these in the process, discovered scores of new species that today bear communities. -
Conifers Network
GENETIC RESOURCES OF EXOTIC CONIFERS 31 The introduction, evaluation and use of non-native conifer species in Britain C.I.A. Samuel Tree Improvement Branch, Forest Research, Northern Research Station, Roslin, EH25 9SY, UK; Email: sam. orestry.gsi.gov.uk Introduction As part of an island grouping separated from mainland Europe, the United Kingdom (UK) has only three conifer species: Pinus sylvestris L., Taxus baccata L. and Juniperus communis L. These species arrived between the end of the last period of glaciation and the disappearance of the land-bridge with mainland Europe. Only Pinus sylvestris is of economic importance and it remains naturally distributed in small populations in the Scottish Highlands. The development of techniques of artificial regeneration of managed forests therefore brought an interest in non-native conifer species to exploit the wide range of site conditions present and exotic species now account for the major part of commercial coniferous forestry. The introduction of exotic conifers to Britain A summary of the introduction of exotic conifers is given in Table 1. In the table the origin, date of introduction, person who introduced the species, where known, and date when the species was first used as a commercial plantation species is given. More details are given by Macdonald et al. (1957). Among the European species, Picea abies (L.) Karst., which was present before the last glaciation, was probably introduced as early as the 16th century and was grown commercially from that time. Larix decidua P. Mill. was introduced in the late 17th century and a number of individual specimens dating from the early 18th century are still standing. -

A Remarkable Garden: David Douglas on the Shrub-Steppe of The
A Remarkable Garden David Douglas and the Shrub-steppe of the Columbia Plateau JACK NISBET 210 Rock Garden Quarterly Vol. 70 (3) IN LATE JUNE of 1825, Scottish naturalist David Douglas took his first peek at the arid world of the Inland Northwest. Traveling upstream on the Columbia River with a canoe brigade of fur agents and their season’s trade goods, he ventured through the Columbia Gorge and stepped ashore for the long portage between the two great rapids known as the Dalles and Celilo Falls. Like most first-time visitors, he was shocked at the scale of the massive basalt flows that hung over the Gorge, then stunned by the desiccated landscape that stretched off endlessly to the east. “Nothing but extensive plains and barren hills, with the greater part of the herbage scorched and dead by the intense heat,” he wrote in his journal. Despite such heat, the energetic Douglas picked up some wonderful plants during his hike between the rapids, including a sunny yellow blazing star (Mentzelia laevicaulis) that provided him with ripe seeds to ship back to England. He dug up two different kinds of evening primrose in flower that he transplanted into his turnip patch at Fort Vancouver, hoping to gather seeds from them as well. And he discovered enough mature samples of Clarkia pulchella, already named after explorer William Clark but not yet cultivated outside its native ground, to turn it into one of the hottest garden offerings at London's Royal Horticultural Society’s 1828 summer plant sale. 211 Born in 1799 in the village of Scone, Perthshire, as the son of a stonemason, Douglas’s behavior at the local school gave little indication that he might be destined for anything greater than fishing, the care of abandoned birds, and rambling in the nearby hills. -
