Newsletter of the Colorado Native Plant Society Volume 42 No Aquilegia Newsletter of the Colorado Native Plant Society Volume 42 No. 2 Spring 2018 1 www.CoNPS.org Aquilegia Volume 41 No. 5 Fall 2017 Pasqueflower or Prairie Crocus, Anemone patens L. var. multifida (Ranunculaceae). A circumboreal plant and one of the earliest bloomers, emerging soon after the snows retreat. The leaves are heavily dissected. The flower consists of 5-8 purplish to white tepals surrounding many bright yellow stamens and white pistils. The flowers close at night and on cloudy days. The entire plant is usually covered with soft plumose hairs and is often found in undisturbed, gravelly soils, from prairie to alpine regions. As the plant matures, the peduncle lengthens and the styles elongate to long silky tails, which eventually carry the many achenes away on the wind. One Native American name for A. patens is ‘Ears of the Earth’. It had a variety of medicinal usages in most tribes. However, it can be toxic to humans and livestock when ingested.

There are few natural barriers on the northern Great Plains and the winds move freely across the plains and account for rapid changes in temperature.

  • Thesis Spatial and Temporal Variability in Channel
    THESIS SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIABILITY IN CHANNEL SURFACE FLOW ACROSS AN ELEVATION GRADIENT ON THE COLORADO FRONT RANGE Submitted by Caroline Martin Department of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2018 Masters Coittee: Advisor: Stephanie Kampf Sara Rathburn Michael Falkowski Copyright by Caroline Elizabeth Martin 2018 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIABILITY IN CHANNEL SURFACE FLOW ACROSS AN ELEVATION GRADIENT ON COLORADO FRONT RANGE Topographic indices such as Upslope Accumulation Area (UAA) and the Topographic Wetness Index (TWI) are commonly used in watershed analyses to derive channel networks. These indices work well for large rivers and streams, but they do not always produce stream locations that match those observed in the field for headwater streams, where geology and soils affect locations of surface channels. This study maps the actively flowing drainage network of four headwater watersheds across an elevation gradient in the Colorado Front Range and examines how these locations of flow relate to topography, geology, climate, and soils. The objectives are to 1) document and digitize the active stream networks in the field, 2) delineate stream network with topographic indices and evaluate how index-derived channel networks compare with observations, and 3) evaluate how geology, climate, and soils affect surface water flow paths. Study sites are small headwater watersheds (1.7 – 15.5 km2) that vary in elevation from 1780 m up to 4190 m. At each watershed, surveys of surface water locations were conducted twice during the summer about a month apart in order to capture temporal variation.

Box 439 Bayfield, CO 81122 Re: Initial Draft Hermosa Creek Watershed Management Plan Dear Ms. Hooley: Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has reviewed the Initial Draft Hermosa Creel< Watershed Management Plan (Hermosa Plan). The newly created Hermosa Creek Wilderness and the Hermosa Special Management Area (SMA) are a result of a collaborative effort from a diverse group of local stakeholders that desired to achieve legislative protection of the watershed. The legislation that created the Hermosa Creek Watershed Protection stat es : "The purpose of the Special Man agement Area is to conserve and protect for the benefit of present and future generations the watershed, geological, scientific, recreational, wildlife, riparian, historical, educational, and scenic resources of the Special Management Area." The Hermosa Plan is an amendment to the 2013 San Juan National Forest (SJNF) Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan), and the Recreational and Travel Management analysis and decision will be an integral part of the plan. The Hermosa Plan area is approximately 107, 900 ac res of National Forest land and includes both the SMA and Hermosa Creek Wilderness located in La Plata and San Juan Counties. It is a popular destination for many types of motorized and non -motorized rec reation including: Off Hi ghway Vehicle (OHV) riding, motorbiking, mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, fishing, hunting, and camping.

  • Mountain Plants of Northeastern Utah
    MOUNTAIN PLANTS OF NORTHEASTERN UTAH Original booklet and drawings by Berniece A. Andersen and Arthur H. Holmgren Revised May 1996 HG 506 FOREWORD In the original printing, the purpose of this manual was to serve as a guide for students, amateur botanists and anyone interested in the wildflowers of a rather limited geographic area. The intent was to depict and describe over 400 common, conspicuous or beautiful species. In this revision we have tried to maintain the intent and integrity of the original. Scientific names have been updated in accordance with changes in taxonomic thought since the time of the first printing. Some changes have been incorporated in order to make the manual more user-friendly for the beginner. The species are now organized primarily by floral color. We hope that these changes serve to enhance the enjoyment and usefulness of this long-popular manual. We would also like to thank Larry A. Rupp, Extension Horticulture Specialist, for critical review of the draft and for the cover photo. Linda Allen, Assistant Curator, Intermountain Herbarium Donna H.

  • Claytonia Virginica & Claytonia Caroliniana: Spring Beauty
    Zachariah Wahid Ethnobotany (EEB 455) June 10, 2014 Instructors: Scott Herron and Adam Schubel Claytonia virginica & Claytonia caroliniana: Spring beauty Meeautikwaeaugpineeg Species Productivity Schedule Zachariah Wahid Ethnobotany (EEB 455) June 10, 2014 Instructors: Scott Herron and Adam Schubel Family: Montiaceae (formerly: Portulaceae) Latin Name: Claytonia virginica L., Claytonia caroliniana L. Common Names: Spring beauty, Fairy spud Anishinaabe Name: Meeautikwaeaugpineeg Taxonomy The genus Claytonia was named aFter John Clayton (1685-1773), an American botanist, physician, and clerk to the County Court of Gloucester County, VA where the species name virginica, meaning “oF Virginia”, comes From (Black & JudZiewicz, 2009; Couplan, 1998). C. caroliniana was similarly named aFter the Carolinas. The diFFerence in scientiFic nomenclature between these species reFlects a diFFerence in distributions and slight variation in morphology (C. virginica is sometimes referred to as narrow-leaved spring beauty). The Anishinaabemowin word For spring beauty is Meeautikwaeaugpineeg and it can be applied to both species since they are functionally the same For humans (Meeker & Elias, 1993). The Anishinaabemowin name may reFer to the plant’s preferred forest habitat and to the underground organs From which spring beauty’s most common use is derived. However, very few print or online sources (if any) exist that provide a literal translation of the word into English.
