March 5, 2010 Table of Contents Page 1 of 4 Summary Introduction The Invasive Plant Policy Review and Regulatory Improvement Project is an effort to improve the City’s policies, regulations and procedures related to management of invasive plants. The project is funded by the Bureau of Environmental Services (BES), and led by the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS). Context As a follow up to City-sponsored town hall meeting on invasive species in November 2005, the City Council passed Resolution No. 36360 which required the City to develop a three year work plan and ten year goals to reduce noxious weeds within the city. In response to Resolution No. 36360, BES led a multi-bureau effort to develop a city-wide invasive species management strategy. The Invasive Plant Management Strategy (Strategy) was published in November 2008. On August 26, 2009, the City Council approved Resolution No. 36726, which established the Strategy as the City’s management plan on invasive plants. The Strategy calls for numerous actions including protecting the highest value City natural areas; preventing the establishment of new plant invaders; integrating invasive plant management policies into the City’s Comprehensive Plan; and updating invasive plant regulations in existing City codes. What Will the Project Change? The Invasive Plant Policy Review and Regulatory Improvement Project has four components that focus on actions identified by the Strategy. Update the Portland Plant List (PPL) to include priority ranks and guidance regarding invasive plants. Staff proposes revisions to the PPL to inform City and community invasive species management activities, program development, and priority setting. Evaluate opportunities to improve invasive plant control through development and non- development situations, including updates to City codes and rules. Staff has evaluated City codes to establish code and policy to effectively manage invasive plant species in development and non-development situations. Coordinate with the Portland Plan project to ensure that invasive species are addressed in the Comprehensive Plan update and the Portland work plan. Through the Portland Plan, the City should establish clear and ambitious policies and objectives to help advance the invasive species management strategy. Policies relating to invasive plants should be addressed in the contexts of public health, safety, environment, and economy. Research the feasibility of establishing a local noxious or invasive weed law. Staff is analyzing the legality and the potential benefits, costs, and impacts of establishing a local noxious weed law. Staff has also researched similar laws in other jurisdictions. March 5, 2010 Table of Contents Page 2 of 4 What Documents are Attached? The City Council Report is comprised of the documents related to the four project components. The Project Overview Report provides a detailed description of each of the project components. The changes and recommendations relate to codes and technical documents used by multiple City bureaus and citizens. Specifically, changes are recommended for the Zoning Code (Title 33), the Property Maintenance Regulations (Title 29), the Portland Plant List, the Erosion Control Manual, the Stormwater Management Manual, and the Tree and Landscaping Manual. Recommendations also evaluate the feasibility of establishing a City noxious weed law. In some situations, ideas and suggestions were explored and are identified for future research and projects. The changes to the Zoning Code, with commentary explaining the changes, primarily involve clarifications of existing language related to removal of invasive plants in conjunction with City- required landscaping and mitigation as part of a land use review.

Tutte le specie sono state trovate in ambienti antropici disturbati di bassa altitudine nel Ticino meridionale, ne- gli anni 2014 e 2015. Sono discussi l’origine, la distribuzione geografica, le probabili vie d’introduzione, il potenziale invasivo e, per la specie rara, le minacce e la conservazione. Cyperus difformis è considerato un infestante dei sistemi agricoli con un alto potenziale di propagazione e un’ulteriore espansione di questa specie, anche in habitat naturali, è possibile. La popolazione di Lythrum portula ha un grande valore naturalistico, ma la sua sopravvivenza non è garantita a lungo termine a causa dell’unicità della stazione. Parole chiave: ambienti disturbati, campi agricoli, introduzione, neofite, rilevamento precoce, specie invasive, specie rare discovery of three plant species new to Switzerland and rediscovery of one taxon considered regionally missing Abstract: This article presents the floristic notes concerning three plant species new to Switzerland: the neophytes Acalypha australis, Cyperus difformis and Ferula communis, and the rare and threatened Lythrum portula, considered regionally missing.

Ecological Surveys and Assessments 11331 Star Pine Road Truckee, CA 96161 C.S. Ecological surveys and Assessments Lake Van Norden Special-status Plant Survey Executive Summary This report presents the results of the focused botanical survey for vascular special-status plants at the proposed Lake Van Norden Dam Spillway Modification Project (proposed project). A complete pedestrian survey of the approximately 160 acre botanical survey area was conducted on June 16th and 17th 2015. The survey generally complied with the botanical survey guidelines of the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), the California Native Plant Society (CNPS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), but differed from these protocols in that a survey of the aquatic habitat was also conducted. The aquatic survey followed guidelines outlined in Aquatic Plant Sampling Protocols: Publication No. 01-03-017 produced by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Parsons 2001). Pre-field research was conducted to select special-status plant species with potential to be found within the survey area. The list of potentially occurring special-status plants was derived from several sources including the California Natural Diversity Database, the CNPS On-line Inventory, and the California Consortium of Herbaria. Twenty-three special-status plant species, including nineteen vascular plants and four non-vascular plants (one liverwort and three mosses) were determined to have potential to occur within the survey area based on habitat preferences and known distribution.

Thus Peplis portula L. becomes Lythrum portula (L.) D.A. Webb and Peplis nummulariifolia Jordan (syn. Lythrum nummulariifolium Loisel., non Persoon) becomes Lythrum borysthenicum (Schrank) Litw.. Only the species Peplis diandra DC. should be treated separately as forming the monotypic genus Didiplis Raf.. circumscribed this Having now sufficiently small group of the genus Lythrum, from now on I will use Webb’s suggestion.

  • Annotated Checklist of the Flora of the Sierra Valley Region of Sierra and Plumas Counties, California
    Harnach, W. 2016. Annotated checklist of the flora of the Sierra Valley region of Sierra and Plumas counties, California. Phytoneuron 2016-13: 1–121. Published 17 February 2016. ISSN 2153 733X ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE FLORA OF THE SIERRA VALLEY REGION OF SIERRA AND PLUMAS COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA WILLIAM HARNACH P.O Box 28 Calpine, California 96124 [email protected] ABSTRACT The Sierra Valley region of California is unique in that three floristic zones converge in this mountain valley, the Sierra Nevada from the west, the Great Basin from the east, and to a slight degree the Cascade Range from the north. A checklist of the flora includes 93 families, 434 genera, and 1153 documented species; geographic ranges of another 125 species suggest that they also may occur in the area, for a total of 1278 species. Sierra Valley is a large mountain valley located east of the Sierra Nevada crest. The geology of this region is complex but in a simplistic form it is a down-faulted block basin (graben) filled with volcanic ash deposits and lake sediments, similar to Lake Tahoe in geologic origin. This has resulted in an inverted “L” shaped flat basin, with an average elevation of 4900 feet over an area of approximately 208 square miles. The entire checklist area is approximately 360 square miles. Figure 1. The Sierra Valley –– area covered by the checklist. General notes In 2007 I began to compile a list of plants found in the Sierra Valley region for the the 2008 Jepson Herbarium Workshop “The Flora of Sierra Valley,” which my wife and I lead.

Here we present the first floristic data for a mountain area in the island of Sardinia (Italy), which exhibits Mediterranean biocli- mates at the bottom and temperate bioclimate at the top. We discovered a very high floristic richness, despite the fact that the number of endemic taxa is not high and the number of exclusive taxa is very low.
