												  Mesilla Valley Bosque State Park Doña Ana County, New MexicoMESILLA VALLEY BOSQUE STATE PARK DOÑA ANA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO VEGETATION SURVEY Robert Sivinski EMNRD-Forestry Division August 2005 OVERVIEW The proposed Mesilla Valley Bosque State Park consists of west bank Rio Grande floodplain roughly between the Mesilla Dam and the State Road 538 Bridge. Several hundred acres of desert uplands occur to the east of the southern half of this river park. Substrates are mostly recent alluvial and colluvial deposits and generally consist of alkaline, sandy soils. Some of the lowest areas in the floodplain have alkaline silt and fine sand soils, and there are a few clayey outcrops in the desert uplands. The vegetation in this park area has been heavily impacted by river channelization, irrigation ditches, drains, roads and off-road vehicles, alien weeds (especially saltcedar), and centuries of livestock grazing. Nevertheless, there are some interesting remnants of the original Rio Grande floodplain in this area. The saltgrass/sacaton flat between the levee and irrigation ditch is especially noteworthy. Despite a few vague irrigation or drainage furrows, I believe this alkaline grassland (with a few scattered stands of cottonwood trees) is a small remnant piece of the natural vegetation community that dominated much of the middle Rio Grande floodplain prior to channelization and conversion to agriculture. This grassland is not especially diverse in species, but is the most interesting part of the park in terms of its historical significance. Plant association changes in composition and density occur frequently and gradually throughout the park and cannot be mapped with any accuracy. Therefore, the vegetation map of this survey only recognizes three major plant communities: floodplain grassland, mixed riparian (woody plants), and Chihuahuan Desert scrub (also woody plants).

												  The 31St Annual Wildflower Hotline, Brought to You by the TheodoreWelcome to the 31st Annual Wildflower Hotline, brought to you by the Theodore Payne Foundation, a non-profit plant nursery, seed source, book store, and education center dedicated to the preservation of wildflowers and California native plants. This a report for March 15, 2013. New reports will be posted each Friday through the end of May. The alternating warm weather and rain events have encouraged more blooms to come out in some of our favorite places. There were nice reports this week from the mountains and inland valleys of Orange and Riverside counties. Wildflowers are in bloom at Harford Springs Preserve in Western Riverside County mostly in the southern part of the park. California poppies (Eschscholzia californica) are blooming in large patches on several hillsides with California bells (Phacelia minor) and California figwort (Scrophularia californica) spotting the landscape among the rocks and boulders. Forget-me-nots (Cryptantha spp.), popcorn flowers (Plagiobothrys spp.) and California sun cup (Camissoniopsis bistorta) are plentiful beside the trails. Chia (Salvia columbariae) is abundant but shorter in stature this year. Chocolate lillies (Fritillaria biflora) are starting to bloom next to junipers along the grassy slopes near Ida Leona Road. Cream cups (Platystemmon californicus) are small this year, but patchy in the landscape in little swales. Oak gooseberry (Ribes quercertorum), hoary- leaved (Ceanothus crassifolius), and wild cucumber (Marah macrocarpa) are the major perennials in bloom. There are a few small patches of baby blue-eyes (Nemophila menziesii) in the shade of the magnificent junipers this park is famous for. Baby blue-eyes (Nemophila menziesii). Photo by Michael Charters Traveling west across the valley to the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve, the Clinton Keith Road that brings you to the Plateau is stunning with hoary-leaf ceanothus (Cenothus crassifolius) in peak bloom.

Collins, Colorado on March 3-5, 2004. The Conference was organized by the High Altitude Revegetation Committee in conjunction with the Colorado State University Department of Soil and Crop Science. The Conference was attended by 207 people from a broad spectrum of universities, government agencies and private companies. It is always encouraging to have participants from such a wide range of interests in and application needs for reclamation information and technology. Organizing a two-day workshop and field trip is a difficult task made relatively easy by the sharing of responsibilities among the members of the HAR Committee. In addition to the invited papers and poster papers presented on March 3-4, a “field tour” of the Hydraulics Laboratory on the Foothills Campus of Colorado State University was conducted on March 5, 2004. We appreciate and thank the organizers of the field tour.

												  Toward a Monophyletic Notholaena (Pteridaceae): Resolving Patterns of Evolutionary Convergence in Xeric-Adapted FernsRothfels & al. • Toward a monophyletic Notholaena TAXON 57 (3) • August 2008: 712–724 FERN SYSTEMATICS Toward a monophyletic Notholaena (Pteridaceae): resolving patterns of evolutionary convergence in xeric-adapted ferns Carl J. Rothfels1*, Michael D. Windham1, Amanda L. Grusz1, Gerald J. Gastony2 & Kathleen M. Pryer1 1 Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708, U.S.A. *[email protected] (author for correspondence) 2 Department of Biology, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405, U.S.A. Cheilanthoid ferns (Pteridaceae) are a diverse and ecologically important clade, unusual among ferns for their ability to colonize and diversify within xeric habitats. These extreme habitats are thought to drive the extensive evolutionary convergence, and thus morphological homoplasy, that has long thwarted a natural classification of cheilanthoid ferns. Here we present the first multigene phylogeny to focus on taxa traditionally assigned to the large genus Notholaena. New World taxa (Notholaena sensu Tryon) are only distantly related to species occurring in the Old World (Notholaena sensu Pichi Sermolli). The circumscription of Notholaena adopted in recent Ameri- can floras is shown to be paraphyletic, with species usually assigned to Cheilanthes and Cheiloplecton nested within it. The position of Cheiloplecton is particularly surprising—given its well-developed false indusium and non-farinose blade, it is morphologically anomalous within the “notholaenoids”. In addition to clarifying natural relationships, the phylogenetic hypothesis presented here helps to resolve outstanding nomenclatural issues and provides a basis for examining character evolution within this diverse, desert-adapted clade.
