  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

  • A Guide to Priority Plant and Animal Species in Oregon Forests
    A GUIDE TO Priority Plant and Animal Species IN OREGON FORESTS A publication of the Oregon Forest Resources Institute Sponsors of the first animal and plant guidebooks included the Oregon Department of Forestry, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Oregon Biodiversity Information Center, Oregon State University and the Oregon State Implementation Committee, Sustainable Forestry Initiative. This update was made possible with help from the Northwest Habitat Institute, the Oregon Biodiversity Information Center, Institute for Natural Resources, Portland State University and Oregon State University. Acknowledgments: The Oregon Forest Resources Institute is grateful to the following contributors: Thomas O’Neil, Kathleen O’Neil, Malcolm Anderson and Jamie McFadden, Northwest Habitat Institute; the Integrated Habitat and Biodiversity Information System (IBIS), supported in part by the Northwest Power and Conservation Council and the Bonneville Power Administration under project #2003-072-00 and ESRI Conservation Program grants; Sue Vrilakas, Oregon Biodiversity Information Center, Institute for Natural Resources; and Dana Sanchez, Oregon State University, Mark Gourley, Starker Forests and Mike Rochelle, Weyerhaeuser Company. Edited by: Fran Cafferata Coe, Cafferata Consulting, LLC. Designed by: Sarah Craig, Word Jones © Copyright 2012 A Guide to Priority Plant and Animal Species in Oregon Forests Oregonians care about forest-dwelling wildlife and plants. This revised and updated publication is designed to assist forest landowners, land managers, students and educators in understanding how forests provide habitat for different wildlife and plant species. Keeping forestland in forestry is a great way to mitigate habitat loss resulting from development, mining and other non-forest uses. Through the use of specific forestry techniques, landowners can maintain, enhance and even create habitat for birds, mammals and amphibians while still managing lands for timber production.

  • Asters of Yesteryear (Updated April 2018)
    Asters of Yesteryear (Updated April 2018) About this Update: The document was originally posted in a shorter version, to accompany the brief article "Where Have all our Asters Gone?" in the Fall 2017 issue of Sego Lily. In that version it consisted simply of photos of a number of plants that had at some time been included in Aster but that no longer are, as per Flora of North America. In this version I have added names to the photos to indicate how they have changed since their original publication: Date and original name as published (Basionym) IF name used in Intermountain Flora (1994) UF name used in A Utah Flora (1983-2016) FNA name used in Flora of North America (2006) I have also added tables to show the renaming of two groups of species in the Astereae tribe as organized in Intermountain Flora. Color coding shows how splitting of the major genera largely follows fault lines already in place No color Renamed Bright Green Conserved Various Natural groupings $ Plant not in Utah It is noteworthy how few species retain the names used in 1994, but also how the renaming often follows patterns already observed. Asters of Yesteryear (Updated April 2018) Here are larger photos (16 inches wide or tall at normal screen resolution of 72 dpi) of the plants shown in Sego Lily of Fall 2017, arranged by date of original publication. None of them (except Aster amellus on this page) are now regarded as true asters – but they all were at one stage in their history. Now all are in different genera, most of them using names that were published over 100 years ago.

Topography (e.g., ridgetops versus lee slopes), wind, rock movement, and snow accumulation patterns produce scoured fell-fields, dry turf, snow accumulation heath sites, runoff-fed wet meadows, and scree communities. Fell-field plants are cushioned or matted, adapted to shallow drought-prone soils where wind removes snow, and are intermixed with exposed lichen coated rocks. Common species include Ross’ avens (Geum rossii), Bellardi bog sedge (Kobresia myosuroides), twinflower sandwort (Minuartia obtusiloba), Idaho Department of Fish & Game, 2016 September 22 886 Appendix E.
