  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny

    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.

    Christ's Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja Christii) Monitoring on the Sawtooth

    CHRIST’S INDIAN PAINTBRUSH (CASTILLEJA CHRISTII) MONITORING ON THE SAWTOOTH NATIONAL FOREST: SECOND-YEAR RESULTS by Robert K. Moseley Conservation Data Center March 1997 Idaho Department of Fish and Game 600 South Walnut, P.O. Box 25 Boise, ID 83707 Stephen P. Mealey, Director Sawtooth National Forest Idaho Department of Fish and Game Agreement No. 14-CCS-96-023 ABSTRACT Christ’s Indian paintbrush (Castilleja christii) is Idaho’s rarest plant, consisting of a single population on Mount Harrison at the north end of the Albion Mountains, Cassia County. Due to its extreme rarity and the numerous disturbances that take place on the summit plateau of Mount Harrison, a Conservation Agreement was signed between the Sawtooth National Forest and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that enumerates conservation actions that will be implemented to protect habitat for Christ’s Indian paintbrush, including establishing a monitoring program to assess impacts to the population associated with recreational uses. The monitoring program was established by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s Conservation Data Center in 1995 (Moseley 1996). The objectives for 1996 were to: (1) continue to collect density and frequency data for Christ’s Indian paintbrush at the 20 transects established in 1995 and (2) establish monitoring of habitat recovery where a buried electronic cable was laid through a small portion of paintbrush habitat in late 1995. Results of the population monitoring show that the total number of plants and stems increased in 1996, but in only one transect was that increase statistically significant for plant density. Three transects showed significant increases in stem production.

    Antennaria Densifolia (Dense-Leaved Pussytoes) Predicted Suitable Habitat Modeling

    Antennaria densifolia (Dense-leaved Pussytoes) Predicted Suitable Habitat Modeling Distribution Status: Present State Rank: S1 (Species of Concern) Global Rank: G4G5 Modeling Overview Data Source Last Updated: October 10, 2017 Model Produced On: June 11, 2021 Deductive Modeling Modeling Process, Outputs, and Suggested Uses This is a simple rule-based model using species occurrences delineated for vascular and non-vascular plant species. These species could not be modeled with inductive methods, either due to limited observations or spatial extent or because an inductive model had poor performance. Species occurrences are discretely mapped polygons where the species has been documented. Plant species occurrence polygons are delineated by the MTNHP Botanist, and can be generated in two ways: 1) Polygons are hand-mapped and scaled to aggregate neighboring observation points and their adjacent habitat, while trying to exclude barriers, reduce known unoccupied habitat, and ignore management boundaries, or 2) Circular polygons are automatically generated by buffering the single observation point by its location uncertainty distance. For compatibility with other predictive distribution models the Montana Natural Heritage Program produces, we have intersected these species occurrences with a uniform grid of hexagons that have been used for planning efforts across the western United States (e.g. Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies - Crucial Habitat Assessment Tool). Each hexagon is one square mile in area and approximately one kilometer in length on each side. Any hexagon that intersected a species occurrence was classified as suitable habitat. Model outputs are not evaluated and we suggest they be used to generate potential lists of species that may occupy lands within each hexagon for the purposes of landscape-level planning.

Three ways to contact us: FAX: (303) 621-2864 (24 HRS.) email: [email protected] website: www.alplains.com Dear Growing Friends: Welcome to our 23rd annual seed catalog! The summer of 2012 was long, hot and brutal, with drought afflicting most of the U.S. Most of my botanical explorations were restricted to Idaho, Wash- ington, Oregon and northern California but even there moisture was below average. In a year like this, seeps, swales, springs, vestigial snowbanks and localized rainstorms became much more important in my search for seeding plants. On the Snake River Plains of southern Idaho and the scab- lands of eastern Washington, early bloomers such as Viola beckwithii, V. trinervata, Ranunculus glaberrimus, Ranunculus andersonii, Fritillaria pudica and Primula cusickiana put on quite a show in mid-April but many populations could not set seed. In northern Idaho, Erythronium idahoense flowered extensively, whole meadows were covered with thousands of the creamy, pendant blossoms. One of my most satisfying finds in the Hells Canyon area had to be Sedum valens. The tiny glaucous rosettes, surround- ed by a ring of red leaves, are a succulent connoisseur’s dream. Higher up, the brilliant blue spikes of Synthyris missurica punctuated the canyon walls. In southern Oregon, the brilliant red spikes of Pedicularis densiflora lit up the Siskiyou forest floor. Further north in Oregon, large populations of Erythronium elegans, Erythronium oregonum ssp. leucandrum, Erythro- nium revolutum, trilliums and sedums provided wonderful picture-taking opportunities. Eriogonum species did well despite the drought, many of them true xerics.

Dumort. Alternate Names stick-tights, beggar-ticks, stickseed, sheepbur, European sticktight, bur forget-me-not, European stick- weed Synonyms Lappula echinata Gilib., Lappula myosotis Moench Description Bluebur is an annual plant that is pro- fusely branched with stems up to 2 feet tall. The entire plant is covered with stiff, white hairs and has a mousy odor. The hairs usually lie flat against the stems and leaves. Leaves are alternate, 3/4 to 4 inches long, and covered with stiff white hairs on both surfaces. The lower leaves are oblong, Mrkvicka by Alexander Photo stalked, and blunt-tipped, whereas the upper leaves are stalkless. Flowers are blue with a yellow throat, resembling forget- me-not flowers but smaller, about 1/8 of an inch across. They appear near the ends of stems in leafy clusters. Each flower pro- duces 4 small nuts with 2 rows of hooked prickles that have star-shaped tips. Fruit stalks are straight and erect. Similar Species Western bluebur (L. occidentalis (S. Wats.) Greene) is a weedy annual plant, native to Alaska, that can be distin- guished from bluebur by its nuts. Western bluebur nuts have 1 row of hooked prickles, while the exotic bluebur nuts have 2 rows. Stick-seed (Hackelia floribunda (Lehm.) I.M. Johnson) is native to British Columbia and resembles Family: Boraginaceae Bluebur both bluebur species, but the fruiting stalk of stick-seed is curved or bent downwards.
