  • Post-Wildfire Response of Shasta Snow-Wreath
    California Fish and Wildlife, Fire Special Issue; 92-98; 2020 RESEARCH NOTE Post-wildfire response of Shasta snow-wreath LEN LINDSTRAND III1*, JULIE A. KIERSTEAD2, AND DEAN W. TAYLOR3 † 1Sierra Pacific Industries,P .O. Box 496014, Redding, CA 96049-6014, USA 2P. O. Box 491536, Redding CA, 96049, USA 33212 Redwood Drive, Aptos, CA, 95003, USA † Deceased *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Key words: Hirz fire, Neviusia cliftonii, post-wildfire response, Shasta snow-wreath, vegetative reproduction __________________________________________________________________________ Shasta snow-wreath (Neviusia cliftonii) is a rare shrub of the Rosaceae: tribe Kerrieae endemic to the southeastern Klamath Mountains in the general vicinity of Shasta Lake, Shasta County, California. The species was discovered less than 30 years ago (Shevock et al. 1992; Taylor 1993) and initially considered a limestone obligate. Subsequent occurrences have also been found on various non-limestone substrates (Lindstrand and Nelson 2005a, b, 2006; DeWoody et al. 2012; Jules et al. 2017). The only congener, Alabama snow-wreath (Neviusia alabamensis), also has a limited range restricted to several disjunct populations in the southeastern United States and occurs on limestone and non-limestone sedimentary substrates (Long 1989; Freiley 1994). Shasta snow-wreath is deciduous and produces flowers with showy white stamens, five toothed green sepals, and rarely, one to three narrow white petals. Based on our observations since its discovery, the species reproduces vegetatively, forming thickets of stems from the root system. Despite observations of developing achenes, no viable seed nor seedlings have been collected or observed. We are not aware of any pollinators and the blooms lack detect- able scent.

No doubt one of the genera of all four traditionally recognized subfam- driving forces for the Rosaceae’s success is the ilies are known from flowers, fruits, wood, pollen, presence of agamospermy, hybridization, poly- and especially leaves. The complexity seen in Eocene Rosaceae suggests that hybridization and poly- ploidy and vegetative reproduction within the ploidy may have played a pivotal role in the early family. All of these microevolutionary pro- evolution of the family. Increased species diversity cesses contribute to generating novel genetic and the first appearance of additional modern taxa combinations capable of colonizing and per- occur during the Late Paleogene in North America sisting in new, open habitats.

  • Neviusia Cliftonii) As Endangered Under the California Endangered Species Act
    Received October 4, 2019. Original date stamped copy on file. PETITION TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME COMMISSION TO LIST THE SHASTA SNOW-WREATH (NEVIUSIA CLIFTONII) AS ENDANGERED UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT September 30, 2019 KATHLEEN S. ROCHE Page 1 of 75 NOTICE OF PETITION For action pursuant to Section 670.1, Title 14, California Code of Regulations (CCR) (California Code 2019) and Sections 2072 and 2073 of the Fish and Game Code (California Fish and Game Code 2019) relating to listing and delisting endangered and threatened species of plants and animals. I. SPECIES BEING PETITIONED: Common Name: Shasta snow-wreath Scientific Name: Neviusia cliftonii II. RECOMMENDED ACTION To list as Endangered under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) (California Code 2019 and California Fish and Game Code 2019). CCR § 2062. Endangered species "Endangered species" means a native species or subspecies of a bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile, or plant which is in serious danger of becoming extinct throughout all, or a significant portion, of its range due to one or more causes, including loss of habitat, change in habitat, overexploitation, predation, competition, or disease. Any species determined by the commission as "endangered" on or before January 1, 1985, is an "endangered species." I, Kathleen S. Roche, submit this petition to the California Fish and Game Commission (CFGC) to list the Shasta snow-wreath (Neviusia cliftonii) as “endangered” in California, under the California Endangered Species Act (California Fish and Game Code §§ 2050 et seq.[California Code 2019 and California Fish and Game Code 2019]) (“CESA”). This petition demonstrates that the Shasta snow-wreath clearly warrants listing under CESA based on factors specified in the statute.
