The Botrychiaceae of Alberta
The Botrychiaceae of Alberta a survey of element occurrences of the genera Botrychium and Sceptridium in Alberta A Report by Patrick Williston MNIUM ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH To Resource Data Division Alberta Sustainable Resource Development January 2002 THE BOTRYCHIACEAE OF ALBERTA a survey of element occurrences of the genera Botrychium and Sceptridium in Alberta Botrychium ‘michiganense’ 1 INTRODUCTION With 14 listed species, the moonworts, those ferns belonging to the genus Botrychium, are the largest group of rare ferns in Alberta (Gould 2001). This group has appropriately attracted the attention of organizations and government agencies responsible for maintaining biological diversity, both within the province and abroad. With a view to assessing the conservation status of the moonworts, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development funded the publication of a small book that addressed the taxonomy and distributional ecology of these ferns within Alberta (Williston 2001). In the adjacent United States, rare Botrychium species have been the focus of no fewer than six recent reports and conservation strategies (Zika 1994; Zika et al. 1995; Vanderhorst 1997; Hopkins 1999; Farrar 2001; Kolb & Spribille 2001). In 2001, a project was initiated by Alberta Sustainable Resource Development to identify potential threats to these species and their habitats in Alberta. The objectives of the project were to revisit known populations of rare Botrychium species, search for new populations, document (using photographs and Vegetation Description Forms) the characteristics of their habitats, and evaluate potential threats to their security. A synthesis of the data collected during this project is presented in this summary report. METHODS A list of all historical locations of Botrychium populations based upon herbarium collections and additional records from the provincial rare plant database was obtained from the Alberta Natural Heritage Information Centre (ANHIC). -

However it is inconspicuous and difficult to locate, search efforts early in the spring, suitable for this species, will most likely reveal additional populations as well as provide better assessment of known populations.

Botrychium Campestre Var. Lineare
Botrychium campestre var. lineare Family: Ophioglossaceae Genus: Botrychium Species: Botrychium campestre var. lineare (W. H. Wagner) Farrar comb. nov. ined. Common name: Slender Moonwort Ploidy: Diploid Technical description—A small Botrychium, the leaf 6-18 cm long above the upright subterranean stem 0.5-3.0 cm long. Trophophore sessile to stalked up to 1 cm. Blade oblong, 1-pinnate. Pinna pairs 4-6, strongly separated by 2-5 times the width of segments, to moderately ascending, approximately equal in length, except for shorter apical 1-4 pairs of segments. Pinnae mostly straight, slightly upcurved, narrowly linear (narrowest in small plants), often expanded at the truncate apex or rarely linear- spatulate, commonly bifid with linear lobes. Color pale green; texture thick chartaceous, rigid. Sporophore 1-2 times the length of trophophore, with a single major axis. (Wagner and Wagner, 1994 as B. lineare) Taxonomy Botrychium lineare was described as a new species in 1994 by W. H. Wagner (Wagner and Wagner, American Fern Journal 84:5-10), based on type specimens from Wollowa Co., Oregon. Silhouettes of the species are included in that publication. From a genetic comparison of B. lineare and B. campestre throughout the range of these two taxa, D. R. Farrar concluded that these taxa are best treated as varieties of a single species, B. campestre (see discussion below). In describing B. lineare, Wagner recognized its close relationship to B. campestre. Genetic identity, a statistical measure of the allelic similarity between taxa, between these two species at a value 0.8 (see Moonwort Systematics) is much higher that that generally expected between species within a genus (usually 0.7 or lower). -
Criteria for Designating Plant Species of Special Concern and Significant Natural Communities
Criteria for Designating Plant Species of Special Concern and Significant Natural Communities As described in the recently updated Goals and Policies of the Environmental Resources Elements (the ERE) of the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan, Species of Special Concern include the flora and fauna in the county whose populations may be threatened or endangered, locally rare, experiencing long-term non-cyclical population declines, isolated or restricted to distinct local habitat types, or native species which have ceased to exist within Boulder County. As provided for in Goal B.2 of the ERE, the Boulder County Species of Special Concern List (SSC List) includes this compilation of rare plants and significant natural communities of special status that warrant protection in order to prevent population or habitat loss. The list was developed through consultation with botany and plant ecology professionals in federal, state, and local governmental agencies, non- governmental conservation organizations, local universities, and private consultants, as well as Boulder County conservation experts. The majority of species and communities appearing on this list are recognized by the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP). CNHP is a non-profit organization sponsored by Colorado State University that tracks and ranks Colorado’s rare and imperiled species and habitats. The list comprises species CNHP ranks as critically imperiled, imperiled, or vulnerable to extirpation globally (G1-G3) or statewide (S1-S3). Species ranked as more secure or secure (G4-G5, S4-S5) are excluded from the list. The SSC List is intended to comprehensively document Boulder County species and communities as they exist today. To be listed on the SSC List, a species/community must meet at least one of the required or two or more of the conditional criteria. -
