  • Literature Cited
    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 19, 20, and 21, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbre- viated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”. Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes.

    The genetics, nature and occurrence of self-and cross-incompatibility in four annual species of Coreopsis L. by Jagan Nath Sharma A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in GENETICS Montana State University © Copyright by Jagan Nath Sharma (1971) Abstract: Four annual species of Coreopsis L. (Compositae: Heliantheae: Coreop-sidinae), C. bigelovii. (A. Gray) H. M. Hall, C. calliopsidea (DC.) A. Gray, C. califomica (Nutt.) Sharsmith, and C. tinctoria Nutt., were studied to determine the genetics of their self-incompatibility mechanisms. Diallel -cross, backcross, and F2 studies revealed that these species have a sporo-phytic, multiple allelic, monogenic system of self-incompatibility. C. tinctoria had 7 multiple alleles, while C. bigelovii and C. califomica had 5 multiple alleles each. The number of multiple alleles could not be assigned to C. calliopsidea. Cytological studies' revealed a strong correlation between the sporophytic system of self-incompatibility and the stigma as the site of pollen inhibition. Meiotic chromosome numbers for all four species were determined as n=12. Secondary associations between different bivalents were found in all four species studied; these point toward some form of polyploidy associated with the genus. Significant heterosis for horticultural traits was detected and a method of producing F1 hybrid cultivars in Coreopsis tinctoria, using incompatibility as a technique, has been suggested.

These data requests are the result of the workshop discussion held at Primm, Nevada on June 23, 2008.Within each discipline area, the responses are presented in alphabetical order and are numbered for tracking and reference convenience. New graphics or tables are numbered in reference to the Supplemental Data Request number. For example, if a table were used in response to Data Request AQ-1, it would be numbered Table AQ1-1. The first figure used in response to Data Request AQ-1 would be Figure AQ1-1, and so on. AFC figures or tables that have been revised have “R1” following the original number, indicating revision 1. Additional tables, figures, or documents submitted in response to a supplemental data request (supporting data, stand-alone documents such as plans, folding graphics, etc.) are found at the end of a discipline-specific section and may not be sequentially page-numbered consistently with the remainder of the document, though they may have their own internal page numbering system.

  • NEW SPECIES of GAMOCHAETA (ASTERACEAE: GNAPHALIEAE) from the EASTERN UNITED STATES and COMMENTS on SIMILAR SPECIES Guy L
    NEW SPECIES OF GAMOCHAETA (ASTERACEAE: GNAPHALIEAE) FROM THE EASTERN UNITED STATES AND COMMENTS ON SIMILAR SPECIES Guy L. Nesom Botanical Research Institute of Texas 509 Pecan Street Fort Worth, Texas 76102-4060, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Gamochaeta argyrinea Nesom, sp. nov., is documented from 19 states, primarily in the southeastern U.S.A., and from Puerto Rico. It is a common and abundant species of ruderal habitats and has usu- ally been identified within a broad concept of Gamochaeta purpurea, which has a similar but broader geographic range. Gamochaeta argyrinea apparently is most closely similar to G. ustulata, another species commonly identified as G. purpurea but native to the Pacific coast region of the U.S.A. and adjacent Canada. Gamochaeta chionesthes Nesom, sp. nov., is described from localities in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina—these plants also have been identified previously primarily as G. purpurea. A key and distribution maps are pro- vided for the six species of Gamochaeta in the U.S.A. with strongly bicolored leaves: G. argyrinea, G. ustulata, G. chionesthes, G. purpurea, G. simplicicaulis, and G. coarctata. The name Gamochaeta americana has been misapplied to G. coarctata, but G. americana sensu stricto has not been docu- mented for the U.S.A.; it occurs in the Antilles, Central America, Mexico, and South America and is reported to occur elsewhere as an adventive. In order to further clarify its identity, a technical de- scription and commentary are provided for G. americana. RESUMEN Se documenta Gamochaeta argyrinea Nesom, sp. nov., de 19 estados, principalmente del Sureste de U.S.A., y de Puerto Rico.

  • Welcome to the 27Th Annual Wildflower Hotline, Brought to You by the Theodore Payne Foundation, a Non-Profit Plant Nursery, Seed
    Welcome back to the 28th 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. The glory of spring has really kicked into high gear as many deserts, canyons, parks, and natural areas are ablaze of color – so get out there and enjoy the beauty of California wildflowers. This week we begin at the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument in Palm Desert, where the Randall Henderson and Art Smith Trails are ablaze with beavertail cactus (Opuntia basilaris), Arizona lupine (Lupinus arizonicus), little gold poppy (Eschscholzia minutiflora), chuparosa (Justicia californica), brittlebush (Encelia farinosa), desert lavender (Hyptis emoryi), wild heliotrope (Phacelia distans), and apricot mallow (Sphaeralcea ambigua). If you are heading to Palm Springs for the weekend, take a trip along Palm Canyon Dr. where the roadside is radiant with sand verbena (Abronia villosa), Fremont pincushion (Chaenactis fremontii), desert dandelion (Malacothrix glabrata), forget-me-not (Cryptantha sp.), Spanish needle (Palafoxia arida), Arizona Lupine (Lupinus arizonicus), and creosote bush (Larrea tridentata). While in the area check out Tahquitz Canyon, in the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation, off West Mesquite Ave., which is still decorated with desert dandelion (Malacothrix glabrata), pymy golden poppy (Eschscholzia minutiflora), white fiesta flower (Pholistoma membranaceum), California sun cup (Camissonia californica), brown-eyed primrose (Camissonia claviformis), and more. NOTE: This is a 2-mile loop trail that requires some scrambling over rocks. Just north of I-10, off Varner Road, Edom Hill is a carpet of color with Arizona lupine (Lupinus arizonicus), sand verbena (Abronia villosa), Fremont pincushion (Chaenactis fremontii), and croton (Croton californicus), along with a sprinkling of desert sunflower (Geraea canescens) and dyebush (Psorothamnus emoryi).
