Clyde F. Gillette Battus philenor (blue pipevine swallowtail) flies in the southern two- thirds of Arizona; in the Grand Canyon (especially at such places as Phantom Ranch 8/25 and Indian Gardens 12/38) and at its rims [(N) 23/75 and (S) 21/69]; in the low valleys of Clark Co., Nevada; and infrequently along the Meadow Valley Wash 7/23 which parallels the Utah/Nevada border in Lincoln Co., Nevada. Since this beautiful butterfly occasionally flies to the west, southwest, and south of Utah's southwest corner, one might expect it to turn up now and then in Utah's Mojave Desert physiographic subsection of the Basin and Range province on the lower southwest slopes of the Beaver Dam Mountains, Battus philenor Blue Pipevine Swallowtail Photo courtesy of Randy L. Emmitt www.rlephoto.com or sporadically fly up the "Dixie Corridor" along the lower Virgin River Valley. Even though both of these Lower Sonoran life zone areas reasons why philenor is not a habitual pipevine species.) Arizona's of Utah offer potentially suitable, resident of Utah's Dixie. But I think interesting plant is Aristolochia "nearby" living conditions for Bat. there is basically only one, and that is watsonii (indianroot pipevine), which phi. philenor, such movements have a complete lack of its larval has alternate leaves shaped like a not often taken place.

  • 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. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

  • Importance of Coastal Grasslands Point Reyes Seashore & Influence
    Importance of Coastal Grasslands Point Reyes Seashore & Influence of Shrub Establishment October 18, 2012 Central Coast Rangeland Coalition Fall 2012 Meeting Abstracts Why Do We Care about California’s Coastal Prairie? Dr. Grey Hayes, Restoration Ecologist, Elkhorn Slough Reserve In a very brief presentation, Dr. Hayes outlines some of the central concerns facing conservationists working to maintain biological diversity in California’s coastal prairie. A wealth of rare plant and wildlife species is found in this increasingly threatened plant community. Even when ‘protected,’ coastal prairie managers are afforded little funding and even less scientific certainty about how to manage this system. Will we find a way to care enough to save California’s coastal prairie species? Characteristics and Dynamics of California Coastal Grasslands Joe McBride, Professor, Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, University of California, Berkeley Grasslands of the coastal zone in California vary in species composition in relation to environmental gradients and grazing history. Studies of grasslands in Mt. Tamilpais State Park demonstrate the importance of the summer fog gradient in controlling species composition. The elimination of grazing from the park in the 1950s resulted in the "recovery" and/or "return" of native bunch grass species. The grasslands in Mt. Tamilpais State Park are now being invaded by coyote brush and Douglas-fir. A similar invasion has been noted in coastal grasslands in parks and open space areas of the San Francisco Bay area where livestock have been removed. Vegetation Community Change and Special Status Species in the Rangelands of Point Reyes National Seashore Amelia Ryan, Wetland and Plant Ecologist, Point Reyes National Seashore, National Park Service Point Reyes supports over 60 plant species that are considered rare, threatened, or endangered, including many that occur in grazed lands.

The national park was F E R N S established in 1968. In 1994, a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation added Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek, Athyriaceae – Lady Fern Family and Jedediah Smith Redwoods state parks to form a single administrative Athyrium filix-femina var. cyclosporum • northwestern lady fern unit. Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line. Almost half of the remaining old growth redwood forests Blechnaceae – Deer Fern Family are protected in these four parks.
