  • Welcome to the 32Nd Annual Wild Flower Hotline, Brought to You by the Theodore Payne Foundation, a Non-Profit Plant Nursery
    Welcome to the 32nd Annual Wild Flower 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 wild flowers and California native plants. This a report for April 25, 2014. New reports will be posted each Friday through the end of May. Wildflowers are fading in the low elevation desert regions, but we are getting some reports from local mountains above the 4000 ft elevation where spring and accompanying wildflowers are just arriving. Up near Idyllwild in the San Jacinto Mountains, take a hike on the Deer Springs Trail from the trail head at Hwy 243. There are some very sweet blooming species along the trail. Pink-bracted manzanita (Arctostaphylos pringlei ssp. drupacea) is an abundant flowering shrub. This is a gorgeous manzanita. Bajada lupine (Lupinus concinnus) and strigose lotus (Acmispon strigosus) are still at their peak and almost equally abundant. There is a lot of red-root cryptantha (Cryptantha micrantha) and whiskerbrush (Leptosiphon ciliatus). Martin's paintbrush (Castilleja i ssp. martinii) are spectacular lining the trail and Chaparral whitethorn (Ceanothus leucodermis) is still at peak bloom. Near the trail head, Parish's Jacumba milkvetch (Astragalus douglasii var. parishii) are at their showiest right now. California rock-cress (Boechera californica) are past their prime, but still around. Some golden yarrow (Eriophyllum confertiflorum var. confertiflorum) are starting to bloom, and the first of what is sure to be many sticky cinquefoil (Drymocallis glandulosa var. reflexa) can be found. There are only a few Southern mountain lupines (Lupinus excubitus var.

  • Updated Biological Inventory Report for the Rancho Malibu Religious Memorial Project, 4000 Malibu Canyon Road, City of Malibu, California
    November 18, 2015 Project Number 15-02065 Jake Jesson Assistant Project Manager Green Acres, LLC 22837 Pacific Coast Highway #775 Malibu, California 90265 Via Email: [email protected] Subject: Updated Biological Inventory Report for the Rancho Malibu Religious Memorial Project, 4000 Malibu Canyon Road, City of Malibu, California This letter report updates the previous findings of the Biological Inventory Report (BIR) for the Rancho Malibu Religious Memorial Project due to a change in the project scope and grading plan. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was first prepared for this site (CBA, 1997) and certified by the City of Malibu City Council (March 23, 1998) along with conditions of approval contained in Conditional Use Permit No. 96-005. A BIR was prepared for the project site by Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) in May 2007 for plans to build a 146 room luxury hotel. An updated report was prepared in September 2011 (Rincon) as part of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) application and Site Plan Review. In February of 2012, Rincon conducted a native tree assessment. In 2011 a reconnaissance survey and BIR update was prepared by Rincon to support the applicant’s plans to change the project from the development of a luxury hotel to a religious memorial and cemetery. This BIR (October 2015) documents the changes in potential impacts to special-status biological resources as they relate to the revised scope and grading plan for the proposed religious memorial and cemetery. PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The project site is located in the central portion of the City of Malibu, immediately north of Pacific Coast Highway between Malibu Canyon Road and Civic Center Way at 4000 Malibu Canyon Road.

It is closely related to Baccharis plummerae subsp. plummerae but differs in having narrow, subentire, typically conduplicate, sparsely villous to mostly glabrous leaves with glands occurring in depressions on the adaxial surface, more cylindrical inflorescences, and a distribution in open chaparral vegetation. The new taxon shares some characteristics with B. plum­ merae subsp. glabrata of northwestern San Luis Obispo County, e.g., smaller leaves, reduced vestiture, and occurrence in scrub habitat, but the two taxa appear to have developed independently from B.

  • 83. South Mountaineer Creek (Mountaineer Creek)
    83. South Mountaineer Creek (Mountaineer Creek) (Keeler-Wolf 1991c) Location This candidate RNA (cRNA) lies within the Tule River Ranger District, Sequoia National Forest. It is approximately 37.4 miles (60 km) from the Tule River Ranger Station and within the Golden Trout Wilderness. Its boundaries include all or portions of sections 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, and 14 of T20S, R31E, and sections 35 and 36 of T19S, R31E (36°12'30"N., 118°35'W.), USGS Camp Nelson quad (fig. 165). Ecological subsection – Upper Batholith (M261Eq). Target Element Red Fir (Abies magnifica) Distinctive Features Figure 165—South The area includes several age groups of red fir represented throughout most of Mountaineer Creek the cRNA’s environmental range. Widespread associates of the red fir forest, cRNA such as western white pine (Pinus monticola) and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta ssp. murrayana), also occur in typical conditions and densities on the cRNA. In addition to the identified target element, well-developed montane meadow and aquatic plant and fauna communities add value to this cRNA. Rare Plants: Two CNPS List 4 species occur in the cRNA. Sierra corydalis (Corydalis caseana ssp. caseana) is locally common and widespread in streamside and rivulet situations at 6900-8600 ft (2103-2621 m). Sierra corydalis is known in the S. Sierra Nevada only from Tulare County. Mineral King Draba (Draba cruciata) is restricted to rocky, N.-facing slopes at the highest elevations beneath open canopies of western white pine and red fir. Its location in the cRNA is within a mile (1.6 km) of the southernmost known occurrence for this taxon.

  • Sierra Nevada Framework FEIS Chapter 3
    table of contrents Sierra Nevada Forest Plan Amendment – Part 4.6 4.6. Vascular Plants, Bryophytes, and Fungi4.6. Fungi Introduction Part 3.1 of this chapter describes landscape-scale vegetation patterns. Part 3.2 describes the vegetative structure, function, and composition of old forest ecosystems, while Part 3.3 describes hardwood ecosystems and Part 3.4 describes aquatic, riparian, and meadow ecosystems. This part focuses on botanical diversity in the Sierra Nevada, beginning with an overview of botanical resources and then presenting a more detailed analysis of the rarest elements of the flora, the threatened, endangered, and sensitive (TES) plants. The bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), lichens, and fungi of the Sierra have been little studied in comparison to the vascular flora. In the Pacific Northwest, studies of these groups have received increased attention due to the President’s Northwest Forest Plan. New and valuable scientific data is being revealed, some of which may apply to species in the Sierra Nevada. This section presents an overview of the vascular plant flora, followed by summaries of what is generally known about bryophytes, lichens, and fungi in the Sierra Nevada. Environmental Consequences of the alternatives are only analyzed for the Threatened, Endangered, and Sensitive plants, which include vascular plants, several bryophytes, and one species of lichen. 4.6.1. Vascular plants4.6.1. plants The diversity of topography, geology, and elevation in the Sierra Nevada combine to create a remarkably diverse flora (see Section 3.1 for an overview of landscape patterns and vegetation dynamics in the Sierra Nevada). More than half of the approximately 5,000 native vascular plant species in California occur in the Sierra Nevada, despite the fact that the range contains less than 20 percent of the state’s land base (Shevock 1996).
