  • Rare Native Vascular Plants S
    RARE NATIVE VASCULAR PLANTS OF THE SOUTHERN OKANAGAN GRASSLANDS PROTECTED AREA FIELD REPORT " Douglas Ecological Consultants 2004 by George W. Douglas and Shyanne 1. Smith Douglas Ecological Consultants Ltd. August 12,2004 Funding Provided by The Nature Trust of British Columbia through the BrinklMcLean Grassland Conservation Fund OVERVIEW The Southern Okanagan Grasslands Protected Area was established in 2001 and encompasses about 4,481 ha of native grasslands in the southern Okanagan and southern Similkameen valleys of British Columbia. In the summer of2004, The Nature Trust, through the Brink/McLean Grassland Conservation Fund, provided Douglas Ecological Consultants Ltd. with funds to conduct a two-day inventory in the protected area for rare native vascular plants. The rare plants searched for during the inventory are those appearing on the British Columbia Conservation Data Centre's (BC CDC) Red/Blue lists (Douglas et a.12002). The study area has not been well inventoried and current knowledge, with respect to vascular plants, is minimal. METHODS Due to the brief inventory period, only a small part of the Southern Okanagan Grasslands Protected Area was examined. The study area consisted of a corridor about five km long and about 200 m wide through the Protected Area (Figure 1). This corridor followed the main, east-west dirt tract through the area, thus minimizing travel time and maximizing search time. The two-day search methodology consisted of examining various micro-habitats along the corridor likely to contain different species of rare plants. Once a rare plant population was located, a number of population attributes were recorded. These attributes included: GPS location, elevation, slope, aspect, habitat, plant associates in habitat, size of habitat, quality of the habitat, number of rare plant(s) present and quality of the element plant occurrence!.

  • 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

  • Identification of Plant Species for Crop Pollinator Habitat Enhancement in the Northern Prairies
    Journal of Pollination Ecology, 14(21), 2014, pp 218-234 IDENTIFICATION OF PLANT SPECIES FOR CROP POLLINATOR HABITAT ENHANCEMENT IN THE NORTHERN PRAIRIES Diana B. Robson* The Manitoba Museum, 190 Rupert Avenue, Winnipeg, MB Canada R3B 0N2 Abstract—Wild pollinators have a positive impact on the productivity of insect-pollinated crops. Consequently, landowners are being encouraged to maintain and grow wildflower patches to provide habitat for important pollinators. Research on plant-pollinator interaction matrices indicates that a small number of “core” plants provide a disproportionately high amount of pollen and nectar to insects. This matrix data can be used to help design wildflower plantings that provide optimal resources for desirable pollinators. Existing interaction matrices from three tall grass prairie preserves in the northern prairies were used to identify core plant species that are visited by wild pollinators of a common insect-pollinated crop, namely canola (Brassica napus L.). The wildflower preferences of each insect taxon were determined using quantitative insect visitation and floral abundance data. Phenology data were used to calculate the degree of floral synchrony between the wildflowers and canola. Using this information I ranked the 41 wildflowers that share insect visitors with canola according to how useful they are for providing pollinators with forage before and after canola flowers. The top five species were smooth blue aster (Symphyotrichum laeve (L.) A. & D. Löve), stiff goldenrod (Solidago rigida L.), wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa L.), purple prairie-clover (Dalea purpurea Vent.) and Lindley’s aster (Symphyotrichum ciliolatum (Lindl.) A. & D. Löve). By identifying the most important wild insects for crop pollination, and determining when there will be “pollen and nectar gaps”, appropriate plant species can be selected for companion plantings to increase pollinator populations and crop production.

  • Wet Meadow Plant Associations, Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Harney County, Oregon
    WET MEADOW PLANT ASSOCIATIONS, DOUBLE O UNIT, MALHEUR NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, HARNEY COUNTY, OREGON John A. Christy Oregon Biodiversity Information Center, Institute for Natural Resources Portland State University July 2016 Summary This report summarizes vegetation data collected in July 2015 in wet meadow and marshy habitats on the Double O Unit of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR). Because vegetation sampled at the Double O was wetter and more alkaline than wet meadows sampled at the south end of the refuge in 2012 and 2013 (Christy 2014), data from the Double O Unit were analyzed and summarized separately. A total of 83 plots were sampled in 2015, and analysis of the data identified 14 plant associations: Alopecurus aequalis - Juncus balticus, Alopecurus pratensis - Potentilla anserina, Carex praegracilis - Juncus balticus, Cicuta douglasii - Carex nebrascensis, Distichlis spicata - Amphiscirpus nevadensis, Distichlis spicata - Nitrophila occidentalis, Eleocharis palustris - Juncus balticus, Eleocharis rostellata, Juncus balticus - Glaux maritima, Hippuris vulgaris - Triglochin maritima, Leymus triticoides - Juncus balticus, Schoenoplectus americanus, Spartina gracilis, and Triglochin maritima. Plant associations spanned a wetland gradient from seasonally moist to seasonally or perennially flooded, but surface water had left most stands at time of sampling. Mean Wetland Indicator Status scores and species composition help to place the plant associations within gradients in soil moisture and alkalinity. Seven of the 14 plant associations are listed in the International Vegetation Classification, and the remaining types are provisional. Acknowledgments Jess Wenick and Chad Karges of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR) provided guidance, logistical support, and funding to The Wetlands Conservancy (TWC) for this project. Esther Lev of TWC coordinated the project and provided guidance as a member of the Ecology Woring Group (EWG).

  • Asters of Yesteryear (Updated April 2018)
    Asters of Yesteryear (Updated April 2018) About this Update: The document was originally posted in a shorter version, to accompany the brief article "Where Have all our Asters Gone?" in the Fall 2017 issue of Sego Lily. In that version it consisted simply of photos of a number of plants that had at some time been included in Aster but that no longer are, as per Flora of North America. In this version I have added names to the photos to indicate how they have changed since their original publication: Date and original name as published (Basionym) IF name used in Intermountain Flora (1994) UF name used in A Utah Flora (1983-2016) FNA name used in Flora of North America (2006) I have also added tables to show the renaming of two groups of species in the Astereae tribe as organized in Intermountain Flora. Color coding shows how splitting of the major genera largely follows fault lines already in place No color Renamed Bright Green Conserved Various Natural groupings $ Plant not in Utah It is noteworthy how few species retain the names used in 1994, but also how the renaming often follows patterns already observed. Asters of Yesteryear (Updated April 2018) Here are larger photos (16 inches wide or tall at normal screen resolution of 72 dpi) of the plants shown in Sego Lily of Fall 2017, arranged by date of original publication. None of them (except Aster amellus on this page) are now regarded as true asters – but they all were at one stage in their history. Now all are in different genera, most of them using names that were published over 100 years ago.
