Appendix C: Plant Palette appendix c: plant pallete plant palette The Plant Palette identifies shade, understory and small trees, shrubs, groundover, perennials and ornamental grasses appropriate for the projects identified within the Urban Greening Plan and consistent with the policy direction defined by the Urban Greening objectives. The Plants defined as part of this plant palette do not represent an exhaustive list of appropriate or approved plants; they were developed to identify context- sensitive plant recommendations for El Cerrito’s streets, parks, and open spaces. This palette may be used to provide plant guidance to private projects interested in achieving the benefits identified by this Plan. This Palette is a living document and may be updated over time to better reflect changing environmental conditions. If the Plant Palette and the City’s current Master Tree List are in conflict, the current Master Tree List will take precedence.

  • (Myrtaceae) from Borneo
    Gardens' Bulletin Singapore 57 (2005) 269-278 269 New Tristaniopsis Peter G.Wilson & J.T.Waterh. (Myrtaceae) From Borneo P. S. ASHTON Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University, 22 Divinity Avenue Cambridge MA 02138, U.S.A. and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 3AB, U.K. Abstract Three new species, Tristaniopsis kinabaluensis P.S.Ashton, T. microcmpa P.S.Ashton and T. wbiginosa S.Teo ex P.S.Ashton, and three new subspecies, Tristaniopsis kinabaluensis ssp. silamensis P.S.Ashton, T. merguensis ssp. tavaiensis P.S.Ashton and T. whitiana ssp. monostemon P.S.Aston, are described from northern Borneo, in preparation for a treatment of the Myrtaceae for the Tree Flora of Sabah and Sarawak. Introduction Species definition in Tristaniopsis Peter G.Wilson & J.T.Waterh. (formerly Tristania R. Br.) has proven to be even more difficult in Borneo than among the notorious and much larger myrtaceous genus Syzygium Gaertn. Leaf size and shape is variable. The number of stamens, which are clustered opposite the petals, is characteristic of each species but, although at most 10 per cluster, may vary in exceptional cases. Here, we adopt a conservative species concept, awaiting regional monographic and phylogenetic research. Eventually, and with further flowering collections, some at least of the infrapecific taxa described here may be raised to species rank. All specimens examined have been at the Kew herbarium unless otherwise stated. 1. Tristaniopsis kinabaluensis P.S.Ashton, sp. llOV.

  • Recommended Street Tree Species List San Francisco Urban Forestry Council
    Recommended Street Tree Species List San Francisco Urban Forestry Council The Urban Forestry Council annually reviews and updates this list of trees, in collaboration with public and non-profit urban forestry stakeholders, including San Francisco’s Department of Public Works Urban Forestry Division and Friends of the Urban Forest. It’s important to carefully match the conditions of your site with the tree you choose. Please note that while this list contains recommendations that are known to do well in many locations in San Francisco, no tree is perfect for every potential tree planting location in San Francisco. This list should be used as a guideline for choosing which street tree to plant, but should not be used without the help of a tree professional. Species that perform well in many locations in San Francisco Evergreen Deciduous Arbutus x ‘Marina’ Prunus cerasifera ‘Krauter Vesuvius’ Callistemon citrinus Prunus serrulata ‘Kwanzan’ Callistemon viminalis Pyrus calleryana ‘Chanticleer’ Cordyline australis Small Eriobotrya deflexa Magnolia grandiflora ‘St. Mary,’ ‘Little Gem’ Pyrus kawakamii Tristaniopsis laurina Tristaniopsis laurina ‘Elegant’ Evergreen Deciduous Melaleuca linarifolia Pyrus calleryana ‘Aristocrat’ Melaleuca quinquenervia Metrosideros excelsus Medium Olea europaea Trachycarpus fortunei Evergreen Deciduous Lagunaria patersonii Ginkgo biloba ‘Autumn Gold’, ‘Saratoga’ Lophostemon confertus (formerly Tristania Platanus x acerifolia ‘Bloodgood,’ ‘Yarwood’ conferta) Tilia cordata Large Magnolia grandiflora ‘Sam Sommers,’

Box 37, Lyme, NH 03768, USA Abstract: We evaluated the release of rehabilitated, orphan black bears (Ursus americanus) in northern New Hampshire. Eleven bears (9 males, 2 females; 40–45 kg) were outfi tted with GPS radio-collars and released during May and June of 2011 and 2012. Bears released in 2011 had higher apparent survival and were not observed or reported in any nuisance behavior, whereas no bears released in 2012 survived, and all were involved in minor nuisance behavior. Analysis of GPS locations indicated that bears in 2011 had access to and used abundant natural forages or habitat. Conversely, abundance of soft and hard mast was lower in 2012, suggesting that nuisance behavior, and consequently survival, was inversely related to availability of natural forage. Dispersal from the release site ranged from 3.4–73 km across both years, and no bear returned to the rehabilitation facility (117 km distance). Rehabilitation appears to be a valid method for addressing certain orphan bear issues in New Hampshire.
