Taxonomic relationships Phylogenetic work shows Lepidospartum is most closely allied with Tetradymia (Pelser et al. 2007). There are three species of Lepidospartum in North America (FNA 2016). Lepidospartum latisquamum S. Watson occurs in desert washes and fans in eastern California, Utah, and Nevada from about 3,000 to 8,200 ft (915 to 2,500 m). L. burgessii B. L. Turner is a rare taxon associated with gypsum soils in desert basins of New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico. E. Related taxa in region L. latisquamum potentially overlaps in distribution with L. squamatum in the Mojave Desert region and lower edges of the San Gabriel Mountains from the Cajon Pass area northward. It differs from L. squamatum in having fewer (only 4–6) flowers per head, corollas extending well beyond the involucre, tomentose phyllaries, and much longer, thread or needle like leaves (20–30 mm). -

Bucculatricidae) from California
J01lrnal of the Lepidopterists' Society 51( 3),1997, 227- 236 TWO NEW SPECIES OF ASTERACEAE-FEEDING BUCCULATRIX (BUCCULATRICIDAE) FROM CALIFORNIA DANIEL Z, RUBINOFF D epartment of Environmental Scie nce Policy and Management, University of C aliiomia, Berke ley, California 94720, USA AND K E NDALL H, OSBOHNE De partme nt of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, California 92521, USA ABSTRACT. Bucculatrix tetradymiae, new species and Uucculatrix dominatrix, new species are described and illustrated. Bucculatrix tetradymiae feeds on Tetradyrnia axillaris (Strothe r) (Asteraceae) and Bucculatrix dominatrix feeds on Baccharis pilularis (d e Candolle) (Asteraceae) and can be distinguished from sympatric, Baccharis-feeding Bucclliatrix variahilis (Braun) and Bucculatrix separa!?ilis (Brann) by its large r size, dis tinct forewing pattern, and genitalia. Additional key words: Tetrydamia, Baccharis, leaf miner, Lyone tiidae , microlepi doptera. Zimmerman (197R) resurrccted the family Bucculatricidae (Bucculat rigidae) from Lyonetiidae, a move first proposed by Fracker (1915). The family is e asily discerned, being characterized by an "elongate pointed face , tufted head, basal eye-cap of the ante nna and, in the male, the notched first segment of the flagellum ... " (Braun 1963). The larvae typically are leaf miners in the early ins tars, and then become external feeders, although a few species maturc in the mine and some are gall makers. For a complete d escription of the family refe r to Braun (1963). The family is cosmopolitan with 222 species described from all land forms except New Ze aland (H eppner 1991). More than 100 occur in North America, mostly in arid regions (Braun 1963), Larvae of many weste rn spe cies feed on Aste raceae, including the two species we de scribe h ere . -

IMPORTANT SHRUBS FOR WILDLAND PLANTINGS, COMPOSITAE (ASTERACEAE) E.

These are the salt desert shrubs. Sagebrush (Artemisia) is a continental and sagebrush types. Each type can be scale dominant; rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus), subdivided. Stutz (this proceedings), Blauer goldenbush (Haplopappus), matchbrush and others (1976), and McArthur and others (Xanthocephalum), and horsebrush (Tetradymia) (1978b) treat the salt desert spec1es, mainly are also important. These shrubs provide soil Atriplex. Sagebrush (Artemisia, subgenus stabilization, feed, cover, and other present Tridentatae) dominated lands were separated into and potential uses. Their value for wildlife the sagebrush steppe, Great Basin sagebrush, and habitat is substantial. Of the wildlife wheatgrass-needlegrass shrubsteppe types by species in sagebrush vegetation types, 87 are K~chler (1964). Finer divisions into habitat identified. Positive values of composite types listing two to four major species have shrubs have generally been underestimated. been and are being made (Hironaka 1979; Winward 1980; 1983; Blaisdell and others 1982). One should bear in mind, however, that mosaics of INTRODUCTION the various salt desert and sagebrush types often occur. Other composite family shrubs, The Intermountain West is, in large measure, rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus), goldenbush shrubland (Kuchler 1964; Bailey 1976). For (Haplopappus), matchbrush or snakeweed example, about 46 percent of Wyoming's land (Xanthocephalum), and horsebrush (Tetradymia) area, under natural conditions, is dominated by also occur in considerable numbers in the salt shrubby vegetation (McArthur 1981). -

WOOD ANATOMY of SENECIONEAE (COMPOSITAE) SHERWIN Carlquist1 Claremont Graduate School, Claremont
ALISO VOL. 5, No. 2,pp. 123-146 MARcH 30,1962 WOOD ANATOMY OF SENECIONEAE (COMPOSITAE) SHERWIN CARLQuIST1 Claremont Graduate School, Claremont. California INTRODUCTION The tribe Senecioneae contains the largest genus of flowering plants, Senecio (between 1,000 and 2,000 species). Senecioneae also encompasses a number of other genera. Many species of Sen ecio, as well as species of certain other senecionean genera, are woody, despite the abundance of herbaceous Senecioneae in the North Temperate Zone. Among woody species of Senecioneae, a wide variety of growth forms is represented. Most notable are the peculiar rosette trees of alpine Africa, the subgenus Dendrosenecio of Senecio. These are represented in the present study of S. aberdaricus (dubiously separable from S. batiescombez according to Hedberg, 1957), 5. adnivalis, S. cottonii, and S. johnsionii. The Dendro senecios have been discussed with respect to taxonomy and distribution by Hauman (1935) and Hedberg (1957). Cotton (1944) has considered the relationship between ecology and growth form of the Dendrosenecios, and anatomical data have been furnished by Hare (1940) and Hauman (1935), but these authors furnish little information on wood anatomy. Interestingly, the same rosette-tree habit of growth occurs in the Mexican species Senecio praecox, which belongs in another section of the genus. This species has been studied morphologically and anatomically by Reiche (1921). Many of the woody Senecioneae fall in the category of small trees or various-sized shrubs. These include Senecio man nii of West Africa and S. multicorymbosus of Angola. Seneczo ecuadoriensis (nthwestern South America), S. petasloides (South America), S. picridis (Mexico), 5. -

Native Plants for Northern Arizona Landscapes Draft A
NATIVE PLANTS FOR NORTHERN ARIZONA LANDSCAPES DRAFT A Janice Busco, Horticulturist Cheryl Casey, Assistant Horticulturist Copyright July 27, 2000 The Arboretum at Flagstaff 4001 South Woody Mountain Road Flagstaff, AZ 86001 (520) 774-1442 www.thearb.org 1 HOW TO PRACTICE ENVIRONMENTAL HORTICULTURE Environmental horticulture utilizes an understanding and awareness of your site and the native plants available to you and the landscape features and gardening techniques which will collect and preserve water resources. This approach allows for both natural reproduction of plants and their establishment in the landscape. 1. Know your site, its seasonal fluctuations, natural weather cycles and microclimates. 2. Know the plants and features already present on your site. 3. Use water harvesting techniques—cistern, channeling and contours, planting rings, low spots, etc. 4. Use rocks and mulches to conserve and collect water. 5. Use some higher-water using plants to create shade and create protected zones of higher humidity. 6. Visit natural areas with like microclimates to your site and see how, where and in what combinations native plants occur. Look at native plant gardens and see what you like and what works. Once you know your site and its microclimates, you can use native plants from many different habitats in your landscape. 7. Create a healthy, open soil. Use organic soil amendments such as compost and composted manure tilled into the soil to create an open soil, which will allow water to enter. Organic matter will also help cindery and excessively drained soils hold water. 8. Plant with the seasons. Usually, this means waiting for the monsoon season. -
