In addition, Mr. Masters is requesting that the Service include the Ben Lomond Wallflower (Erysimum teretifolium), and the Ben Lomond Spineflower (Chorizanthe pungens var. hartwegiana) on the incidental take permit, but that the permit is not being sought for incidental take of these two plant taxa. The potential taking would occur incidental to development of 13 single-family residences at an undeveloped, 18.07-acre parcel (APN 022-631-22) owned by the Applicant and located on Bean Creek Road in Scotts Valley (Santa Cruz, County), CA.

  • On the Taxonomic Status of the Varieties of Chorizanthe Angustifolia (Polygonaceae)
    Phytotaxa 455 (1): 001–008 ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) https://www.mapress.com/j/pt/ PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2020 Magnolia Press Article ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) https://doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.455.1.1 On the taxonomic status of the varieties of Chorizanthe angustifolia (Polygonaceae) DAVID GOWEN1,3* & LEIGH A. JOHNSON2,4 1 University of California, University and Jepson Herbaria, Berkeley, California 94720, U.S.A. 2 Department of Biology and M.L. Bean Life Science Museum, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah 84602, U.S.A. 3 �[email protected]; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0317-7691 4 �[email protected]; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1026-0944 *Author for correspondence. Abstract Chorizanthe angustifolia var. eastwoodiae was named by Goodman in 1934, but has since generally been ignored as a taxon. A limited number of C. angustifolia var. angustifolia collections available for comparison and lack of clearly defined characters differentiating the two varieties likely account for the taxonomic concept for C. angustifolia that rejects infraspecific taxa. Nevertheless, several characters previously unnoted in floristic literature distinguish var. angustifolia from var. eastwoodiae. Variety angustifolia is a yellow-green plant with straw-colored tepals that are narrow and long-pointed, and has 3 stamens per flower. Variety eastwoodiae is a pinkish plant with pink, rounded and often erose tepals, with 8–9 stamens per flower. Morphological differences and comparative DNA sequencing indicate the two varieties are better treated as separate species. A new combination (C. eastwoodiae comb. et stat. nov.) is proposed and typification of the name C. angustifolia is clarified.

    November 17, 2016 Ms. Catherine Darst Assistant Field Supervisor U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office 2493 Portola Road, Suite B Ventura, CA 93003 Sent by electronic mail to: [email protected] RE: Comments from California Native Plant Society on the Federal Register notice for the Chorizanthe parryi ssp. fernandina proposed rule Dear Ms. Darst: The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) has reviewed the proposed listing rule for Chorizanthe parryi ssp. fernandina, or San Fernando Valley spineflower (SFV spineflower, or SFVS), and provide the following comments. We find the species occurrence information presented in the SFVS Species Report for the Laskey Mesa and Santa Clarita (Newhall Ranch) populations is complete. However we do not agree with the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS, or Service) conclusion that this species qualifies for listing as Threatened. Rather, based on all available information and existing conditions, we believe this species meets the requirements for listing as Endangered, and we recommend the Service list it as Endagnered for the reasons described below. SFVS should be listed as Endangered not Threatened The proposed rule clearly describes the only two populations known for SFVS, one with an approved development that will significantly diminish its survival potential, and the very real potential for random stochastic events such a modified climate to alter the habitat suitability of both. Based on our review of the information presented in the proposed rule, we believe there is clear evidence of imminent threats of high magnitude for the extinction potential of Chorizanthe parryi ssp. fernandina. The species report states, "At this time, we conclude that there may not be sufficient resiliency, representation, or redundancy to sustain SFVS over the long term, given current and future stressors acting upon the taxon".
