Forest and Plant Communities of Mt Rainier • The zones show regular patterns that result in “associations” of certain shrubs and herbs relating to the dominant, climax tree species. • The nature of the understory vegetation is largely determined by the amount of moisture available and the microclimates that exist. Forest Zones of Mt Rainier • Western Hemlock Zone – below 3,000 ft • Silver Fir Zone – between 2,500 and 4,700 ft • Mountain Hemlock Zone – above 4,000 ft Since most of the field trips will start above 4,000 ft we will only discuss plants found in the Mountain Hemlock Zone and above.

The taxonomic treatment relies on a wide comparative basis, including macro- and micromorphological, karyological, chorological and ecological data. After a general description of some poorly known microCharacters of vegetative and reproductive structures, analytical keys, nomenclatural types, synonymies, descriptions, distribution maps and iconographies are provided for each entity.

  • Anchusa Crispa Viv. Subsp. Crispa
    IN SITU CONSERVATION - SPECIES INFORMATION SHEET Project partner: National Botanical Conservatory of Corsica of the Office of the Environment of Corsica Island CORSICA Species name (Family) Anchusa crispa Viv. subsp. crispa (Boraginaceae) Common name French: Buglosse crépue Plant description V Herbaceous taxa, hispid, initially in a rosette of hard leaves, prostrate on the sand, then presenting with floriferous stems, leafy, littlely branched from the rosette. Leaved leaves, oblong, sinuated-crispy, from 4-10 mm broad to 3-20 cm long. Terminal inflorescences fomed uniparous scorpioid cymes, elongating during the flowering period, with bearing flowers onaxils of small hairy bracts. Small, actinomorphous, gamosepal calyx flowers and blue gamopetal corolla. Fruits: 4 achenes per flower, with a very small aril. V Flowering occurs between April and May. Fruiting from late May to September. Pollination is done by insects and the seed spread is generally barochorial, even some cases of zoochory is signaled due to ants and caws. V A. crispa is a sabulicolous, heliophilous, nitrophilous or subnitrophilic plant, xerophilic, well tolerant of sea salt, but very sensitive to sand cover during storms Distribution This species is endemic of Corsica and Sardinia. There are: 2 populations located in the east coast of Corsica and 8 populations located on the sand along the North West of Sardinia. Map Two subspecies of A. crispa exist in Corsica: A. crispa valincoana and A. crispa crispa . The crispa subspecies is only present on the east coast of the island. There are only two populations highly threatened by tourism activities. IN SITU CONSERVATION - SPECIES INFORMATION SHEET Legal status A.

Executive Summary This survey was a continuation of several years of rare plant survey on San Juan Public Lands. Funding for the project was provided by San Juan National Forest and the San Juan Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management. Previous rare plant surveys on San Juan Public Lands by CNHP were conducted in conjunction with county wide surveys of La Plata, Archuleta, San Juan and San Miguel counties, with partial funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO); and in 2004, public lands only in Dolores and Montezuma counties, funded entirely by the San Juan Public Lands. Funding for 2005 was again provided by San Juan Public Lands. The primary emphases for field work in 2005 were: 1. revisit and update information on rare plant occurrences of agency sensitive species in the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) database that were last observed prior to 2000, in order to have the most current information available for informing the revision of the Resource Management Plan for the San Juan Public Lands (BLM and San Juan National Forest); 2.

It includes four sub-populations around the Gulf of Valinco, near Propriano. It differs by several morphological characters from Anchusa crispa Viv. subsp. crispa, present on two sites of the Corsican east coast, south of Solenzara and in several localities of the north-west coast of Sardinia, notably by its reddish flowering stems, subglabrous lower surface of leaves, bracts with subglabrous upper surface and glabrous below and its flowers with dark blue corolla. It also differs from Anchusa crispa subsp. maritima (Vals.) Selvi & Bigazzi, a Sardinian endemic, located on some sites of the north coast of Sardinia, a taxon with brownish or greenish flowering stems, linear leaves and bracts with upper surface minutely pubescent.
