Botanical Survey Report Horseshoe Pond Restoration Project Point Reyes National Seashore Marin County, California
Botanical Survey Report Horseshoe Pond Restoration Project Point Reyes National Seashore Marin County, California Prepared By: Lorraine Parsons Point Reyes National Seashore Division of Natural Resources Management Point Reyes Station, CA 94956 May 17, 2002 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 REGULATORY BACKGROUND The purpose of this report is to provide background information regarding botanical resources within the Horseshoe Pond Restoration Project area (Proposed Project Area). Point Reyes National Seashore (Seashore) is preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Proposed Project. Background information in this report will be used to guide development and assess potential environmental impacts of the Proposed Project. As part of the EA, the Seashore must consider whether the Proposed Project could impact special status plant species, as well as special status wildlife species and other sensitive biological resources such as wetlands and riparian areas. Special status plant species include those that are legally protected under the federal and California Endangered Species Acts (ESA) or other regulations and species that are considered rare by the scientific community. Special status species are defined as: • plants that are listed or proposed for listing as threatened or endangered under the California ESA (Fish and Game Code §2050 et seq.; 14 CCR §670.1 et seq.) and/or the federal ESA (50 CFR 17.11 for animals; various notices in the Federal Register [FR] for proposed species); • plants that are candidates for possible future listing as threatened or endangered under the federal ESA (61 FR 7506 February 28, 1996); • plants that meet the definition of rare or endangered under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (14 CCR §15380) which includes species not found on state or federal endangered species lists; • plants that are designated as “species of concern” (former category 2 candidates for listing) by the U.S. -

Brittonia 57: 334-344. 2005.-Astragalus lentiginosus is a polymorphic species that occurs in geologi- cally young habitats and whose varietal circumscription implies active morpho- logical and genetic differentiation. In this preliminary study, we evaluate the po- tential of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers to resolve infraspecific taxa in three varieties of Astragalus lentiginosus. Distance-based principle coordinate and neighbor-joining analyses result in clustering of individ- uals that is congruent with population origin and varietal circumscription. Anal- ysis of molecular variance of two Oregon varieties demonstrates that varietal categories account for 11% of the total variance; in contrast, geographic proximity does not contribute to the total variance. AFLPs demonstrate an ability to dis- criminate varieties of A. lentiginosus despite a potentially confounding geographic pattern, and may prove effective at inferring relationships throughout the group. Key words: AFLP, amplified fragment length polymorphism, Astragalus lenti- ginosus, genetic differentiation, infraspecific taxa. Astragalus lentiginosus Dougl. -

New Combination in Astragalus (Fabaceae)
Smith, J.F. and J.C. Zimmers. 2017. New combination in Astragalus (Fabaceae). Phytoneuron 2017-38: 1–3. Published 1 June 2017. ISSN 2153 733X NEW COMBINATION IN ASTRAGALUS (FABACEAE) JAMES F. SMITH and JAY C. ZIMMERS Department of Biological Sciences Snake River Plains Herbarium Boise State University Boise, Idaho 83725 [email protected] ABSTRACT Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses have established that the four varieties of Astragalus cusickii are three distinct, monophyletic clades: A. cusickii var. cusickii and A. cusickii var. flexilipes form one clade, A. cusickii var. sterilis and A. cusickii var. packardiae each form the other two. Although relationships among the clades in the analyses are poorly resolved, they are also poorly resolved with respect to other recognized species in the genus. Morphological data provide unique synapomorphies for each of the clades and therefore we propose to recognize three distinct species, with A. cusickii var. flexilipes retained at the rank of variety. A new combination brings A. cusickii var. packardiae to species rank, as Astragalus packardiae (Barneby) J.F. Sm. & Zimmers, comb. nov. , whereas A. sterilis has already been published. Astragalus L. is a diverse group of approximately 2500 species (Frodin 2004; Lock & Schrire 2005; Mabberley 2008) and has a rich diversity in four geographic areas (southwest and south-central Asia, the Sino-Himalayan region, the Mediterranean Basin, and western North America; in addition the Andes in South America have at least 100 species. Second to Eurasia in terms of species diversity is the New World, with approximately 400-450 species. The Intermountain Region of western North America (Barneby 1989) is especially diverse, and an estimated 70 species of Astragalus can be found in Idaho alone, including several endemic taxa (Mancuso 1999). -

BWSR Featured Plant Statewide Wetland Name: Prairie Milk Vetch (Astragalus adsurgens) Indicator Status: Also called: Standing Milk-vetch, Lavender Milk-vetch UPL Plant Family: Fabaceae (Pea) Prairie Milk Vetch is a flowering perrenial herb of the pea (legume or bean) family, one of the three largest families of terrestrial plants. A native plant to Minnesota, it is found mostly on the western half of the state. It blooms in June and July where it prefers full sun in open grasslands and dry prairies. Identification Plants are typically around one-foot tall but can grow up to sixteen inches. The plants have many stems and can spread up to two feet across from a center crown. The stems can vary from being Prairie Milk Vetch Image by Peter M. Dziuk of Minnesota erect to lying on the ground. Compound leaves Wildflowers are attached alternately in groups of thirteen to twenty-one. Each leaf is about three inches long with individual leaflets up to one inch long. The lavender to bluish flowers are grouped in round clusters about one inch wide and up to two inches tall. Each flower is held by a light green calyx that will form a hairy pod (legume). Range Prairie Milk Vetch is found in the U.S. from Washington to Minnesota and as far south as New Mexico, where it can be found at elevations up to 11,000 feet. It is found in every province in Canada. A variety of A. adsurgens called Standing Milk-vetch is found in China and Leaves and stems of Prairie Milk Vetch Image by Peter M. -

Astragalus coluteocarpus Boiss. subsp. heratensis Podlech is described. m. Was ist Astragalus lusitanicus Lam. ? Astragalus lusitanicus Lam. ist eine große, stattliche Pflanze, die im westlichen Mittelmeer- gebiet schon früh Beachtung gefunden hat. LiNNE beschrieb sie als Phaca baetica, Lamarck mußte bei der Überfuhrung in die Gattung einen neuen Namen wählen, da Astragalus boeticus L. bereits vergeben war. Innerhalb der Gattung Astragalus war unsere Art vor allem wegen der großen, aufgeblasenen, unilokulären Hülsen und wegen des schiefen glockigen Kelches immer ein Fremdkörper, was BOISSIER, den hervorragenden Kenner der Gattung veranlaßte, für sie eine eigene Gattung Erophaca zu bilden. Dennoch galt die Art bis heute unangefochten als eine Vertreterin der Gattung Astragalus. Eine genaue Merkmalsanalyse ergab jedoch eine Reihe auffallend abweichender Merkmale, so daß die Zugehörigkeit zur Gattung Astragalus nicht länger aufrecht erhalten werden kann. Seitlich angeheftete und schwach gehöckerte Kelche mit schief abgeschnittener ÖflBiung finden sich zwar in einigen basalen Gruppen der Gattung sowie in deren Verwandtschaft bei Chesneya und Gueldenstaedtia, jedoch verbietet dieses Merkmal in Verbindung mit anderen, bisher übersehenen Charakteren eindeutig einen Verbleib in der Tribus der Galegeae, zu der Astragalus und Verwandte zu rechnen sind. -

CALIFORNIA RECREATIONAL TRAILS PLAN Providing Vision and Direction for California Trails Tahoe Rim Trail Tahoe Rim Trail TahoeTTahhoe RRiRimm TrailTTrail Complete Progress Report 2011 California State Parks Planning Division Statewide Trails Section www.parks.ca.gov/trails/trailsplan Message from the Director Th e ability to exercise and enjoy nature in the outdoors is critical to the physical and mental health of California’s population. Trails and greenways provide the facilities for these activities. Our surveys of Californian’s recreational use patterns over the years have shown that our variety of trails, from narrow back-country trails to spacious paved multi-use facilities, provide experiences that attract more users than any other recreational facility in California. Th e increasing population and desire for trails are increasing pressures on the agencies charged with their planning, maintenance and management. As leaders in the planning and management of all types of trail systems, California State Parks is committed to assisting the state’s recreation providers by complying with its legislative mandate of recording the progress of the California Recreational Trails Plan. During the preparation of this progress report, input was received through surveys, two California Recreational Trails Committee public meetings and a session at the 2011 California Trails and Greenways Conference. Preparation of this progress Above: Director Ruth Coleman report included extensive research into the current status of the 27 California Trail Corridors, determining which of these corridors need administrative, funding or planning assistance. Research and public input regarding the Plan’s twelve Goals and their associated Action Guidelines have identifi ed both encouraging progress and areas where more attention is needed. -
