A CHECKLIST OF THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF THE REDWOOD NATIONAL & STATE PARKS James P. Smith, Jr. Professor Emeritus of Botany Department of Biological Sciences Humboldt State Univerity Arcata, California 14 September 2018 The Redwood National and State Parks are located in Del Norte and Humboldt counties in coastal northwestern California. The national park was F E R N S established in 1968. In 1994, a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation added Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek, Athyriaceae – Lady Fern Family and Jedediah Smith Redwoods state parks to form a single administrative Athyrium filix-femina var. cyclosporum • northwestern lady fern unit. Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line. Almost half of the remaining old growth redwood forests Blechnaceae – Deer Fern Family are protected in these four parks.

Spach (Above from ITIS data base, 2001; USDA Plants database, 2001) Oenothera quadrivulnera Douglas (GRIN database, 2001) Hitchcock and Jepson recognized two genera: Clarkia and Godetia based on petal shape The section Godetia consists of a diploid, tetraploid and hexaploid series, of which C. purpurea and C. prostrata is the latter (Lewis and Lewis, 1955). Lewis and Lewis (1955) felt that for Clarkia purpurea there were ephemeral local races due to hybridization. Some of these could be separated based on conspicuous morphological characters to the subspecies level. However, these subspecies were artificial and not distinct geographical nor ecological races.

  • Roger's Gardens Red Satin Flower
    Red Satin Flower Clarkia amoena 'Red' Height: 30 inches Spread: 12 inches Sunlight: Hardiness Zone: (annual) Other Names: Farewell to Spring, syn. Godetia amoena Description: A native coastal, or cool weather annual selection, producing satiny, cup shaped red flowers with crepe-paper petals; will re-seed in optimum conditions; blooms in late spring to early summer; plants do not do well in hot, humid summer climates Red Satin Flower flowers Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder Ornamental Features Red Satin Flower features showy racemes of red cup-shaped flowers with white centers rising above the foliage from late spring to early summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its pointy leaves remain green in color throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. Landscape Attributes Red Satin Flower is an herbaceous annual with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It is a good choice for attracting bees and butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. Gardeners should be aware of the following characteristic(s) that may warrant special consideration; - Self-Seeding Red Satin Flower is recommended for the following landscape applications; - Mass Planting - General Garden Use - Container Planting Planting & Growing Red Satin Flower will grow to be about 30 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 12 inches.
