For those of whom I am unable to personally thank here, know that I deeply appreciate your support. First and foremost, I want to thank my chair Michael Glassow for his patience, enthusiasm, and encouragement during all aspects of this daunting project. I am also truly grateful to have had the opportunity to know, learn from, and work with my other committee members, Mike Jochim, Amber VanDerwarker, and Lynn Gamble. I cherish my various field experiences with them all on the Channel Islands and especially in southern Germany with Mike Jochim, whose worldly perspective I value deeply. I also thank Terry Jones, who provided me many undergraduate opportunities in California archaeology and encouraged me to attend a field school on San Clemente Island with Mark Raab and Andy Yatsko, an experience that left me captivated with the islands and their history.

    Malheur wire-lettuce (Stephanomeria malheurensis) ENDANGERED Flowers (left), habit (center), and habitat (right) of Malheur wire-lettuce. Photos by Melissa Carr (left and center), and Rebecca Currin (right). If downloading images from this website, please credit the photographer. Family Asteraceae Plant description Malheur wire-lettuce is an annual species, with seeds that germinate in the early spring (usually starting around the first week of April) and subsequently form glabrous-leaved basal rosettes up to 15 cm in diameter. The rosette typically bolts in late May-June, forming a wiry network of flowering branches generally less than 30 cm long. Flower heads are numerous and clustered or single on short peduncles, with 5-6 (rarely up to 11) florets per head. Flower heads contain 5-6 ligules approximately 8.2-9.4 mm long and 3.2-3.6 mm wide starting in late June. Flowers are white or light to dark pink, and can change to salmon-colored with age. Fruits mature from July through October. Each head produces 5-sided, generally rugose-tuberculate achenes averaging 3.3-3.8 mm long and bearing 9-12 pappus bristles. Distinguishing characteristics Malheur wire-lettuce co-occurs with its putative parent, Stephanomeria exigua ssp. coronaria, and the two species are difficult to distinguish in the field. When grown in a controlled setting, Malheur wire-lettuce typically produces fewer branches, flower heads and seeds than S. exigua ssp. coronaria. However, these distinctions are not so obvious in the field. The most reliable way to distinguish between the two species is to examine the achenes.

  • Literature Cited
    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 19, 20, and 21, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbre- viated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”. Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes.

DSC). Prepared by: Daniel S. Cooper Cooper Ecological Monitoring, Inc. October 2010 1 Part I. Summary of Findings Part II (species accounts) begins after p. 26. We present information on extant occurrences of 15 special-status species, subspecies and/or varieties of vascular plants in Griffith Park and contiguous open space, including three for which no known local specimen existed prior to this study: slender mariposa-lily (Calochortus clavatus var. gracilis; CNPS 1B.2), Humboldt lily (Lilium humboldtii var. ocellatum; CNPS 4.2), and Hubby's phacelia (Phacelia hubbyi; CNPS 4.2). Using lists developed by local botanists, we document - from specimens or digital photographs - extant occurrences of nearly 40 additional plant taxa felt to be of conservation concern in the eastern Santa Monica Mountains, including 16 for which no prior specimen existed for the park or surrounding open space. We also identify several dozen taxa known from the specimen record but unconfirmed in the park in recent years. From this information, we discuss patterns of occurrence of rare plants in the park, drawing attention to "hotspots" for rare species diversity, such as Spring Canyon and Royce Canyon, and identify areas, particularly in the northeastern corner of the park and along the southeastern border, where rare plants are relatively poorly represented in the landscape.

Photograph by Jim Atkinson, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. November 2016 DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate such reasonable actions as may be necessary, based upon the best scientific and commercial data available, for the conservation and survival of listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, state agencies and others. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views, official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than FWS. They represent the official position of FWS only after they have been signed by the Regional Director. Recovery plans are guidance and planning documents only; identification of an action to be implemented by any public or private party does not create a legal obligation beyond existing legal requirements. Nothing in this plan should be construed as a commitment or requirement that any federal agency obligate or pay funds in any one fiscal year in excess of appropriations made by Congress for that fiscal year in contravention of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. 1341, or any other law or regulation. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions. LITERATURE CITATION SHOULD READ AS FOLLOWS: U. S.

    POPULATION GENETIC STUDIES OF SPECIATION IN THE PLANT GENUS STEPHANOMERIA (ASTERACEA) by NATASHA ANN SHERMAN (Under the Direction of JOHN M. BURKE) ABSTRACT The chapters of this dissertation are designed to investigate speciation in the plant genus Stephanomeria. Genetic markers were developed, and population genetic studies performed. In the first study, the goal was to investigate: the putative homoploid hybrid origin of Stephanomeria diegensis; whether this species arose once or on multiple occasions; and which subspecies of the parental taxa were involved in the original speciation event. The data presented support a hybrid origin of S. diegensis. In addition, the results showed the S. diegensis most likely arose once, and that S. exigua ssp. exigua or S. exigua ssp. deanei were involved in the formation. It was not possible to identify the subspecies of S. virgata involved. The second study investigates the allopolyploid origin of S. elata. The number of origins was investigated, as was the level of differentiation between two recognizable morphotypes, termed the Northern and Southern morphotype. This work identified three origins, with two origins found in the Southern morphotype and one in the Northern morphotype. The third study analyzed population genetic diversity in a disjunct population of S. exigua ssp. coronaria termed the Frenchglen population. This population is of particular interest because it is a peripheral isolate that gave rise to the endangered S. malheurensis. The Frenchglen population was found to be genetically robust, and unique from populations from the balance of the range of S. exigua ssp. coronaria.
