Box 52 Hawaii National Park, HI 96718 November, 2004 Mauna Loa Reconnaissance 2003 Executive Summary and Acknowledgements The Mauna Loa Reconnaissance project was designed to generate archival and inventory/survey level recordation for previously known and unknown cultural resources within the high elevation zones (montane, sub-alpine, and alpine) of Mauna Loa. Field survey efforts included collecting GPS data at sites, preparing detailed site plan maps and feature descriptions, providing site assessment and National Register eligibility, and integrating the collected data into existing site data bases within the CRM Division at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HAVO). Project implementation included both pedestrian transects and aerial transects to accomplish field survey components and included both NPS and Research Corporation University of Hawaii (RCUH) personnel. Reconnaissance of remote alpine areas was needed to increase existing data on historic and archeological sites on Mauna Loa to allow park managers to better plan for future projects. The reconnaissance report includes a project introduction; background sections including physical descriptions, cultural setting overview, and previous archeological studies; fieldwork sections describing methods, results, and feature and site summaries; and a section on conclusions and findings that provide site significance assessments and recommendations. -

New Nomenclatural Combinations for Blue Dicks ( Dipterostemon Capitatus ; Asparagaceae: Brodiaeoideae)
Preston, R.E. 2017. New nomenclatural combinations for blue dicks ( Dipterostemon capitatus ; Asparagaceae: Brodiaeoideae). Phytoneuron 2017-15: 1–11. Published 22 February 2017. ISSN 2153 733X NEW NOMENCLATURAL COMBINATIONS FOR BLUE DICKS (DIPTEROSTEMON CAPITATUS; ASPARAGACEAE: BRODIAEOIDEAE) ROBERT E. PRESTON ICF 630 K Street, Suite 400 Sacramento, California 95814 [email protected] ABSTRACT Dichelostemma capitatum (Benth.) Alph.Wood, traditionally treated as one of five geophyte species included in Dichelostemma Kunth, a genus endemic to the western USA and northern Mexico, has been the subject of nearly perpetual taxonomic confusion since the early 19 th century. In this paper, I review the errors that perpetuated the misapplication of names to D. capitatum , resurrect Dipterostemon Rydb. as the alternative genus for D. capitatum , and propose new infraspecific combinations. Dichelostemma pulchellum (Salisb.) A. Heller, a name persistently misapplied to D. capitatum , is a confused name that is synonymous with D. congestum (Sm.) Kunth. Dipterostemon capitatus (Benth.) Rydb. subsp. pauciflorus (Torr.) R.E. Preston, comb. nov. , and D. capitatus (Benth.) Rydb. subsp. lacuna-vernalis (L.W. Lenz) R.E. Preston, comb. nov. , are proposed. The genus Dichelostemma traditionally has consisted of five geophyte species endemic to the western USA and northern Mexico (Pires 2002; Pires & Keator 2012). Phylogenetic studies place Dichelostemma in the Themidaceae (Fay & Chase 1996; Fay et al. 2000; Pires et al. 2001; Pires & Sytsma 2002) and more recently in the subfamily Brodiaeoideae of the Asparagaceae (Chase et al. 2009; Steele et al. 2012; Chen et al. 2013). These studies also indicate that Dichelostemma is not monophyletic; Dichelostemma capitatum (Benth.) Alph.Wood is sister to the clade that includes Brodiaea and the other four species of Dichelostemma . -
A Remarkable Garden: David Douglas on the Shrub-Steppe of The
A Remarkable Garden David Douglas and the Shrub-steppe of the Columbia Plateau JACK NISBET 210 Rock Garden Quarterly Vol. 70 (3) IN LATE JUNE of 1825, Scottish naturalist David Douglas took his first peek at the arid world of the Inland Northwest. Traveling upstream on the Columbia River with a canoe brigade of fur agents and their season’s trade goods, he ventured through the Columbia Gorge and stepped ashore for the long portage between the two great rapids known as the Dalles and Celilo Falls. Like most first-time visitors, he was shocked at the scale of the massive basalt flows that hung over the Gorge, then stunned by the desiccated landscape that stretched off endlessly to the east. “Nothing but extensive plains and barren hills, with the greater part of the herbage scorched and dead by the intense heat,” he wrote in his journal. Despite such heat, the energetic Douglas picked up some wonderful plants during his hike between the rapids, including a sunny yellow blazing star (Mentzelia laevicaulis) that provided him with ripe seeds to ship back to England. He dug up two different kinds of evening primrose in flower that he transplanted into his turnip patch at Fort Vancouver, hoping to gather seeds from them as well. And he discovered enough mature samples of Clarkia pulchella, already named after explorer William Clark but not yet cultivated outside its native ground, to turn it into one of the hottest garden offerings at London's Royal Horticultural Society’s 1828 summer plant sale. 211 Born in 1799 in the village of Scone, Perthshire, as the son of a stonemason, Douglas’s behavior at the local school gave little indication that he might be destined for anything greater than fishing, the care of abandoned birds, and rambling in the nearby hills. -

Francis Masson at the Cape and around the world: a life devoted to botany and natural science Barbara HELLY Introduction At the end of the 18th century, during the period of the Enlightenment, Francis Masson worked for the Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge. He started as an anonymous staff member of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, which had been officially created in 1759. But a decade later, he was already taking a most active part in the successful development of this new institution’s world ambitions in botany. Francis Masson’s contribution to the botanical discoveries of his time has been regularly commented upon, but often times the articles have dealt with specific fields of his activities or they have presented the main events of his life for encyclopaedias. -
Cape Heaths in European Gardens: the Early History of South African Erica Species in Cultivation, Their Deliberate Hybridization and the Orthographic Bedlam
Bothalia 34,2: 127-140(2004) Cape heaths in European gardens: the early history of South African Erica species in cultivation, their deliberate hybridization and the orthographic bedlam E.C. NELSON* and E.G.H. OLIVER** Keywords: botanical history. Cape heaths, garden history, hybrids, nomenclature ABSTRACT This paper discusses the horticultural history of southern African Erica spp. in Europe, and especially in Britain, dur ing the late eighteenth and the early decades of the nineteenth century . We note evidence for the deliberate hybridization of the so-called Cape heaths by European horticulturists, in particular by the English nursery man William Rollisson and by the Very Rev. William Herbert. We discuss some of the nomenclatural consequences of the naming by miscellaneous botanists and nurserymen of the hundreds of new Erica species and hybrids, emphasizing the proliferation of eponyms. An appendix tabulates eponyms and their numerous orthographic variants published before 1835 within Erica, and provides the correct orthography for these epithets.
