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.

  • Poisonous Native Range Plants Anthony Knight Bvsc., MS
    Poisonous native range plants Anthony Knight BVSc., MS. DACVIM College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado [email protected] Plant poisoning is a common problem throughout North America, causing significant economic losses not only through death loss, but through the costs associated with reproductive loss, poor growth rates, herbicides, etc. Through good pasture management, recognizing toxic plants, and by understanding the effects of toxins on animals, plant poisoning can be largely avoided. Plants contain a variety of toxic compounds that help to deter herbivores and insects from eating them. A classic example of this is milkweed (Asclepias species) that contains a milky sap that is an irritant and therefore distasteful, and is also poisonous. Other compounds found in plants that may be toxic to animals are normal components of plants essential for plant growth. Nitrates and cyanogenic glycosides, for example, are found in a wide variety of plants and are essential in the formation of plant protein. Yet another reason some plants such as locoweed (Astragalus and Oxytropis species) are poisonous is that they have developed a mutually beneficial relationship with specific fungi (endophytes) that, when growing in the plant, produce a toxic alkaloid poisonous to horses and livestock. There are numerous native range plants that are potentially poisonous to livestock, but rarely is an animal poisoned by eating a few mouthfuls of these plants. This famous quote by Paracelsus summarizes it best. "All things are poison and nothing is without poison; only the dose makes that a thing is no poison." In other words, “the dose makes the poison” Paracelsus (1493-1541).

  • Asters of Yesteryear (Updated April 2018)
    Asters of Yesteryear (Updated April 2018) About this Update: The document was originally posted in a shorter version, to accompany the brief article "Where Have all our Asters Gone?" in the Fall 2017 issue of Sego Lily. In that version it consisted simply of photos of a number of plants that had at some time been included in Aster but that no longer are, as per Flora of North America. In this version I have added names to the photos to indicate how they have changed since their original publication: Date and original name as published (Basionym) IF name used in Intermountain Flora (1994) UF name used in A Utah Flora (1983-2016) FNA name used in Flora of North America (2006) I have also added tables to show the renaming of two groups of species in the Astereae tribe as organized in Intermountain Flora. Color coding shows how splitting of the major genera largely follows fault lines already in place No color Renamed Bright Green Conserved Various Natural groupings $ Plant not in Utah It is noteworthy how few species retain the names used in 1994, but also how the renaming often follows patterns already observed. Asters of Yesteryear (Updated April 2018) Here are larger photos (16 inches wide or tall at normal screen resolution of 72 dpi) of the plants shown in Sego Lily of Fall 2017, arranged by date of original publication. None of them (except Aster amellus on this page) are now regarded as true asters – but they all were at one stage in their history. Now all are in different genera, most of them using names that were published over 100 years ago.
