Redwood Wildflowers
Redwood Wildflowers A photographic guide to showy wildflowers of Redwood Regional Park Sorted by Flower Color Photographs by Wilde Legard Botanist, East Bay Regional Park District Revision: February 23, 2007 More than 2,000 species of native and naturalized plants grow wild in the San Francisco Bay Area. Most are very difficult to identify without the help of good illustrations. This is designed to be a simple, color photo guide to help you identify some of these plants. The selection of showy wildflowers displayed in this guide is by no means complete. The intent is to expand the quality and quantity of photos over time. The revision date is shown on the cover and on the header of each photo page. A comprehensive plant list for this area (including the many species not found in this publication) can be downloaded at the East Bay Regional Park District’s wild plant download page at: http://www.ebparks.org. This guide is published electronically in Adobe Acrobat® format to accommodate these planned updates. You have permission to freely download and distribute, and print this pdf for individual use. You are not allowed to sell the electronic or printed versions. In this version of the guide, only showy wildflowers are included. These wildflowers are sorted first by flower color, then by plant family (similar flower types), and finally by scientific name within each family. Under each photograph are four lines of information, based on the current standard wild plant reference for California: The Jepson Manual: Higher Plants of California, 1993. Common Name These non-standard names are based on Jepson and other local references.

Kasten Dumroese Forest Rocky Mountain General Technical Report November Service Research Station RMRS-GTR-387 2018 Luna, T.; Mousseaux, M.R.; Dumroese, R.K. 2018. Common native forbs of the northern Great Basin important for Greater Sage-grouse. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-387. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station; Portland, OR: U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Oregon–Washington Region. 76p. Abstract: is eld guide is a tool for the identication of 119 common forbs found in the sagebrush rangelands and grasslands of the northern Great Basin. ese forbs are important because they are either browsed directly by Greater Sage-grouse or support invertebrates that are also consumed by the birds. Species are arranged alphabetically by genus and species within families. Each species has a botanical description and one or more color photographs to assist the user. Most descriptions mention the importance of the plant and how it is used by Greater Sage-grouse. A glossary and indices with common and scientic names are provided to facilitate use of the guide. is guide is not intended to be either an inclusive list of species found in the northern Great Basin or a list of species used by Greater Sage-grouse; some other important genera are presented in an appendix.

These Greens Aren't Only Green!
These Greens Aren’t Only Green! Light green, bright green, red tips, red edges, purple-red with white veins, ruby red, wine-red, bronze-red, white with green edges! Frilly, rounded, spiky, serrated, wavy, crumpled, lacy deeply lobed, ruffled, puckered, smooth! Pungent, peppery, bitter, nutty, tangy, subtle, sharp, tender, mouth-watering! Beta-carotene, calcium, folic acid, iron, potassium, vitamin C! if you eat it, why not grow it? Anyone with even a small place to spare in the garden should give growing greens a try. The home court advantage in freshness, quality and nutritional value – not to mention a quantum leap in mouth-watering flavor – far outweighs the minimal effort needed to start a few seed varieties or pop in some transplants. Just think: a gourmet salad or an instant stir-fry will always be waiting just outside your door. bitterness be gone! Mizuna, endive, mustard greens, radicchio, arugula…many people avoid these greens because the ones from the supermarket are often very bitter, wilted, or over-priced. With your own backyard source, you can treat yourself to: • Micro-greens = young seedlings with one or two sets of true leaves, usually about 10-14 days from planting, a great salad, garnish, or sandwich-topper; • Baby-greens = tender, bite-sized leaves harvested at about 3-4 weeks (depending on variety) with an intensity of flavor and texture; or wait for • Full-size leaves = continually harvesting only the taller outer leaves – known as “cut-and-come-again” will keep many of these plants growing and delivering into mid-summer. Succession planting is also a great technique for lettuce, mesclun mixes, arugula, chervil, and mizuna: after your initial planting, sow more seeds every 2-3 weeks to keep those baby greens available.

Native Plant Alternatives for Landscaping
The Hendricks Park Forest Management Plan ...the forest... ...and the trees... Native Plant Alternatives for Landscaping tewardship of the forested park area for present and future generations is a key piece of Sthe Hendricks Park Forest Management Plan. Conservation of this valuable resource is accomplished by protecting the native forest ecosystem where it is intact, and restoring it where it has suffered from degradation. The park’s native ecosystem is most susceptible to damage from non-native, invasive plants. What are non-native, invasive plants and why are they a problem? Non-native, invasive plants are exotic species that have been introduced to the area either intentionally or accidentally and have begun to spread in an uncontrolled way. Outside of their native habitat and without any natural control mechanisms, these plants can cause serious damage to our own native forests. Invasive plants crowd out native species, prevent- ing regeneration. Left unchecked, they reduce the biodiversity in the native forest and interfere with natural processes as exotic weeds begin to dominate. What’s more, the balance of native plants and animals is also affected. Invasive plants limit bird, mammal and amphibian populations by reducing the availability of suitable living and hiding space (cover) and food sources. In other words, as exotic plants take over forested areas, they reduce the habitat that native animals depend on, thereby reducing the popula- tion of those animals. More than 20 invasive plants have been documented in Hendricks Park,

Phenotypic Variation in Diploid and Tetraploid Populations of Claytonia Perfoliata (S
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF John Michael Miller for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Botany and Plant Pathologypresented on March 29, 1978 Title: PHENOTYPIC VARIATION IN DIPLOID AND TETRAPLOID POPULATIONS OF CLAYTONIA PERFOLIATA (s. 1. ) (PORTULACACEAE) Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy Kenton L. Chambers Meiotic chromosome counts from 200 populations of Claytonia (Montia) perfoliata (sensu lato) reveal a polyploid pillar complex based on three morphologically different, chemically distinct, and geo- graphically defined diploids.The basic chromosome number is x=6. Diploid C. ktEfoliata Willdenow with linear juvenile leaves and deltoid mature basal leaves ranges southeastward from the Coast Ranges of California, through the desert ranges of southeastern Arizona, to high elevation fir forests of southern Mexico.In contrast, diploid C. rubra (Howell) Tidestrorn occurs in drier montane and transmontane con- iferous woodlands of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges.It has basal leaves that vary ontogenetically from rhombic to deltoid. Diploid C. parviflora Hooker is Sierra Nevadan and its juvenile and mature basal leaves are all linear. Another entity allied to C. per- foliata is C. perfoliata ssp. viridis (Davidson) Fellows, which has chromosome numbers of 2n=24 and 36. Because of its linear, un- fused cauline leaves, this subspecies was formerly thought to be related to C. spathulata Hooker; however, its seed coat and elaiosomes, viewed by scanning electron microscopy, are like those of C. per- foliata in all significant characteristics. Progeny of field collected tetraploids resembling C. perfoliata and C. rubra diploids were grown under uniform regimes of light, temperature, and moisture for comparison with their diploid counter- parts.
