  • Malosma Laurina (Nutt.) Nutt. Ex Abrams
    I. SPECIES Malosma laurina (Nutt.) Nutt. ex Abrams NRCS CODE: Family: Anacardiaceae MALA6 Subfamily: Anacardiodeae Order: Sapindales Subclass: Rosidae Class: Magnoliopsida Immature fruits are green to red in mid-summer. Plants tend to flower in May to June. A. Subspecific taxa none B. Synonyms Rhus laurina Nutt. (USDA PLANTS 2017) C. Common name laurel sumac (McMinn 1939, Calflora 2016) There is only one species of Malosma. Phylogenetic analyses based on molecular data and a combination of D. Taxonomic relationships molecular and structural data place Malosma as distinct but related to both Toxicodendron and Rhus (Miller et al. 2001, Yi et al. 2004, Andrés-Hernández et al. 2014). E. Related taxa in region Rhus ovata and Rhus integrifolia may be the closest relatives and laurel sumac co-occurs with both species. Very early, Malosma was separated out of the genus Rhus in part because it has smaller fruits and lacks the following traits possessed by all species of Rhus : red-glandular hairs on the fruits and axis of the inflorescence, hairs on sepal margins, and glands on the leaf blades (Barkley 1937, Andrés-Hernández et al. 2014). F. Taxonomic issues none G. Other The name Malosma refers to the strong odor of the plant (Miller & Wilken 2017). The odor of the crushed leaves has been described as apple-like, but some think the smell is more like bitter almonds (Allen & Roberts 2013). The leaves are similar to those of the laurel tree and many others in family Lauraceae, hence the specific epithet "laurina." Montgomery & Cheo (1971) found time to ignition for dried leaf blades of laurel sumac to be intermediate and similar to scrub oak, Prunus ilicifolia, and Rhamnus crocea; faster than Heteromeles arbutifolia, Arctostaphylos densiflora, and Rhus ovata; and slower than Salvia mellifera.

  • V. Environmental Impact Analysis C. Biological Resources
    V. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS C. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES INTRODUCTION A Biological Resources Evaluation for the Proposed Project was prepared by TeraCor Resource Management in November 2003 to analyze the potential impacts on biological resources associated with the Proposed Project. A summary of the Biological Resources Evaluation with respect to potential impacts on biological resources, and as reviewed and revised for consistency with the City of Malibu LCP1, is set forth below. The Biological Resources Evaluation, which is incorporated herein by this reference, is included in its entirety as Appendix D to this Draft Final EIR. A Technical Memorandum amending the Biological Resources Evaluation prepared by Teracor Resource Management was written on 27 March 2007 to clarify and evaluate three issues: 1) to confirm the status of biological resources present on site, 2) to confirm the presence or absence of wetlands, “waters of the U.S.” streambeds, or other water features present on-site, and, 3) determine if California black walnut (Juglans californica) trees are present on-site. The conclusions of the findings made by TeraCor Resource Management with respect to these three issues are set forth below. The Technical Memorandum, which is incorporated herein by reference, is provided in Appendix D-1, Biological Assessment – Verification of Conditions. The purpose of this evaluation is to provide an understanding of the biological resources present within the Project Site, as determined from field reconnaissance and available scientific literature. This biological evaluation inventories floral and faunal resources detected on or near the Project Site, and predicts faunal resources determined likely to be present based on habitat conditions, known species distribution, and field observations.

Read Full License Page 1/23 Abstract This study aims to investigate the phylogenetic relationships within the Juglandaceae family based on the Internal Transcribed Spacer's primary sequence and secondary structures (ITS2). Comparative analysis of 51 Juglandaceae species was performed across most of the dened seven genera. The results showed that the ITS2 secondary structure's folding pattern was highly conserved and congruent with the eukaryote model. Firstly, Neighbor-joining (N.J.) analysis recognized two subfamilies: Platycaryoideae and Engelhardioideae. The Platycaryoideae included the Platycaryeae (Platycarya+ (Carya+ Annamocarya)) and Juglandeae (Juglans-(Cyclocarya + Pterocarya)). The Engelhardioideae composed the (Engelhardia+Oreomunnea+Alfaroa)). The Rhoiptelea genus was generally regarded as an outgroup when inferring the phylogeny of Juglandaceae. However, it is clustered into the Juglandaceae family and showed a close relationship with the Platycaryoideae subfamily. Secondly, the folded 3-helices and 4-helices secondary structure of ITS2 were founded in the Juglandaceae family. Therefore, these ITS2 structures could be used as formal evidence to analyze Juglandaceae's phylogeny relationship.

  • Walnut Jardin Botanique´ – Montreal, Quebec
    Juglans nigra – Black Walnut Jardin Botanique´ – Montreal, Quebec THE JUGLANDACEAE – WALNUTS AND HICKORIES By Susan McDougall 1 Daddy’s work was physically demanding. He was a builder of houses – “spec” houses, as they were known – meaning he bought land, acquired a bank loan, and built houses one at a time, selling them to repay the loan and provide his family with a modest living. After selling one or sometimes before a sale, he would move on to the next project. It was an uncertain life, for then as now, quality homes had to compete with mass production. And, to keep costs down, Daddy performed nearly all the work himself. Occasionally I would visit the construction site, but the most meaningful memories are of daddy arriving home, parking the car out front (no garage or truck in the early years), and coming into a warm house in winter and a shaded one in summer. He worked the year round in the Pacific Northwest - winter rains and summer heat were no deterrent. After greetings and dinner, I would return to my room and daddy would head for his rocking chair in the corner of the living room, happy to read the newspaper or a book. But as I played or studied, occasionally I would hear another sound besides the occasional slow breathing of a tired man nodding off, or the turning of the newspaper pages. It was a cracking/crunching and comforting, reassuring sound. Daddy was eating walnuts, fresh from the shell.

Read Full License Page 1/23 Abstract Background: The walnut family (Juglandaceae) contains commercially important woody trees commonly called walnut, wingnut, pecan and hickory. Phylogenetic relationships in the Juglandaceae are problematic, and their historical diversication has not been claried, in part because of low phylogenetic resolution and/or insucient marker variability. Results: We reconstructed the backbone phylogenetic relationships of Juglandaceae using organelle and nuclear genome data from 27 species. The divergence time of Juglandaceae was estimated to be 78.7 Mya. The major lineages diversied in warm and dry habitats during the mid-Paleocene and early Eocene. The plastid, mitochondrial, and nuclear phylogenetic analyses all revealed three subfamilies, i.e., Juglandoideae, Engelhardioideae, Rhoipteleoideae. Five genera of Juglandoideae were strongly supported. Juglandaceae were estimated to have originated during the late Cretaceous, while Juglandoideae were estimated to have originated during the Paleocene, with evidence for rapid diversication events during several glacial and geological periods. The phylogenetic analyses of organelle sequences and nuclear genome yielded highly supported incongruence positions for J.
