  • Washington Flora Checklist a Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Washington State Hosted by the University of Washington Herbarium
    Washington Flora Checklist A checklist of the Vascular Plants of Washington State Hosted by the University of Washington Herbarium The Washington Flora Checklist aims to be a complete list of the native and naturalized vascular plants of Washington State, with current classifications, nomenclature and synonymy. The checklist currently contains 3,929 terminal taxa (species, subspecies, and varieties). Taxa included in the checklist: * Native taxa whether extant, extirpated, or extinct. * Exotic taxa that are naturalized, escaped from cultivation, or persisting wild. * Waifs (e.g., ballast plants, escaped crop plants) and other scarcely collected exotics. * Interspecific hybrids that are frequent or self-maintaining. * Some unnamed taxa in the process of being described. Family classifications follow APG IV for angiosperms, PPG I (J. Syst. Evol. 54:563?603. 2016.) for pteridophytes, and Christenhusz et al. (Phytotaxa 19:55?70. 2011.) for gymnosperms, with a few exceptions. Nomenclature and synonymy at the rank of genus and below follows the 2nd Edition of the Flora of the Pacific Northwest except where superceded by new information. Accepted names are indicated with blue font; synonyms with black font. Native species and infraspecies are marked with boldface font. Please note: This is a working checklist, continuously updated. Use it at your discretion. Created from the Washington Flora Checklist Database on September 17th, 2018 at 9:47pm PST. Available online at http://biology.burke.washington.edu/waflora/checklist.php Comments and questions should be addressed to the checklist administrators: David Giblin ([email protected]) Peter Zika ([email protected]) Suggested citation: Weinmann, F., P.F.

This information represents what was known at the end of the 1994 field season. These maps may not represent the most recent information on distribution and range for these taxa but it does illustrate geographic distribution across the assessment area. For many of these species, this is the first time information has been compiled on this scale. For the continued viability of many of these taxa, it is imperative that we begin to manage for them across their range and across administrative boundaries. Of the 173 taxa analyzed, there are maps for 153 taxa. For those taxa that were not tracked by heritage programs, we were not able to generate range maps.

  • ICBEMP Analysis of Vascular Plants
    Gratiola heterosepala Mason & Bacig. is a peripheral endemic known from one occurrence (elevation 5360 feet) in Lake Co., Oregon, and from sixteen additional sites within seven counties in northern California. An annual member of the Scrophulariaceae, it is found on clayey soils in shallow water and at the margins of vernal pools and stock ponds. The species flowers from mid-June to mid-July and is believed to be facultatively autogamous (L. Housley, pers. comm.). Field observations have shown no evidence of pre-dispersal seed predation, and seeds are likely dispersed by migrating waterfowl. Associated species include Downingia Zaeta, Marsilea vestita, Plagiobothrys scouleri var. penicillatus, EZeocharis palustris, and Camissonia sp. surrounded by a Juniperus occidentaZis/Artemisia arbuscuZa/Poa sandbergii community. An exclosure established in 1993 on the Lakeview District BLM is being monitored to determine the effects of grazing on the species. Data collected between 1982 and 1991 shows population size at the Oregon site ranging from 2000 to 18,000 individuals. Potential threats include early season grazing, invasion by exotic species, and development in some areas. Population trends are currently considered stable. Grindelia howeflii Steyermark is a regional endemic with a bimodal geographic distribution; most of the occurrences are in west-central Montana, with several small occurrences also known in a very small area in north Idaho, It prefers southerly aspects in bluebunch wheatgrassJSandberg bluegrass grasslands and openings in ponderosa pine and Douglas fir stands. The Montana occurrences, of which 60 are currently known to be extant (Pavek 1991), are in Missoula and Powell counties, in the Blackfoot, Clear-water and Swan River drainages (Shelly 1986).

This final list is in response to comments and corrections that were received from the field as a result of the request transmitted in IM-OR-2007-072. Policy/Action: The Interagency Special Status/Sensitive Species (ISSSS) Program staff, Region 6 (R6) staff, and BLM OR/WA staff developed new criteria for the determination of Sensitive and Strategic species within the BLM SSS and Forest Service (FS) Sensitive Species Programs. The final criteria were transmitted July 25, 2007, via IM-OR-2007-072 with an associated list applying the new criteria. In that IM, updates to documented and suspected status were requested from the field units. The attachments to this IM include the final SSS lists in response to the field comments submitted for the July 25, 2007, request. All attachments are available for download from the ISSSS website at: http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/sfpnw/issssp/agency-policy/ or the BLM Information Mall at: http://web.or.blm.gov/records/infomall.htm.

  • Assessing the Effects of Invasive Ligustrum Sinense and Lonicera Japonica on Rare and Federally Threatened Scutellaria Montana
    ASSESSING THE EFFECTS OF INVASIVE LIGUSTRUM SINENSE AND LONICERA JAPONICA ON RARE AND FEDERALLY THREATENED SCUTELLARIA MONTANA BY Jordan Jack Sikkema Approved: _____________________________________ _____________________________________ Jennifer N. Boyd Hill Craddock Assistant Professor of Biological and Professor of Biological and Environmental Environmental Sciences Sciences (Committee Chair) (Committee Member) _____________________________________ Hope Klug Assistant Professor of Biological and Environmental Sciences (Committee Member) ASSESSING THE EFFECTS OF INVASIVE LIGUSTRUM SINENSE AND LONICERA JAPONICA ON RARE AND FEDERALLY THREATENED SCUTELLARIA MONTANA By Jordan Jack Sikkema A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master of Science in Environmental Science The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chattanooga, Tennessee December 2013 ii ABSTRACT Few studies have directly evaluated the competitive interactions between invasive and co-occurring rare plants. Federally threatened Scutellaria montana Chapm. (large-flowered skullcap) is a rare herbaceous perennial endemic to southeastern Tennessee and northwestern Georgia. The forest understory habitat in which S. montana typically occurs often also contains invasive Ligustrum sinense (Chinese privet) and Lonicera japonica (Japanese honeysuckle), and these and other invasive plant species have been recognized as a potential threat to its conservation. To directly investigate the effects of invasive L. sinense and L. japonica on S. montana, a two-year field-based removal experiment was conducted in an S. montana occurrence in Chattanooga, TN. An interacting herbivory exclosure treatment was included to help isolate the effects of competition from non-insect herbivory, another possible pressure negatively influencing S. montana, and to isolate the effects of competition from apparent competition.
