    RESOLVING THE ANOMALY OF LOMATIUM ANOMALUM: DISCOVERY OF A NEW SPECIES IN SOUTHWESTERN IDAHO (U.S.A.), LOMATIUM ANDRUSIANUM (APIACEAE) Mckayla Stevens, Donald H. Mansfield James F. Smith The College of Idaho Boise State University 2112 Cleveland Blvd. 1910 W. University Drive Caldwell, Idaho 83605, U.S.A. Boise, Idaho 83725, U.S.A. Mary Ann E. Feist University of Wisconsin-Madison 430 Lincoln Drive Madison, Wisconsin 53706, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Apparent polyphyly within the unresolved clade of Lomatium (Apiaceae) containing L. triternatum, L. anomalum, L. thompsonii, and L. pack- ardiae suggests conflict among current taxonomic classification schemes. To recover this clade and more clearly define species boundaries, we examined populations of L. anomalum from three geographic regions in Idaho and adjacent Oregon. Using phylogenetic, morphological, and ecological data, we conclude that the L. anomalum complex currently circumscribes multiple species. Phylogenetic analysis of the nuclear ribosomal ITS and ETS, and cpDNA rpl32-trnLUAG, rps-16 intron, trnD-trnT, ndhA intron, and psbA-trnH recovered populations from the Boise foothills as a distinct, monophyletic clade. Principal Components Analysis of 30 reproductive and vegetative characters show two distinct groups: one of Boise foothills and one of the combined Mann Creek and Camas Prairie vicinities. Principal Components Analysis of 16 soil characteristics show that soils occupied by Boise foothills populations are distinct from those occupied by Mann Creek and Camas Prairie populations. Based on phylogenetic, morphometric, and ecologic criteria, populations of what had been considered L. anomalum from the Boise foothills and vicinity are here described as a new species—Lomatium andrusianum.

Reed canarygrass has been bred for cultivation and at least 11 cultivars have been developed [102]. Terminology used to describe reed canarygrass' phenotypic variability (e.g., strains, types, genotypes, ecotypes) is inconsistent in the literature. This review uses the terminology from the original publications unless it is unclear and/or inconsistent

  • A Floristic Study of the Evergreen State College Campus Sam Lohmann June 12, 2006
    A Floristic Study of The Evergreen State College Campus Sam Lohmann June 12, 2006 INTRODUCTION This paper lists the vascular plants that occur on the campus of The Evergreen State College (TESC), and describes the nine principle plant communities of the campus. It is based on my field observations and collections during Spring Quarter of 2006, and also on the specimens housed in the TESC herbarium, collected by numerous workers since the mid-1970s. Pene Speaks’s “The Campus of The Evergreen State College: Soils and Vegetation” (1982) was also a useful resource, and my study is partially a revision and expansion of the floristic information in that article. I used Hitchock and Cronquist’s Flora of the Pacific Northwest (1973) for my identifications, and follow its nomenclature, except for revised family names. The paper follows a format adapted from Bowcutt (1999). It should be noted that this study is not exhaustive. It does not include the many cultivated plants on campus, except if they have naturalized. Although I made an effort to cover many trails and range widely and representatively over the campus, I did not have time to systematically cover the entire grounds. I did not concentrate on grasses or small weeds, and my study does not do full justice to the diversity of these groups on campus. In addition, there were some species collected on campus by other workers, whose presence I was not able to confirm in the field; this is noted in the plant list. Thus the plant list should be regarded as an introduction to the plants of the campus and a starting point for further floristic work, rather than as a complete, definitive catalog.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships Among the Perennial
    Plant Div. Evol. Vol. 128/1–2, 151–172 E Stuttgart, August 20, 2010 Phylogenetic relationships among the perennial, endemic Apiaceae subfamily Apioideae of western North America: additional data from the cpDNA trnF-trnL-trnT region continue to support a highly polyphyletic Cymopterus By Feng-Jie Sun and Stephen R. Downie With 3 figures and 3 tables Abstract Sun, F.-J. & Downie, S.R.: Phylogenetic relationships among the perennial, endemic Apiaceae sub- family Apioideae of western North America: additional data from the cpDNA trnF-trnL-trnT region continue to support a highly polyphyletic Cymopterus. — Plant Div. Evol. 128: 151–172. 2010. — ISSN 1869-6155. Considerable confusion exists with regard to the delimitation of Cymopterus and its relationship to the other herbaceous, perennial genera of Apiaceae subfamily Apioideae endemic to western North Amer- ica north of Mexico. Previous molecular systematic studies using nrDNA ITS and cpDNA rps16 in- tron sequences have shown that the genus Cymopterus is highly polyphyletic, with its species inextri- cably linked with those of Aletes, Lomatium, Oreoxis, Pseudocymopterus, Pteryxia, and several other genera of the region. The general lack of resolution of these trees and their overall low branch support values, however, suggested that additional data might be useful to establish monophyly of genera or identify major clades for further phylogenetic and revisionary studies. In this study, we analyze cpD- NA trnF-trnL-trnT sequence data from 129 accessions of North American Apioideae (representing 111 species and 21 genera) using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods individually and in combination with ITS and rps16 intron sequence data available through previous phylogenetic studies for the same set of accessions.
