Alpine Pedal Path Brochure This brochure lists common plant species found along the Big Bear Lake Pedal Path. Species occurrence varies across a rainfall gradient extending from Stanfield Cutoff (drier species) to the Big Bear Solar Observatory (more mesic species) To help locate plants, the path is divided into five sections on the map (A,B,C,D,&E). Please remain on the designated path to avoid damaging sensitive plant species. Please deposit any trash in waste receptacles at trailheads. For your safety, please watch out for bikes, runners, and strollers while looking for plants along the path For additional information please contact the Big Bear Discovery Center at (909)- 866-3437 Take pictures not flowers, PLEASE Compiled during the Spring of 2005 by: Scott Eliason (District Botanist) Kerry Myers (Botanist) Jason Bill (GIS Specialist) Alpine Pedal Path Plant Walk Plant Walk List Tree(T) Herb(H) Scientific Name Common Name Shrub(S) Section Native?

  • Molecular Investigation of the Origin of Castilleja Crista-Galli by Sarah
    Molecular investigation of the origin of Castilleja crista-galli by Sarah Youngberg Mathews A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biological Sciences Montana State University © Copyright by Sarah Youngberg Mathews (1990) Abstract: An hypothesis of hybrid origin of Castilleja crista-galli (Scrophulariaceae) was studied. Hybridization and polyploidy are widespread in Castilleja and are often invoked as a cause of difficulty in defining species and as a speciation model. The putative allopolyploid origin of Castilleja crista-gralli from Castilleja miniata and Castilleja linariifolia was investigated using molecular, morphological and cytological techniques. Restriction site analysis of chloroplast DNA revealed high homogeneity among the chloroplast genomes of species of Castilleja and two Orthocarpus. No species of Castilleia represented by more than one population in the analysis was characterized by a distinctive choroplast genome. Genetic distances estimated from restriction site mutations between any two species or between genera are comparable to distances reported from other plant groups, but both intraspecific and intrapopulational distances are high relative to other groups. Restriction site analysis of nuclear ribosomal DNA revealed variable repeat types both within and among individuals. Qualitative species groupings based on restriction site mutations in the ribosomal DNA repeat units do not place Castilleja crista-galli with either putative parent in a consistent manner. A cladistic analysis of 11 taxa using 10 morphological characters places Castilleja crista-galli in an unresolved polytomy with both putative parents and Castilleja hispida. Cytological analyses indicate that Castilleja crista-gralli is not of simple allopolyploid origin. Both diploid and tetraploid chromosome counts are reported for this species, previously known only as an octoploid.

Fraga ABSTRACT: We present an annotated catalogue of the vascular flora of the upper Santa Ana River watershed, in the southern San Bernardino Mountains, in southern California. The catalogue is based on a floristic study, undertaken from 2008 to 2010. Approximately 65 team days were spent in the field and over 5,000 collections were made over the course of the study. The study area is ca. 155 km2 in area (40,000 ac) and ranges in elevation from 1402 m to 3033 m. The study area is botanically diverse with more than 750 taxa documented, including 56 taxa of conservation concern and 81 non-native taxa. Vegetation and habitat types in the area include chaparral, evergreen oak forest and woodland, riparian forest, coniferous forest, montane meadow, and pebble plain habitats.

  • Introduction to Plant Identification
    Plant Science Training Program www.cnps.org/workshops Introduction to Plant Identification 15 Common Plant Families of Southern California Dates: June 5-7, 2018 (Tuesday - Thursday) Location: San Bernardino Mountains - Big Bear area, CA Instructors: Sandy Namoff, Claremont Colleges Laboratory Coordinator; & Nick Jensen, CNPS Southern California Conservation Analyst Registration: $395 CNPS Members / $415 Non-Members All Photos © Nick Jensen Target Audience: This workshop will be taught at a beginner level and is open to anyone interested in learning about or improving their knowledge of plant terminology and the characteristics of common plant families, and becoming competent at plant keying using the Jepson Manual and online resources. Those just entering the world of plant identification will benefit from learning the diagnostic characteristics of the most important plant families in CA. Those with prior plant identification experience will be able to refresh their skills and increase their proficiency with more difficult groups such as the Poaceae (grasses) and Asteraceae (sunflowers). Emphasis will be placed on common groups of plants in Southern CA; however, information learned in this class will be readily applicable throughout CA and the world. Description: This is a 3-day introductory workshop. We will begin by teaching basic plant morphology with a focus on the structures necessary for plant ID. Participants will learn the specialized terminology necessary to identify plants in 15 common CA plant families. These families contain more than 5000 taxa, which account for more than 70% of the plant diversity in CA. Learning the characteristics of these plant families will reduce the amount of time required to key many plants to genus and species.

  • Long-Term Management Plan for Bald Eagle and Rare Plant Habitat
    LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR BALD EAGLE AND RARE PLANT HABITAT MOON CAMP RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Prepared For: RCK Properties, Inc. P.O. Box 706 Big Bear City, California 92314 Contact: Michael Perry Prepared By: ELMT Consulting 2201 N. Grand Avenue #10098 Santa Ana, California 92711 Contact: Thomas J. McGill, Ph.D. and Timothy Krantz Environmental Consulting 39611 Oak Glen Road Yucaipa, California 92399 Contact: Timothy Krantz, Ph.D. August 2019 Executive Summary This Long-Term Management Plan (LTMP) has been prepared to provide permanent protection and long- term management of habitat for American bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and rare plant species on the Moon Camp residential subdivision (henceforth, “the Project”), situated near the unincorporated town of Fawnskin in Big Bear Valley, San Bernardino County, California. Bald eagle use of the Moon Camp property is limited to occasional perching in trees along the lakeshore and foraging for fish and waterfowl over Big Bear Lake. Potential impacts of the Moon Camp residential development are therefore limited to the near-shore perch trees and foraging habitat along the lake. Rare plant habitat on the Project site consists of ashy-gray Indian paintbrush (Castilleja cinerea), a federally Threatened species, and several other rare and locally restricted species. The rare plant habitat is primarily confined to the western portion of the Project area within the area designated as Open Space Letter Lots A and H. This LTMP describes preservation measures, management activities and the implementation of a long-term monitoring program to improve and maintain optimal bald eagle and rare plant habitat onsite in perpetuity.
