Palatability and usage vary between RABBITBRUSH subspecies of yellow rabbitbrush (McArthuer et al., 1979). Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus (Hook.) Nutt. Yellow rabbitbrush provides cover and nesting habitat for Plant Symbol = CHVI8 sage-grouse, small birds and rodents (Gregg et al., 1994). Black-tailed jackrabbits consume large quantities of Contributed by: USDA NRCS Idaho Plant Materials yellow rabbitbrush during winter and early spring when Program plants are dormant (Curie and Goodwin, 1966). Yellow rabbitbrush provides late summer and fall forage for butterflies. Unpublished field reports indicate visitation from bordered patch butterflies (Chlosyne lacinia), Mormon metalmark (Apodemia mormo), mourning cloak (Nymphalis antiopa), common checkered skipper (Pyrgus communis), and Weidemeyer’s admiral (Limenitis weidemeyerii). Restoration: Yellow rabbitbrush is a seral species which colonizes disturbed areas making it well suited for use in restoration and revegetation plantings. It can be established from direct seeding and will spread via windborne seed. It has been successfully used for revegetating depleted rangelands, strip mines and roadsides (Plummer, 1977). Status Please consult the PLANTS Web site and your State Department of Natural Resources for this plant’s current status (e.g., threatened or endangered species, state noxious status, and wetland indicator values). Description General: Sunflower family (Asteraceae). Yellow rabbitbrush is a low- to moderate-growing shrub reaching mature heights of 20 to 100 cm (8 to 39 in) tall. The stems Al Schneider @ USDA-NRCS PLANTS Database can be glabrous or pubescent depending on variety, and are covered with pale green to white-gray bark.

  • TEXAS BLUEBONNET 'ALAMO FIRE' Lupinus Texensis(Fabaceae
    TEXAS BLUEBONNET ‘ALAMO FIRE’ Lupinus texensis(Fabaceae) Characteristics Type: Annual Bloom Color: Maroon with white tip Root type: Tap Blooms: March to May Height: 1-2 feet Winter Hardy Water Use: Low Well drained soil Light: full sun Attractive to bees Soil: Dry Texas Superstar® Culture A hardy winter annual that is a relative of the "State Flower of Texas". The maroon flowers are densely arranged on a spike with a characteristic ice white terminal tip. Bluebonnets cannot tolerate poorly drained, clay based soils. Seed planted in poorly drained soils will germinate, but plants will never fully develop. Seedlings will become either stunted or turn yellow and soon die. Prefers a sloped area in light to gravelly, well drained, soil with a pH level between 6-7. Seed is scarified for quick germination. Bluebonnets require 8 hours of direct sun. Noteworthy Characteristics A Bluebonnet with an "Attitude" for the 21st century, the Alamo Fire is an exclusive introduction from Wildseed Farms, developed in conjunction with Dr. Jerry Parsons. The original plant was found in the wild near San Antonio, Texas and has taken over 20 years to develop for your gardening pleasure. Cross-pollination may occur in future generations. To keep plants true to color, remove any plant that blooms in purple or blue shades as soon as possible. Problems Plants in the genus Lupinus, especially the seeds, can be toxic to humans and animals if ingested. Garden Uses Texas bluebonnets can be grown in raised flower beds, half wooden barrels, hanging baskets, mixtures, hillsides, roadsides and meadows. .

  • Texosporium Sancti-Jacobi, a Rare Western North American Lichen
    4347 The Bryologist 95(3), 1992, pp. 329-333 Copyright © 1992 by the American Bryological and Lichenological Society, Inc. Texosporium sancti-jacobi, a Rare Western North American Lichen BRUCE MCCUNE Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331-2902 ROGER ROSENTRETER Bureau of Land Management, Idaho State Office, 3380 Americana Terrace, Boise, ID 83706 Abstract. The lichen Texosporium sancti-jacobi (Ascomycetes: Caliciales) is known from only four general locations worldwide, all in western U.S.A. Typical habitat of Texosporium has the following characteristics: arid or semiarid climate; nearly flat ground; noncalcareous, nonsaline, fine- or coarse-textured soils developed on noncalcareous parent materials; little evidence of recent disturbance; sparse vascular plant vegetation; and dominance by native plant species. Within these constraints Texosporium occurs on restricted microsites: partly decomposed small mammal dung or organic matter infused with soil. The major threat to long-term survival of Texosporium is loss of habitat by extensive destruction of the soil crust by overgrazing, invasion of weedy annual grasses and resulting increases in fire frequency, and conversion of rangelands to agriculture and suburban developments. Habitat protection efforts are important to perpetuate this species. The lichen Texosporium sancti-jacobi (Tuck.) revisited. The early collections from that area have vague Nadv. is globally ranked (conservation status G2) location data while more recent collections (1950s-1960s) by the United States Rare Lichen Project (S.

    New England Plant Conservation Program Desmodium cuspidatum (Muhl.) Loudon Large-bracted Tick-trefoil Conservation and Research Plan for New England Prepared by: Lynn C. Harper Habitat Protection Specialist Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program Westborough, Massachusetts For: New England Wild Flower Society 180 Hemenway Road Framingham, MA 01701 508/877-7630 e-mail: [email protected] • website: www.newfs.org Approved, Regional Advisory Council, 2002 SUMMARY Desmodium cuspidatum (Muhl.) Loudon (Fabaceae) is a tall, herbaceous, perennial legume that is regionally rare in New England. Found most often in dry, open, rocky woods over circumneutral to calcareous bedrock, it has been documented from 28 historic and eight current sites in the three states (Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts) where it is tracked by the Natural Heritage programs. The taxon has not been documented from Maine. In Connecticut and Rhode Island, the species is reported but not tracked by the Heritage programs. Two current sites in Connecticut are known from herbarium specimens. No current sites are known from Rhode Island. Although secure throughout most of its range in eastern and midwestern North America, D. cuspidatum is Endangered in Vermont, considered Historic in New Hampshire, and watch-listed in Massachusetts. It is ranked G5 globally. Very little is understood about the basic biology of this species. From work on congeners, it can be inferred that there are likely to be no problems with pollination, seed set, or germination. As for most legumes, rhizobial bacteria form nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of D. cuspidatum. It is unclear whether there have been any changes in the numbers or distribution of rhizobia capable of forming effective mutualisms with D.
