  • Literature Cited
    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volume 8, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treat- ments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recom- mended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbreviated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu et al. (1992– 2009). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alpha- betically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”. There may be citations in this list that have dates suffixed “b” but that are not preceded by citations of “[a]” works for the same year, or that have dates suffixed “c,” “d,” or “e” but that are not preceded by citations of “[a],” “b,” “c,” and/or “d” works for that year.

  • Buzz-Pollinated Dodecatheon Originated from Within The
    American Journal of Botany 91(6): 926±942. 2004. BUZZ-POLLINATED DODECATHEON ORIGINATED FROM WITHIN THE HETEROSTYLOUS PRIMULA SUBGENUS AURICULASTRUM (PRIMULACEAE): ASEVEN-REGION CPDNA PHYLOGENY AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR FLORAL EVOLUTION1 AUSTIN R. MAST,2,4 DANIELLE M. S. FELLER,2,5 SYLVIA KELSO,3 AND ELENA CONTI2 2Institute of Systematic Botany, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 107, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland; and 3Department of Biology, Colorado College, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80903 USA We sequenced seven cpDNA regions from 70 spp. in Dodecatheon, Primula subgenus Auriculastrum, and outgroups, reconstructed their cpDNA phylogeny with maximum parsimony, and determined branch support with bootstrap frequencies and Bayesian posterior probabilities. Strongly supported conclusions include the (1) paraphyly of Primula subgenus Auriculastrum with respect to a mono- phyletic Dodecatheon, (2) sister relationship between the North American Dodecatheon and the Californian P. suffrutescens, (3) novel basal split in Dodecatheon to produce one clade with rugose and one clade with smooth anther connectives, (4) monophyly of all sections of Primula subgenus Auriculastrum, and (5) exclusion of the enigmatic Primula section Amethystina from the similar Primula subgenus Auriculastrum. These results support the origin of the monomorphic, buzz-pollinated ¯ower of Dodecatheon from the heterostylous ¯ower of Primula. We marshal evidence to support the novel hypothesis that the solanoid ¯ower of Dodecatheon represents the ®xation of recessive alleles at the heterostyly linkage group (pin phenotype). Of the remaining traits associated with their solanoid ¯owers, we recognize at least six likely to have arisen with the origin of Dodecatheon, one that preceded it (¯ower coloration, a transfer exaptation in Dodecatheon), and one that followed it (rugose anther connectives, an adaptation to buzz pollination).

  • Plant Guide for Maguire's Primrose
    Plant Guide Description MAGUIRE PRIMROSE General: Primrose family (Primulaceae). Maguire’s primrose is a small, herbaceous, perennial forb. The Primula cusickiana (A. Gray) A. leaves are clustered around the base of the plant and are Gray var. maguirei (L.O. oblanceolate to spatulate and range from 2 to 7 cm (1 to 3 in) long. They can be smooth edged or toothed and have Williams) N.H. Holmgren & S. glands on both sides. The flowers are born in a 1 to 3 Kelso flowered cluster on a naked stem reaching 15 cm (6 in) in height. Each plant can have 1 to several flower bearing Plant Symbol = PRCUM stems. The flowers are rose to lavender in color with a yellow center (Welsh et al., 2003). Contributed by: USDA NRCS Idaho and Utah Plant Materials Program Distribution: There are six known populations of Maguire’s primrose; all located in Logan Canyon, Cache County, Utah. For current distribution, consult the Plant Profile page for this species on the PLANTS Web site. Habitat: Maguire’s primrose is restricted to shallow dolomitic soils of the Laketown and Fish Haven geologic formations. It can be found in north facing exposures in cracks and crevices of cliff and boulder faces from 1,400 to 1,800 m (4,800 to 6,000 ft) elevation. It is always found in cool, moist microclimates. It can be found growing in association with pink alumroot (Huechera rubescens), Maguire’s primrose (Primula cusickiana var. maguirei).

Washington, D.C. 20426 Subject: Big Creek Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. P-10721) Filing of Draft License Application Dear Secretary Bose: Pursuant to the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the Traditional Licensing Process (TLP), 18 CFR 4.61 for Minor Power Projects 1.5 Megawatts or Less, the Idaho Aviation Foundation (IAF) submits the application for a relicense/license for the Big Creek Hydroelectric Project, FERC Project No. P-10721 (Project), located on McCorkle Creek in a remote mountainous region of central Idaho, 24 miles northeast of Yellow Pine, in Valley County, Idaho. IAF has been designated by the FERC as the Non-federal representative for the purposes of consultation, pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act and the joint agency regulations thereunder at 50 CFR Part 402, Section 305(b) of the Magnuson – Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and the implementing regulations at 50 CFR 600.920 and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The ISHPO found that actions of the Big Creek Hydroelectric Project, pursuant to 36 CFR 800.5, and based on the Submitted Project information, would result in no historical properties affected (36 CFR 800.4(d)). The IAF will also, in accordance with 18 CFR 5.23(b), submit a Clean Water Act 401 application to the state of Idaho no later than 60 days after FERC issues a public notice that the application for new license is ready for environmental analysis per instructions from Idaho DEQ.
