  • Artemisia Californica Less
    I. SPECIES Artemisia californica Less. [Updated 2017] NRCS CODE: Subtribe: Artemisiinae ARCA11 Tribe: Anthemideae (FEIS CODE: Family: Asteraceae ARCAL) Order: Asterales Subclass: Asteridae Class: Magnoliopsida flowering heads spring growth seedling, March 2009 juvenile plant photos A. Montalvo flowering plant, November 2005 mature plant with flower buds August 2010 A. Subspecific taxa None. Artemisia californica Less. var. insularis (Rydb.) Munz is now recognized as Artemisia nesiotica P.H. Raven (Jepson eFlora 2017). B. Synonyms Artemisia abrotanoides Nuttall; A. fischeriana Besser; A. foliosa Nuttall; Crossostephium californicum (Lessing) Rydberg (FNA 2017). C. Common name California sagebrush. The common name refers to its strong, sage-like aroma and endemism to California and Baja California. Other names include: coastal sage, coast sage, coast sagebrush (Painter 2016). D. Taxonomic relationships The FNA (2017) places this species in subgenus Artemisia . The molecular phylogeny of the genus has improved the understanding of relationships among the many species of Artemisia and has, at times, placed the species in subgenus Tridentadae; morphology of the inflorescences and flowers alone does not place this species with its closest relatives (Watson et al. 2002). The detailed phylogeny is not completely resolved (Hayat et al. 2009). E. Related taxa in region There are 18 species and a total of 31 taxa (including infrataxa) of Artemisia in southern California, all of which differ clearly from A. californica in habitat affinity, structure, or both (Munz 1974, Jepson eFlora 2017). Within subgenus Artemisia (as per FNA 2017), A. nesiotica from the Channel Islands is the most similar and was once considered part of A. californica ; it can be distinguished by its wider leaves with flat leaf margins (not rolled under).

Chaparral species of California, USA, exhibit three life history types in response to fire: non-sprouters (NS), facultative sprouters (FS), and obligate sprouters (OS). Adult non-sprouters are killed by fire; thus populations reestablish only through fire- stimulated seed germination and seedling recruitment. Facultative sprouters reestablish by both vegetative sprouting and seed germination. Obligate sprouters reestablish only by vegetative sprouting and do not recruit seedlings post-fire. Previous data suggest that post-fire NS and FS seedlings reestablish as open-canopy gap specialists, whereas OS seedlings primarily reestablish in deep shade during fire-free intervals. Their non-refractory seeds are killed by fire. We hypothesized that these differences in life history, compared within the same taxonomic group, would result in a range of relative resistance to water stress such that NS . FS . OS. To test our hypothesis, we estimated resistance to water stress using resistance to xylem cavitation (the water potential at 50% loss in hydraulic conductivity; W50) for stems and roots in nine species of the family Rhamnaceae: Ceanothus megacarpus, C.

Taxonomic relationships Ceanothus is a diverse genus with over 50 taxa that cluster in to two subgenera. C. crassifolius has long been recognized as part of the Cerastes group of Ceanothus based on morphology, life-history, and crossing studies (McMinn 1939a, Nobs 1963). In phylogenetic analyses based on RNA and chloroplast DNA, Hardig et al. (2000) found C. crassifolius clustered into the Cerastes group and in each analysis shared a clade with C. ophiochilus. In molecular and morphological analyses, Burge et al. (2011) also found C. crassifolius clustered into Cerastes. Cerastes included over 20 taxa and numerous subtaxa in both studies. Eight Cerastes taxa occur in southern California (see I. E. Related taxa in region). E. Related taxa in region In southern California, the related Cerastes taxa include: C.

NESOM 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76109 www.guynesom.com ABSTRACT Oxalis pilosa was observed and collected in a park in San Angelo, Texas (Tom Green Co.), in 1983, where it apparently was naturalized. The Texas locality is long-disjunct from the primary range of the species far to the west. Continued study of Oxalis collections reveals the presence in Texas of O. pilosa Nutt. ex Torr. & A. Gray, a species not previously known to occur in the state. It is known only from this single collection, disjunct far to the east of its primary geographic range. Voucher. Texas . Tom Green Co.: South San Angelo, dry sandy soil S of Southland Park, 14 Mar 1983, Steen 12 (BRIT). Figures 1 and 2. The native distribution of Oxalis pilosa is primarily in Arizona, southern California, and northwestern Mexico –– it occurs as an adventive in peripheral localities in Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Utah (Nesom 2009). In Mexico it occurs primarily in northwestern states (Baja California, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Sonora), with scattered localities to the east in Nuevo León. Oxalis pilosa is characterized as a caulescent perennial arising from a ligneous or lignescent taproot. Stems are proximally lignescent, usually 2–8 from the base, decumbent to ascending, and sparsely to densely pilose, the hairs spreading, irregularly oriented to somewhat regularly deflexed, the longer 0.7–1.2 mm. It has been treated as an infraspecific entity within O.

    Flora and Ecology of the Santa Monica Mountains Edited by D.A. Knapp. 2007. Southern California Botanists, Fullerton, CA. 159 FREEZING TOLERANCE IMPACTS CHAPARRAL SPECIES DISTRIBUTION IN THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS Stephen D. Davis1, R. Brandon Pratt2, Frank W. Ewers3, and Anna L. Jacobsen4 1Natural Science Division Pepperdine University, Malibu, CA 90263 [email protected]. 2Department of Biology California State University, Bakersfield Bakersfield, CA 93311 [email protected] 3Biological Sciences Department California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Pomona, CA 91768 [email protected] 4Michigan State University Department of Plant Biology East Lansing, MI 48824 [email protected] ABSTRACT: A shift in chaparral species composition occurs from coastal to inland sites of the Santa Monica Mountains of southern California. Past studies have attributed this pattern to differential adaptations of chaparral species to gradients in moisture and solar radiation. We examined an alternate hypothesis, that shifts in species composition from coastal to inland sites is a result of differential response to freezing and the interactions of freezing with drought. Coastal sites rarely experience air temperatures below 0 °C whereas just 5 to 6 km inland, cold valleys experience temperatures as low as -12 °C. Seasonal drought can last 6 to 8 months and may extend, on rare occasions, into the month of December, coincidental with the onset of winter freeze. Either water stress or freezing, by independent mechanisms, can induce embolism in stem xylem and block water transport from soil to leaves, leading to branchlet dieback or whole shoot death. Water stress in combination with freezing may enhance xylem embolism formation. Post- fire seedlings are especially vulnerable because of greater tissue sensitivity to freezing injury, diminutive roots that preclude access to deep soil moisture or resprout success, and greater exposure to nighttime radiation freezes after canopy removal by fire.
