  • Wild Plants of the East Bay Regional Park District
    Wild Plants of the East Bay Regional Park District A Photographic Guide Sorted by Family Name Photographs by Wilde Legard Botanist, East Bay Regional Park District Revision: February 23, 2007 More than 2,000 species of native and naturalized plants grow wild in the San Francisco Bay Area. Most are very difficult to identify without the help of good illustrations. This is designed to be a simple, color photo guide to help you identify some of these plants. The selection of plants displayed in this guide is by no means complete. The intent is to expand the quality and quantity of photos over time. The revision date is shown on the cover and on the header of each photo page. A comprehensive plant list for this area (including the many species not found in this publication) can be downloaded at the East Bay Regional Park District’s wild plant download page at: http://www.ebparks.org. This guide is published electronically in Adobe Acrobat® format to accommodate these planned updates. You have permission to freely download, distribute, and print this pdf for individual use. You are not allowed to sell the electronic or printed versions. In this version of the guide, the included plants are sorted alphabetically by scientific family name, and by scientific name within each family. Under each photograph are four lines of information, based on upon the current standard wild plant reference for Cali- fornia: The Jepson Manual: Higher Plants of California, 1993. Scientific Name Scientific names revised since 1993 are NOT included in this edition. Common Name These non-standard names are based on Jepson and other local references.

FRAGA Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden Claremont, California 91711-3157, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT A revised taxonomic classification of Phrymaceae down to species level is presented, based on molecular-phylogenetic and morpho-taxonomic studies, setting a framework for ongoing work. In the concept adopted, the family includes 188 species divided into 13 genera. All species as currently understood are listed and assigned to genera and sections which in several cases have new circumscriptions requiring many new combinations. Four main clades are recognized. Clade A. An Asian-African-Australasian-centered clade of 7 genera: Mimulus L. sensu stricto (7 species) of North America, Asia to Africa, and Australasia is sister to an Australian-centered group that comprises Elacholoma (2 species), Glossostigma (5 species), Microcarpaea (2 species), Peplidium (4 species), Uvedalia (2 species) and a new monotypic genus Thyridia , described here.

  • American Wild Carrot Is Self-Fertile
    2-4 feet in height and unbranched or only a single weak branch as compared to the introduced Daucus AMERICAN WILD carota, which is sometimes heavily branched and more robust. The flower is a white umbel. Upon maturity, CARROT the flower cluster (umbel) closes to form a cup or bird’s nest. The leaves are pinnately compound and Daucus pusillus Michx. finely cut. Leaflets are deeply serrated (saw-toothed). plant symbol = DAPU3 The seed of Daucus carota have fine hairs rather than the stiff bristles common to Daucus pusillus. Another Contributed By: USDA, NRCS, Nacogdoches (TX) distinguishing characteristic between the two species is Technical Office and the National Plant Data Center the central flower of each individual umbellet is rose or purple in Daucus carota rather than being white throughout as found in Daucus pusillus. American wild carrot is self-fertile. The flowers are hermaphrodite, having both male and female organs, and are pollinated by flies and bees. A similar species is water parsnip (Sium suave), which has a corrugated main stem and leaves only once compound. Bishop’s weed (Ammi majus) and water hemlock (Cicuta maculata) have white umbels, but the leaflets are not deeply serrated or carrot like. Distribution © Lee Davis USDA, NRCS, Nacogdoches Technical Office Daucus (pusillus or carota) is likely the most common and widespread plant with white umbels growing along Texas’ roadsides. It is known from the U.S. Alternate Names West Coast and the southern half of the U.S. For Rattlesnakeweed, southwestern carrot, seedticks, current distribution, please consult the Plant Profile rattlesnake-weed, yerba del vibora page for this species on the PLANTS Web site.

  • Queen Anne's Lace
    El Camino Real Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalist Program The Nature of Milam County Project Bloom – From March to June. Seed head Queen Anne’s Lace (umbrel) is made up of numerous individual flowers. Each flower produces two seeds. Family – Acanthaceae (Acanthus) Colors – White umbrels, with a purplish/black Genus/Species – Daucus pucillus/Daucus carota floret at the center of the cluster. Form – Upright. Polination Source – The single darkly colored floret was believed by botanists to be a genetic oddity; but, some now think that it tricks flying insects into thinking a bug is already on the flower in order to attract predatory wasps which signals others that something on this flower is worth having and thereby enhancing pollination of the plant. Additional Description – References differ in that some say the plant is often mistaken for wild carrot which blooms in flat clusters and has pedicels that turn upward into a “bird’s nest” when flowers pass. Others state Daucus carota as the true family name. Its range is throughout the U.S. and may be found in the South Texas Public Domain Plains and Edwards Plateau region. It is native to Common Names – American wild carrot, bird’s Europe and considered a pernicious weed in some areas. nest, bishop’s lace, rattlesnake-weed, bees nest, devil’s plague, fools parsley Leaves/Petal –Shaped like an umbrella made up of many small flowers in a lace-like pattern. Pinnately divided leaves up to 7” long resemble Plant Type – Biennial. the domestic carrot, poison hemlock and fool’s parsley. The root is thick and resembles a Height – 2 - 4’ tall.
