    The 31St Annual Wildflower Hotline, Brought to You by the Theodore

    Welcome to the 31st Annual Wildflower Hotline, brought to you by the Theodore Payne Foundation, a non-profit plant nursery, seed source, book store, and education center dedicated to the preservation of wildflowers and California native plants. This a report for March 15, 2013. New reports will be posted each Friday through the end of May. The alternating warm weather and rain events have encouraged more blooms to come out in some of our favorite places. There were nice reports this week from the mountains and inland valleys of Orange and Riverside counties. Wildflowers are in bloom at Harford Springs Preserve in Western Riverside County mostly in the southern part of the park. California poppies (Eschscholzia californica) are blooming in large patches on several hillsides with California bells (Phacelia minor) and California figwort (Scrophularia californica) spotting the landscape among the rocks and boulders. Forget-me-nots (Cryptantha spp.), popcorn flowers (Plagiobothrys spp.) and California sun cup (Camissoniopsis bistorta) are plentiful beside the trails. Chia (Salvia columbariae) is abundant but shorter in stature this year. Chocolate lillies (Fritillaria biflora) are starting to bloom next to junipers along the grassy slopes near Ida Leona Road. Cream cups (Platystemmon californicus) are small this year, but patchy in the landscape in little swales. Oak gooseberry (Ribes quercertorum), hoary- leaved (Ceanothus crassifolius), and wild cucumber (Marah macrocarpa) are the major perennials in bloom. There are a few small patches of baby blue-eyes (Nemophila menziesii) in the shade of the magnificent junipers this park is famous for. Baby blue-eyes (Nemophila menziesii). Photo by Michael Charters Traveling west across the valley to the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve, the Clinton Keith Road that brings you to the Plateau is stunning with hoary-leaf ceanothus (Cenothus crassifolius) in peak bloom.

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.

The area was nominated by the National Forest as a candidate RNA in 1986 to preserve an example of the Sierra Nevada mixed conifer forest for the South Coast Range Province. The RNA as defined in this report covers 2963 acres (1199 ha). The boundaries differ from those originally proposed by the National Forest (map 5, and see discussion of boundaries in later section).

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.

    Report on Biological Surveys for Upper Chiquita Canyon Conservation Easement 2007

    REPORT ON BIOLOGICAL SURVEYS FOR UPPER CHIQUITA CANYON CONSERVATION EASEMENT 2007 Prepared for: TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR AGENCIES 125 Pacifica P.O. Box 53770 Irvine, CA 92619-3770 (949) 754-3400 Contact: Ms. Valarie McFall Prepared by: HARMSWORTH ASSOCIATES 19 Golf Ridge Drive Dove Canyon, CA 92679 (949) 858-1553 FEBRUARY 2008 Upper Chiquita Canyon Conservation Easement Biological Studies 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2007 was the eleventh year of active management of Upper Chiquita Canyon Conservation Easement by the Transportation Corridor Agencies. During spring and summer 2007, Harmsworth Associates conducted vegetation surveys in Upper Chiquita Canyon Conservation Easement, in the 2002 Burn Areas only. In 2007, only 3.84 inches of precipitation was recorded for the region, the lowest on record this centaury. Drought stress was evident in both cactus recovery and cover of native and non-native species in the 2002 Burn Area. Accordingly, the most dominant cover type in 2007 was dead vegetation material. Despite the sparse rainfall, the 2002 burn area continues to follow a typical pattern of vegetation cover for post-burn coastal sage scrub communities. Mid- to late-successional species such as laurel sumac (Malosma laurina), coastal sagebrush (Artemisia californica), and California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum) are increasing in dominance as they become established through germination and resprouting. The total number of plant species detected in the transects in 2007 continued to decrease to 27, from 53 in 2006, 64 in 2005 from 36 recorded in 2004. This represents a 49.1% decrease in plant species richness, from 2006, and a 57.8% decline in species richness from 2005, which is expected in drought years and as pioneering fire followers are outcompeted by shrubs, grasses and root-crown resprouting which occurs in the post-fire environment.

Summary The Santa Ysabel Ranch Open Space Preserve was established in 2001 from a purchase by The Nature Conservancy from the Edwards Family; the Ranch is now owned by the County of San Diego and managed as a Department of Parks and Recreation Open Space Preserve. It totals nearly 5,400 acres and is comprised of two parcels; an "East Ranch” and a "West Ranch". The East Ranch is east of the town of Santa Ysabel (and Highway 79 running north) and is bordered on the east by Farmer's Road in Julian.
