  • Legenere Limosa (Legenere)
    7. LEGENERE LIMOSA (LEGENERE) a. Description and Taxonomy Taxonomy.—Greene (1890) originally published the scientific name Howellia limosa for legenere. He gave the type locality only as “the lower Sacramento” (Greene 1890:81). Based on label information from Greene’s collections, the type locality has been further described as “Fields of the lower Sacramento Valley near Elmira, Solano County, California” (McVaugh 1943:14). McVaugh (1943) determined that this species differed sufficiently from Howellia to be transferred to a new genus, Legenere. Thus, the currently accepted name for this species is Legenere limosa. Legenere is the only species in its genus (Morin 1993), which is in the bellflower family (Campanulaceae). Another common name for this species is Greene’s legenere (Morin and Niehaus 1977, Holland 1984). Description and Identification.—Legenere limosa is an inconspicuous annual. The entire plant is hairless. The main stems are 10 to 30 centimeters (3.9 to 11.8 inches) long and decumbent, although any branches are erect. Extra roots often arise from the lower nodes. The leaves, which are produced underwater, are 1 to 3 centimeters (0.4 to 1.2 inches) long and narrowly triangular; they fall off the plant before flowers appear. The egg-shaped or oval bracts are 6 to 12 millimeters (0.24 to 0.47 inch) long and remain throughout the flowering period. A single flower arises above each bract. Legenere limosa flowers may or may not have corollas, and a single plant can produce both types of flowers. When present, the corollas are white or yellowish, 3.5 to 4 millimeters (0.14 to 0.16 inch) long, and two-lipped.

We have never had so many problems in fitting the range of plants we have “on our books” into the available space! We always try and keep our lists “democratic” and balanced although at times our prejudices show and one or two groups rise to the top. This year we are offering an unprecedented range of calochortus in a multiplicity of sizes, colours and flower shapes from the charming fairy lanterns of C. albidus through to the spectacular, later-flowering mariposas with upward-facing bowl-shaped flowers in a rich tapestry of shades from canary-yellow through to lilac, lavender and purple. Counterpoised to these flashy dandies we are offering an assortment of choice muscari whose quiet charm, softer colours and Tulipa vvedenskyi Tecophilaea cyanocrocus Violacea persistent flowering make them no less effective in the winter and spring garden. Standouts among this group are the deliciously scented duo, M. muscarimi and M. macrocarpum and the striking and little known tassel-hyacith, M. weissii. While it has its devotees, many gardeners are unaware of the qualities of the large and diverse tribe of “onions”, known as alliums.

  • Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp (Branchinecta Lynchi)
    Invertebrates Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi) Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp (Brachinecta lynchi) Status State: Meets the requirements as a “rare, threatened, or endangered species” under CEQA Federal: Threatened Critical Habitat: Designated 2006 (USFWS 2006) Population Trend Global: Declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation (Eriksen and Belk 1999) State: As above Within Inventory Area: Unknown Data Characterization The location database for the vernal pool fairy shrimp (Brachinecta lynchi) within the inventory area includes 6 records from 1993, 1997, and 1999. The majority of locations are vernal pools within non-native grassland. Other natural and artificial habitats have a high probability of being occupied by additional populations of the vernal pool fairy shrimp throughout the grassland habitats within the ECCC HCP/NCCP inventory area. Beyond the original description (Eng et al. 1990), a scanning electron micrograph of the cyst (resting egg) (Hill and Shepard 1997), and some generalized natural history data (Helm 1997), no peer-reviewed technical literature has been published concerning the vernal pool fairy shrimp. Eriksen and Belk (1999) presented a brief discussion of the vernal pool fairy shrimp and provided a distribution map. Range The vernal pool fairy shrimp is found from Jackson County near Medford, Oregon, throughout the Central Valley, and west to the central Coast Ranges. Isolated southern populations occur on the Santa Rosa Plateau and near Rancho California in Riverside County (Eng et al.1990, Eriksen

  • Importance of Coastal Grasslands Point Reyes Seashore & Influence
    Importance of Coastal Grasslands Point Reyes Seashore & Influence of Shrub Establishment October 18, 2012 Central Coast Rangeland Coalition Fall 2012 Meeting Abstracts Why Do We Care about California’s Coastal Prairie? Dr. Grey Hayes, Restoration Ecologist, Elkhorn Slough Reserve In a very brief presentation, Dr. Hayes outlines some of the central concerns facing conservationists working to maintain biological diversity in California’s coastal prairie. A wealth of rare plant and wildlife species is found in this increasingly threatened plant community. Even when ‘protected,’ coastal prairie managers are afforded little funding and even less scientific certainty about how to manage this system. Will we find a way to care enough to save California’s coastal prairie species? Characteristics and Dynamics of California Coastal Grasslands Joe McBride, Professor, Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, University of California, Berkeley Grasslands of the coastal zone in California vary in species composition in relation to environmental gradients and grazing history. Studies of grasslands in Mt. Tamilpais State Park demonstrate the importance of the summer fog gradient in controlling species composition. The elimination of grazing from the park in the 1950s resulted in the "recovery" and/or "return" of native bunch grass species. The grasslands in Mt. Tamilpais State Park are now being invaded by coyote brush and Douglas-fir. A similar invasion has been noted in coastal grasslands in parks and open space areas of the San Francisco Bay area where livestock have been removed. Vegetation Community Change and Special Status Species in the Rangelands of Point Reyes National Seashore Amelia Ryan, Wetland and Plant Ecologist, Point Reyes National Seashore, National Park Service Point Reyes supports over 60 plant species that are considered rare, threatened, or endangered, including many that occur in grazed lands.

  • Appendix a California Tiger Salamander and California Fairy Shrimp Aquatic Sampling Survey Report
    Appendix A California Tiger Salamander and California Fairy Shrimp Aquatic Sampling Survey Report California Tiger Salamander and California Fairy Shrimp Aquatic Sampling Survey Report Prepared for: Shaw Environmental, Inc. Prepared By: Denise Duffy & Associates, Inc. Contact: Josh Harwayne Senior Project Manager (831) 373-4341 September 2007 SUMMARY The Army is required to conduct wetland monitoring surveys in any areas where environmental cleanup activities could possibly impact protected wetland species on the Former Fort Ord U.S. Army base (Fort Ord), in Monterey County, California (Figure 1). This study provides faunal baseline data for Ranges where soil remediation is likely to be performed in the near future, and could possibly have biological impacts on protected wetland species or habitat. The monitoring study is consistent with the “Wetland Monitoring and Restoration Plan for Munitions and Contaminated Soil Remedial Activities at Former Fort Ord” (ACOE, 2006). Faunal baseline aquatic sampling studies were conducted by Denise Duffy and Associates, Inc. (DD&A) to determine the presence/absence of the federally Threatened California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense, CTS) and invertebrates, including the California fairy shrimp (Linderiella occidentalis), a federal species of special concern, at several locations within Fort Ord. Four study sites (Pools 8, 10, 21, and 30) and three control sites (Pools 5, 56, and 101 East) were identified for surveys (Figure 2). Due to the lack of sufficient ponding at three of the study pools during 2007, aquatic sampling occurred only at one of the study sites (Pool 10) and the three control sites. All four water bodies were sampled twice between January and March 2007 for invertebrates.

Location of work: Santa Rosa Plain, Sonoma County, California 2. Background: Burke’s goldfield (Lasthenia burkei), a small, slender annual herb in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), is known only from southern portions of Lake and Mendocino counties and from northeastern Sonoma County. Historically, 39 populations were known from the Santa Rosa Plain, two sites in Lake County, and one site in Mendocino County. The occurrence in Mendocino County is most likely extirpated. From north to south on the Santa Rosa Plain, the species ranges from north of the community of Windsor to east of the city of Sebastopol. The long-term viability of many populations of Burke’s goldfields is particularly problematic due to population decline. There are currently 20 known extant populations, a subset of which were inoculated into pools at constructed sites to mitigate the loss of natural populations in the context of development.

  • Gymnaconitum, a New Genus of Ranunculaceae Endemic to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
    TAXON 62 (4) • August 2013: 713–722 Wang & al. • Gymnaconitum, a new genus of Ranunculaceae Gymnaconitum, a new genus of Ranunculaceae endemic to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Wei Wang,1 Yang Liu,2 Sheng-Xiang Yu,1 Tian-Gang Gao1 & Zhi-Duan Chen1 1 State Key Laboratory of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100093, P.R. China 2 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, Connecticut 06269-3043, U.S.A. Author for correspondence: Wei Wang, [email protected] Abstract The monophyly of traditional Aconitum remains unresolved, owing to the controversial systematic position and taxonomic treatment of the monotypic, Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau endemic A. subg. Gymnaconitum. In this study, we analyzed two datasets using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods: (1) two markers (ITS, trnL-F) of 285 Delphinieae species, and (2) six markers (ITS, trnL-F, trnH-psbA, trnK-matK, trnS-trnG, rbcL) of 32 Delphinieae species. All our analyses show that traditional Aconitum is not monophyletic and that subgenus Gymnaconitum and a broadly defined Delphinium form a clade. The SOWH tests also reject the inclusion of subgenus Gymnaconitum in traditional Aconitum. Subgenus Gymnaconitum markedly differs from other species of Aconitum and other genera of tribe Delphinieae in many non-molecular characters. By integrating lines of evidence from molecular phylogeny, divergence times, morphology, and karyology, we raise the mono- typic A. subg. Gymnaconitum to generic status.
