Three ways to contact us: FAX: (303) 621-2864 (24 HRS.) email: [email protected] website: www.alplains.com Dear Growing Friends: Welcome to our 23rd annual seed catalog! The summer of 2012 was long, hot and brutal, with drought afflicting most of the U.S. Most of my botanical explorations were restricted to Idaho, Wash- ington, Oregon and northern California but even there moisture was below average. In a year like this, seeps, swales, springs, vestigial snowbanks and localized rainstorms became much more important in my search for seeding plants. On the Snake River Plains of southern Idaho and the scab- lands of eastern Washington, early bloomers such as Viola beckwithii, V. trinervata, Ranunculus glaberrimus, Ranunculus andersonii, Fritillaria pudica and Primula cusickiana put on quite a show in mid-April but many populations could not set seed. In northern Idaho, Erythronium idahoense flowered extensively, whole meadows were covered with thousands of the creamy, pendant blossoms. One of my most satisfying finds in the Hells Canyon area had to be Sedum valens. The tiny glaucous rosettes, surround- ed by a ring of red leaves, are a succulent connoisseur’s dream. Higher up, the brilliant blue spikes of Synthyris missurica punctuated the canyon walls. In southern Oregon, the brilliant red spikes of Pedicularis densiflora lit up the Siskiyou forest floor. Further north in Oregon, large populations of Erythronium elegans, Erythronium oregonum ssp. leucandrum, Erythro- nium revolutum, trilliums and sedums provided wonderful picture-taking opportunities. Eriogonum species did well despite the drought, many of them true xerics. -

Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero. -

College Avenue Claremont, Calif. 91711 ABSTRACT The Liebre Mountains form a discrete unit of the Transverse Ranges of southern California. Geo graphically, the range is transitional to the San Gabriel Mountains, Inner Coast Ranges, Tehachapi Mountains, and Mojave Desert. A total of 1010 vascular plant taxa was recorded from the range, representing 104 families and 400 genera. The ratio of native vs. nonnative elements of the flora is 4:1, similar to that documented in other areas of cismontane southern California. The range is note worthy for the diversity of Quercus and oak-dominated vegetation. A total of 32 sensitive plant taxa (rare, threatened or endangered) was recorded from the range.

A Systematic and Ecological Study of Astragalus Diaphanus (Fabaceae) Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: Kenton L
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Carolyn E. Wright for the degree of Master of Science in Botany and Plant Pathologypresented on December 7, 1990. Title: A Systematic and Ecological Study of Astragalus diaphanus (Fabaceae) Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Kenton L. Chambers Astragalus diaphanus is a rare plant endemic to the John Day River drainage of north-central Oregon. This species has several interesting features, including the dimorphism of its fruit and its geographical isolation from the two nearest taxonomically related species, which occur in Colorado. This study addressed the species' distribution and habitat, the taxonomic relationships between the varieties of A. diaphanus, certain morphological comparisons among the species, possible reasons for the rarity of A. diaphanus, and the population biology of this taxon. Astragalus diaphanus was found to be more widespread in the John Day drainage than was previously known, but its range has shrunk due to habitat loss along the Columbia River. In this study, two varieties are recognized within a single species, based on striking morphological differences in pod forms which correspond to a break in geographical distribution. Other morphological characters are similar between the varieties. Flavonoid analysis and chromosome counts support this taxonomic treatment. Further study is needed to elucidate the relationships of A. diaphanus and its taxonomic relatives in Colorado. A low reproductive rate in A. diaphanus appears to be a potential problem, possibly contributing to its rarity. The species exhibits a combination of annual and biennial life- cycles. Many annual individuals of A. diaphanus perish without reproducing. This may be off-set by a large seed- bank, which is replenished sporadically by high production in robust biennials. -

The Conservation Status of Picabo Milkvetch (Astragalus Oniciformis Barneby)
THE CONSERVATION STATUS OF PICABO MILKVETCH (ASTRAGALUS ONICIFORMIS BARNEBY) by Robert K. Moseley Conservation Data Center Idaho Department of Fish and Game 600 S. Walnut, P.O. Box 25 Boise, ID 83712 and Steve J. Popovich Shoshone District Bureau of Land Management 400 West F St., P.O. Box 2-B Shoshone, ID 83352 January 1995 ABSTRACT Astragalus oniciformis Barneby (Picabo milkvetch) is a narrowly- distributed endemic to the north-central portion of the eastern Snake River Plain. Habitat for nearly the entire known distribution of this species is managed by the BLM, mostly the Shoshone District, but also the Idaho Falls District. Due to its rarity, it is a federal category 3c candidate and a BLM sensitive species. Intensive searches, beginning in 1981, have resolved the distribution, abundance, and conservation status of the species. Thirty-six occurrences, consisting of numerous subpopulations, occur within a main range of about 42 x 13 miles, with several disjunct populations lying outside the core of its distribution. Short- and long-term threats have been identified. Any conservation strategy developed to assure the long-term persistence of Picabo milkvetch as a viable evolutionary unit must take into account the decline of the sagebrush-steppe ecosystem on the Snake River Plain. i TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ........................... i TABLE OF CONTENTS ....................... ii LIST OF APPENDICES ...................... ii INTRODUCTION ......................... 1 RESULTS ........................... 1 ASTRAGALUS ONICIFORMIS .................... 2 Taxonomy .......................... 2 Legal or Other Formal Status ................ 2 Description ........................ 3 Distribution ........................ 5 Habitat .......................... 7 Population Biology ..................... 10 Assessment and Management Recommendations ......... 14 REFERENCES .......................... 17 LIST OF APPENDICES Appendix 1 ...

Plants of Hot Springs Valley and Grover Hot Springs State Park Alpine County, California
Plants of Hot Springs Valley and Grover Hot Springs State Park Alpine County, California Compiled by Tim Messick and Ellen Dean This is a checklist of vascular plants that occur in Hot Springs Valley, including most of Grover Hot Springs State Park, in Alpine County, California. Approximately 310 taxa (distinct species, subspecies, and varieties) have been found in this area. How to Use this List Plants are listed alphabetically, by family, within major groups, according to their scientific names. This is standard practice for plant lists, but isn’t the most user-friendly for people who haven’t made a study of plant taxonomy. Identifying species in some of the larger families (e.g. the Sunflowers, Grasses, and Sedges) can become very technical, requiring examination of many plant characteristics under high magnification. But not to despair—many genera and even species of plants in this list become easy to recognize in the field with only a modest level of study or help from knowledgeable friends. Persistence will be rewarded with wonder at the diversity of plant life around us. Those wishing to pursue plant identification a bit further are encouraged to explore books on plants of the Sierra Nevada, and visit CalPhotos (calphotos.berkeley.edu), the Jepson eFlora (ucjeps.berkeley.edu/eflora), and CalFlora (www.calflora.org). The California Native Plant Society (www.cnps.org) promotes conservation of plants and their habitats throughout California and is a great resource for learning and for connecting with other native plant enthusiasts. The Nevada Native Plant Society nvnps.org( ) provides a similar focus on native plants of Nevada.
