A Biographical Index of British and Irish Botanists
L Biographical Index of British and Irish Botanists. TTTEN & BOULGER, A BIOaEAPHICAL INDEX OF BKITISH AND IRISH BOTANISTS. BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF BRITISH AND IRISH BOTANISTS COMPILED BY JAMES BEITTEN, F.L.S. SENIOR ASSISTANT, DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY, BBITISH MUSEUM AKD G. S. BOULGEE, E.L. S., F. G. S. PROFESSOR OF BOTANY, CITY OF LONDON COLLEGE LONDON WEST, NEWMAN & CO 54 HATTON GARDEN 1893 LONDON PRINTED BY WEST, NEWMAN AND HATTON GAEDEN PEEFACE. A FEW words of explanation as to the object and scope of this Index may fitly appear as an introduction to the work. It is intended mainly as a guide to further information, and not as a bibliography or biography. We have been liberal in including all who have in any way contributed to the literature of Botany, who have made scientific collections of plants, or have otherwise assisted directly in the progress of Botany, exclusive of pure Horticulture. We have not, as a rule, included those who were merely patrons of workers, or those known only as contributing small details to a local Flora. Where known, the name is followed by the years of birth and death, which, when uncertain, are marked with a ? or c. [circa) ; or merely approximate dates of "flourishing" are given. Then follows the place and day of bu'th and death, and the place of burial ; a brief indication of social position or occupation, espe- cially in the cases of artisan botanists and of professional collectors; chief university degrees, or other titles or offices held, and dates of election to the Linnean and Eoyal Societies. -
Botanical Survey Report Horseshoe Pond Restoration Project Point Reyes National Seashore Marin County, California
Botanical Survey Report Horseshoe Pond Restoration Project Point Reyes National Seashore Marin County, California Prepared By: Lorraine Parsons Point Reyes National Seashore Division of Natural Resources Management Point Reyes Station, CA 94956 May 17, 2002 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 REGULATORY BACKGROUND The purpose of this report is to provide background information regarding botanical resources within the Horseshoe Pond Restoration Project area (Proposed Project Area). Point Reyes National Seashore (Seashore) is preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Proposed Project. Background information in this report will be used to guide development and assess potential environmental impacts of the Proposed Project. As part of the EA, the Seashore must consider whether the Proposed Project could impact special status plant species, as well as special status wildlife species and other sensitive biological resources such as wetlands and riparian areas. Special status plant species include those that are legally protected under the federal and California Endangered Species Acts (ESA) or other regulations and species that are considered rare by the scientific community. Special status species are defined as: • plants that are listed or proposed for listing as threatened or endangered under the California ESA (Fish and Game Code §2050 et seq.; 14 CCR §670.1 et seq.) and/or the federal ESA (50 CFR 17.11 for animals; various notices in the Federal Register [FR] for proposed species); • plants that are candidates for possible future listing as threatened or endangered under the federal ESA (61 FR 7506 February 28, 1996); • plants that meet the definition of rare or endangered under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (14 CCR §15380) which includes species not found on state or federal endangered species lists; • plants that are designated as “species of concern” (former category 2 candidates for listing) by the U.S. -

Chloris Chilensis 23 (1): 77-83. 2020. NOTAS SOBRE EL GÉNERO AMBROSIA (ASTERACEAE: AMBROSIINAE) EN CHILE NOTES ON THE GENUS AMBROSIA (ASTERACEAE: AMBROSIINAE) IN CHILE Federico Luebert & Nicolás García Herbario EIF, Departamento de Silvicultura y Conservación de la Naturaleza, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile E-mail: [email protected] RESUMEN Se discuten aspectos nomenclaturales y taxonómicos de tres especies de Ambrosia de Chile. Se concluye que el nombre Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. debe ser usado en lugar de A. elatior L.; el nombre A. cumanensis Kunth, en lugar de A. peruviana Willd.; y que el nombre A. tarapacana Phil., debe agregarse al catálogo de la flora de Chile hasta que nuevos estudios se hagan disponibles. El género, así considerado, queda representado en el país por siete especies. Se proporciona una clave para la determinación de las especies de Ambrosia presentes en Chile. Palabras clave: Compositae, nomenclatura, taxonomía. ABSTRACT Nomenclatural and taxonomic aspects of three Ambrosia species present in Chile are discussed. We conclude that the name Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. should be used instead of A. elatior L., the name A. cumanensis Kunth instead of A. peruviana Willd., and the name A. tarapacana Phil. should be added to the catalogue of the Chilean flora until new studies become available. The genus is thus represented in Chile by seven species. A key for the determination of the Chilean species of Ambrosia is provided. Key words: Compositae, Nomenclature, Taxonomy.

Symbios Research & Restoration 2003 111 Growing and Using Native Plants in the Northern Interior of B.C. Anaphalis margaritacea pearly everlasting (continued) Background Information Anaphalis margaritacea can be found north to Alaska, the Yukon and Northwest Territories, east to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, and south to North Carolina, Kentucky, Arizona, New Mexico and California. It is reported to be common throughout B.C. except in the northeast (Douglas et al. 1998). Growth Form: Rhizomatous perennial herb, with few basal leaves, alternate stem leaves light green above, woolly white underneath; flower heads in dense flat-topped clusters, yellowish disk flowers; involucral bracts dry pearly white; mature plant size is 20-90 cm tall (MacKinnon et al. 1992, Douglas 1998). Site Preferences: Moist to dry meadows, rocky slopes, open forest, landings, roadsides and other disturbed sites from low to subalpine elevations, throughout most of B.C. In coastal B.C., it is reported to be shade-intolerant and occupies exposed mineral soil on disturbed sites and water- shedding sites up to the alpine (Klinka et al. 1989). Seed Information Seed Size: Length: 0.97 mm (0.85 - 1.07 mm). Width : 0.32 mm (0.24 - 0.37 mm). Seeds per gram: 24,254 (range: 13,375 - 37,167).

A CHECKLIST OF THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF THE REDWOOD NATIONAL & STATE PARKS James P. Smith, Jr. Professor Emeritus of Botany Department of Biological Sciences Humboldt State Univerity Arcata, California 14 September 2018 The Redwood National and State Parks are located in Del Norte and Humboldt counties in coastal northwestern California. The national park was F E R N S established in 1968. In 1994, a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation added Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek, Athyriaceae – Lady Fern Family and Jedediah Smith Redwoods state parks to form a single administrative Athyrium filix-femina var. cyclosporum • northwestern lady fern unit. Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line. Almost half of the remaining old growth redwood forests Blechnaceae – Deer Fern Family are protected in these four parks. -
Abronia Maritima Nutt. Ex S. Wats
SPECIES Abronia maritima Nutt. ex S. Wats. Family: Nyctaginaceae; NRCS CODE: Gary A. Monroe @ USDA-NRCS PLANTS Database ABMA2 Order: Caryophyllales; Subclass: Caryophyllidae; Class: Magnoliopsida Subspecific taxa None. Synonyms None listed. Common name red sand verbena (CalFlora, USDA PLANTS), sticky sand verbena (CalFlora) Taxonomic relationships Abronia latifolia Eschsch. and A. umbellata Lam. are closely related species (Blancas 2001). Related taxa in region May co-occur with A. latifolia and A. umbellata where distributions overlap. All three occur between Point Arguello, Santa Barbara Co., to Morro Bay in San Luis Obispo Co. (Tilllett 1967). Other CNPS list 4.2, limited distribution. Endemic to California and Baja California. There has been concern that hybridization with the two more widespread, co-occurring species of Abronia together with rapid loss of its coastal dune habitat are making the plants vulnerable to extinction (Blancas 2001). Genetic and morphological studies by Blancas (2001) were consistent with there being a high rate of hybridization with A. umbellata within a few small populations.
