It is threatened by extinction due to the rapid pace of development in this region. This plant is found associated with fluvial and alluvial fan sediments related to streams draining the Transverse (San Gabriel) and Peninsular (San Bernardino and San Jacinto) Mountain Ranges. Known occurrences of Dodecahema are not in active channels but are typically found on nearby stream terraces and alluvial fan surfaces which have been estimated to be the result of 100 year flooding events (M. Meyer, 1994, pers. comm.). Recorded populations are spatially distinct from one another and have shown no areal increase in historic times (M. Meyer, 1994, pers. comm.). Little is understood about this species' method of dispersal; and while seeds can be propagated under greenhouse conditions, the resulting plants produce few seeds. Thus, there is great concern about the future viability of Dodecahema leptoceras (DOLE) as increased alteration of its habitat occurs. -

SYSTEMATICS OF ANTIGONON AND TROPICAL ERIOGONOIDEAE: PHYLOGENY, TAXONOMY, AND INVASION BIOLOGY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Janelle Marie Burke May 2011 © 2011 Janelle Marie Burke SYSTEMATICS OF ANTIGONON AND TROPICAL ERIOGONOIDEAE: PHYLOGENY, TAXONOMY, AND INVASION BIOLOGY Janelle Marie Burke, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 The genera of Polygonaceae have historically been segregated into two subfamilies, Eriogonoideae and Polygonoideae, based on a few key morphological characters. Using ITS, morphology and five chloroplast markers, a phylogeny for Eriogonoideae was reconstructed, with an emphasis on sampling of the tropical genera. Results support the placement of nine of twelve woody, tropical genera within Eriogonoideae, where these genera form a paraphyletic assemblage giving rise to Eriogoneae (Eriogonum and allies). My work corroborates previous phylogenetic studies, and suggests a broader circumscription of Eriogonoideae. Also based on these results, I propose the resurrection of a third subfamily, Symmerioideae, in Polygonaceae, and propose two new tribes, Gymnopodieae and Leptogoneae, in Eriogonoideae. Within the subfamily, the genus Antigonon provides a systematic challenge. Although Antigonon is a small, easily-recognized genus, the boundaries of species within it have never been resolved satisfactorily. A taxonomic treatment for the genus is presented, based on morphology and molecular phylogenetic data from two chloroplast markers (psaI-accD, psbA-trnH ) and one nuclear marker (LFY , 2nd intron). Four species are described, and a new subspecies, Antigonon leptopus subsp. coccineum is proposed. Antigonon leptopus is also known as corallita, a pantropical invasive vine particularly problematic on islands. -
2. Literature Review
2. LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1. Taxonomic treatments Family Polygonaceae was established and published by A. L. Jussieu (1789) in Genera Plantarum. Around 1200 species representing 48 genera are geographically distributed from the tropics to the arctic, although most species are concentrated in the northern temperate region (Heywood 1978; Freeman and Reveal 2005; Sanchez and Kron 2008). Polygonaceae Jussieu commonly known as the Buckwheat, Smartweed or Knotweed family is one of the complex group among the class Magnoliopsida regarding its identification. The family name was derived from Greek word “Polygonon”, “Polys” meaning many and “gonon” meaning Knee referring to the prominent nodes of many species (Komarov 1970). Bentham and Hooker (1880) placed Polygonaceae Jussieu in their classification as follows: Kingdom: Phanerogamia Class: Dicotyledonae Sub class: Monochlamydae Series: Curvembryae Family: Polygonaceae Cronquist (1981) placed Polygonaceae in his classification as follows: Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Sub class: Caryophyllidae Order: Polygonales Family: Polygonaceae 11 Takhtajan (1997) placed Polygonaceae in his classification as follows: Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Subclass: Caryophyllidae Order: Polygonales Family: Polygonaceae APG IV (2016) placed Polygonaceae in the classification as follows Kingdom: Plantae Clade: Core Eudicots Clade: Superasterids Superorder: Asterids Order: Caryophyllales Family: Polygonaceae Type genus: Polygonum Linnaeus 2.2. General characteristics Polygonaceae is a very complex family due it’s most diverse and peculiar morphological features. Members of the Polygonaceae are showing variable habit range from annual or perennial herbs, shrubs to lianas and some trees. The most distinctive feature of the family is the presence of membranous or hyaline sheath uniting the stipules (except Antigonon Endl., Eriogonum Michx. etc). Leaves are simple usually alternate but in some cases they can be opposite (Pterostegia Fisch. -
Final Redacted Station Botany Assessment

Author Duty Station: Angeles, Sierra National Forest, PSW Research Station and the San Bernardino National Forest. Thickleaf yerba santa resprouting after a fire. (photo by Stoughton) I. SUMMARY The Station Fire started on August 26, 2009 and burned 161,188 acres. It is the largest fire in the recorded history of Los Angeles County. Until now, the largest fire was 75,000 acres. There are approximately 37 cities that surround the fire perimeter. The fire area is extremely steep, inaccessible and it supports some important and unique habitats. There is occupied and potential habitat for one federal endangered plant species and eleven Forest Service Sensitive plant species. Thirty seven plant communities were burned or impacted by suppression activities. Some of these habitats and species are at risk to further losses. For example, disturbances/degradation from postfire impacts of sediment and ash delivery will result in loss of water quality, scouring of riparian systems and loss of wildlife habitat at natural springs and spring developments due to sediment delivery and erosion. In addition, vegetation community Page 1 of 24 recovery is at risk for delayed recovery due to invasive species and illegal Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) activity. Summary of Initial Concerns o Invasive species spread (see Specialist Report for Noxious Weeds and Nonnative invasive plant species). -
