  • Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae
    SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOTANY 0 NCTMBER 52 Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae Harold Robinson, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, andJames F. Weedin SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS City of Washington 1981 ABSTRACT Robinson, Harold, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, and James F. Weedin. Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae. Smithsonian Contri- butions to Botany, number 52, 28 pages, 3 tables, 1981.-Chromosome reports are provided for 145 populations, including first reports for 33 species and three genera, Garcilassa, Riencourtia, and Helianthopsis. Chromosome numbers are arranged according to Robinson’s recently broadened concept of the Heliantheae, with citations for 212 of the ca. 265 genera and 32 of the 35 subtribes. Diverse elements, including the Ambrosieae, typical Heliantheae, most Helenieae, the Tegeteae, and genera such as Arnica from the Senecioneae, are seen to share a specialized cytological history involving polyploid ancestry. The authors disagree with one another regarding the point at which such polyploidy occurred and on whether subtribes lacking higher numbers, such as the Galinsoginae, share the polyploid ancestry. Numerous examples of aneuploid decrease, secondary polyploidy, and some secondary aneuploid decreases are cited. The Marshalliinae are considered remote from other subtribes and close to the Inuleae. Evidence from related tribes favors an ultimate base of X = 10 for the Heliantheae and at least the subfamily As teroideae. OFFICIALPUBLICATION DATE is handstamped in a limited number of initial copies and is recorded in the Institution’s annual report, Smithsonian Year.

  • Wyethia Angustifolia (DC.) Nutt
    Wyethia angustifolia (DC.) Nutt. California compassplant Asteraceae - aster family status: State Sensitive rank: G4 / SU General Description: Adapted from Flora of North America (1993+): Taprooted perennial plants 15-60 cm tall. Basal leaf blades dark green, nearly triangular to broadly lanceolate, 15-35 cm long, margins entire or irregularly serrate, upper sides with stiff hairs. Stem leaves alternate. Floral Characteristics: Heads large, radiate, usually solitary (sometimes 2-3). Involucres hemispheric, (1.5) 2-3 cm diameter. Involucral bracts conspicuously ciliate, outer faces hairy. Ray flowers yellow, (8) 12-14; petal 15-25 mm. Disc flowers many, corollas yellow, 5-lobed. Flowers May to July. Fruits: Achenes 7-8 mm, bearing small stiff hairs. Illustration by Jeanne R. Janish, Identification Tips: The genus Balsamorhiza is similar, but ©1959 University of Washington has mostly basal leaves; flowering stems are leafless or have Press a few opposite, strongly reduced leaves. In contrast, the stem leaves of Wyethia are alternate and generally larger. Wyethia amplexicaulis grows on the east side of the Cascades in WA, has hairless or gland-dotted leaf blades, involucral bracts lacking marginal cilia, and hairless achenes. Range: WA, OR, CA, west of the Cascades and historically in the Columbia River Gorge. Habitat/Ecology: Dry or seasonally wet open ground, grassy slopes, meadows, prairies, and openings in oak and pine-oak forests; found at elevations up to 2100 m (6900 ft) throughout photo by Joe Arnett its range. Populations in WA grow in moist or dry native prairie habitats and roadside prairie remnants, at about 65 m (200 ft) elevation. Associated species include tall oatgrass (Arrhenatherum elatius), Roemer's fescue (Festuca roemeri), upland larkspur (Delphinium nuttallii), tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), Queen Anne's lace (Daucus carota), oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), and camas (Camassia quamash).

  • Pollination Needs of Arrowleaf Balsamroot, Balsamorhiza Sagittata (Heliantheae: Asteraceae)
    Western North American Naturalist 65(3), © 2005, pp. 359–364 POLLINATION NEEDS OF ARROWLEAF BALSAMROOT, BALSAMORHIZA SAGITTATA (HELIANTHEAE: ASTERACEAE) James H. Cane1 ABSTRACT.—Arrowleaf balsamroot, Balsamorhiza sagittata (Pursh) Nutt, is a common, sometimes dominant, long- lived forb that flowers early in spring from the foothills to upper-montane areas of the northern Rocky Mountains and Intermountain West. Public land managers desire its seed for rangeland rehabilitation. Through manual pollination field trials, the species was found to have a mixed pollination system. It is primarily xenogamous (46% of ovules yielded plump achenes) but partially self-compatible (31% of achenes were plump). Unvisited flower heads formed virtually no mature achenes; only plump achenes contained seeds with endosperm. Freely visited flower heads in 2 populations pro- duced as many achenes as manual outcross pollinations of flower heads, suggesting that seed production was not polli- nator limited. Two species of Osmia bees rely mostly on Balsamorhiza and its close relative, Wyethia, for pollen. At least 165 females per hectare will need to be stocked to achieve thorough flower visitation in cultivated seed production fields. Key words: Engelmanniinae, Osmia, Apiformes, Apoidea, bees, seed set, self-incompatibility, pollinator limitation. The balsamroots (Balsamorhiza, 14 spp.) and Farming seed crops often requires pollinator mule’s ears (Wyethia, 14 spp.) together form a supplementation. To evaluate pollination needs, monophyletic clade within the subtribe Engel- a plant species’ breeding biology must first be manniinae [largely equivalent to the former understood, but there are no published accounts Ecliptinae (Heliantheae: Asteraceae); Robinson for any species of Balsamorhiza, Wyethia, or 1981, Urbatsch and Jansen 1995, Clevinger any other species of their subtribe except and Panero 2000, Moore and Bohs 2003].

  • 1 Recovery Plan Revision for Gabbro Soil Plants of the Central Sierra
    Recovery Plan Revision for Gabbro Soil Plants of the Central Sierra Nevada Foothills: El Dorado bedstraw (Galium californicum ssp. sierrae) and Pine Hill flannelbush (Fremontodendron californicum ssp. decumbens) Original Approved: August 2002 Original Prepared by: Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office DRAFT AMENDMENT 1 We have identified best available information that indicates the need to amend recovery criteria for this species since the Recovery Plan for Gabbro Soil Plants of the Central Sierra Nevada Foothills (recovery plan) was completed. In this recovery plan modification, we synthesize the adequacy of the existing recovery criteria, show amended recovery criteria, and describe the rationale supporting the proposed recovery plan modification. The proposed criteria amendments are shown as an appendix that supplements the recovery plan, pages III-2 through III-37 of the recovery plan that applies to El Dorado bedstraw and Pine Hill flannelbush. For U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Pacific Southwest Region Sacramento, California December 2018 Approved: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Regional Director, Pacific Southwest Region, Region 8, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Date: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 1 METHODOLOGY USED TO COMPLETE THE RECOVERY PLAN AMENDMENT This draft amendment was prepared by the Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office (SFWO) of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and will be peer reviewed in accordance with the OMB Peer Review Bulletin following the publication of the Notice of Availability. We used information from our files, survey information and monitoring reports spanning various localities of the species, and communication with species experts. Communication with species experts was our primary source to update the species status and threats, and was instrumental in developing amended recovery criteria.
