  • Affected Environment/Environmental Consequences
    Travel Management Final Environmental Impact Statement Chapter 3 3.11 Botanical Resources _____________________ 3.11.1 Introduction This section describes the affected environment and environmental consequences for threatened, endangered and sensitive plant species as well as certain Watch List species, collectively referred to in this document as rare plants. It describes the area potentially affected by the alternatives and existing resource conditions within that area. Measurement indicators are used to describe the existing conditions for the SNF. The measurement indicators will be used in the analysis to quantify and describe how well the proposed action and alternatives meet the project objectives and address resource concerns. Of the Forest Service Regions, the Pacific Southwest Region contains the largest assemblage of sensitive plant species in comparison to its land base. Of the more than 6,000 vascular plant species occurring in California, well over half are known to occur on National Forest System (NFS) lands. This is due to topography, geography, geology and soils, climate and vegetation, the same factors that account for the exceptionally high endemic flora of the State. Over 100 plant species are found only on NFS lands in California and nowhere else in the world (Powell 2001). Management of plant and fungi species, habitat and maintenance of a diversity of plant communities, is an important part of the mission of the Forest Service (Resource Planning Act of 1974, National Forest Management Act of 1976). Management activities on NFS lands must be planned and implemented so that they do not jeopardize the continued existence of threatened or endangered species or lead to a trend toward listing or loss of viability of Forest Service Sensitive species.

(August 2010) Anna Mildred Burrell, B.A., Duke University; M.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Alan E. Pepper In the interest of understanding the genetic basis of adaption to environment, we developed F2 lines from an F1 interspecific cross between the rare serpentine endemic, Caulanthus amplexicaulis var. barbarae and the non-serpentine Caulanthus amplexicaulis var. amplexicaulis. Using genomic DNA from Caulanthus amplexicaulis var. barbarae, we developed a suite of microsatellite markers.

  • Seedhunt 2016 List
    Seedhunt 2016 list Times change, prices change. Future lists (starting Oct 2016) will be more limited, with increased emphasis on seeds from plants of California. Seeds offered have, in most cases, been collected from plants grown at my garden in Watsonville, California; some offerings are contributions from friends. The designation CN appears at the end of descriptions of plants native to California . Seed of restios and grasses will be listed after the main section. Email notification of the annual seedlist update is now the standard, with a copy available on seedhunt.com for download. A printed seedlist will be sent to customers who have ordered a minimum of 4 packets of seed, and indicate a preference for a printed copy. Payment for orders can now be made with PayPal. The link for this service is on the How to Order page of the website, or pay to [email protected]. This list, as well as pictures of many of these plants, can always be found online at seedhunt.com . Email inquiries can be sent to [email protected] . There are periodic updates on seeds out of stock to the website listing. The Plantsman's Pocket is the formal name for the seed offerings of a horticultural ally with very diverse plant interests. Inquiries for fern spores and perishable seeds (previously sold here ) should be made directly to the grower at [email protected]. Some specialty seeds are still offered through this list. Sincere thanks go to friends and customers who have ordered over the past years, and to the gardening friends who have shared many plants and their enthusiasms with me.
