Chapter 1 the California Flora
CHAPTER 1 THE CALIFORNIA FLORA The Californian Floristic Province California is a large state with a complex topography and a great diversity of climates and habitats,resulting in a very large assemblage of plant species that vary in size and include both the world’s largest trees and some of the smallest and most unique plant species. In order to create manageable units for plant investigations, botanists have divided the continental landform into geographic units called floristic provinces. These units reflect the wide variations in natural landscapes and assist botanists in predicting where a given plant might be found. Within the borders of California, there are three floristic provinces, each extending beyond the state’s political boundaries. The California Floristic Province includes the geographi- cal area that contains assemblages of plant species that are more or less characteristic of California and that are best de- veloped in the state.This province includes southwestern Ore- gon and northern Baja California but excludes certain areas of the southeastern California desert regions, as well as the area of the state that is east of the Sierra Nevada–Cascade Range axis (map 1).The flora of the desert areas and those east of the Sierra Nevada crest are best developed outside the state, and therefore, parts of the state of California are not in the Cali- fornia Floristic Province. The Great Basin Floristic Province includes some of the area east of the Sierra Nevada and some regions in the northeastern part of the state, although some botanists consider the latter area to belong to another distinct floristic province, the Columbia Plateau Floristic Province. -

Sawyer, Jr. † Department of Biological Sciences Humboldt State University February 2020 In California, the Klamath-Siskiyou Region includes all or portions of Colusa, Del Norte, Glenn, Humboldt, Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama, and Trinity counties. In Oregon, it includes all or portions of Curry, Douglas, Jackson, and Josephine counties. The region is the home of 215 endemics. No family of vascular plants is endemic here. Kalmiopsis is endemic to Oregon, Howellanthus to California, and Bensoniella to both states. There are 103 taxa restricted to northwestern California; 38 taxa to southwestern Oregon; and 74 taxa endemic to the region in both states. We have excluded taxa that are based on suspect far-out- of-range collections, presumed extinct, or that were otherwise anomalous. -

Sticky Plant Traps Insects to Enhance Indirect Defence
Ecology Letters, (2012) doi: 10.1111/ele.12032 LETTER Sticky plant traps insects to enhance indirect defence Abstract B. A. Krimmel1* and I. S. Pearse2 Plant-provided foods for predatory arthropods such as extrafloral nectar and protein bodies provide indi- rect plant defence by attracting natural enemies of herbivores, enhancing top-down control. Recently, ecol- ogists have also recognised the importance of carrion as a food source for predators. Sticky plants are widespread and often entrap and kill small insects, which we hypothesised would increase predator densi- ties and potentially affect indirect defence. We manipulated the abundance of this entrapped insect carrion on tarweed (Asteraceae: Madia elegans) plants under natural field conditions, and found that carrion augmen- tation increased the abundance of a suite of predators, decreased herbivory and increased plant fitness. We suggest that entrapped insect carrion may function broadly as a plant-provided food for predators on sticky plants. Keywords Enemy free space, glandular trichomes, indirect defense, omnivory, scavenging. Ecology Letters (2012) INTRODUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS Extensive research has characterised the types of plant-provided We experimentally augmented carrion on tarweed (Asteraceae: Madia foods used by predators (W€ackers et al. 2005) such as pollen (Salas- elegans), an annual plant native to CA and OR. We then measured Aguilar & Ehler 1977; Wheeler 2001), extrafloral nectar (Janzen the responses of (1) predator abundance and diversity, (2) herbivore 1966; Bentley 1977; Heil et al. 2001) and protein bodies (Janzen damage and (3) plant lifetime fitness. At our study site, tarweed’s 1966). In addition to these non-prey food sources, carrion has major herbivore is the specialist caterpillar Heliothodes diminutiva recently been proposed as a ubiquitous and important resource for (Grote), which feeds largely on plant reproductive organs (Fig. -
