Box 94409 Sacramento, California 95814-2090 October 28, 1993 FINAL REPORT RESTORATION AND RECOVERY OF MASON'S LILAEOPSIS: PHASE I I. EECUIE SUMMAY Field reconnaissance of the littoral zones of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the Napa River estuary, and greenhouse and genetic studies were initiated to investigate the geographic distribution, ecophysiology, and molecular genetics of Lilaeopsis masonii Mathias & Constance (Mason's Lilaeopsis). The report summarizes briefly the results this research, conducted from June 15, 1992 to October 28, 1993. The geographic distribution of Lilaeopsis masonii has expanded significantly with additional field reconnaissance. As of October 1993, 114 element occurrences are on record in the California Natural Diversity Data Base. Additional new geographic records not yet submitted to the California Natural Diversity Data Base include extensive populations in Suisun Marsh. Greenhouse experiments have demonstrated a significant morphological response of decreasing growth with increasing levels of water salinity, in part, confirming the earlier studies performed by Golden (1992). Seed germination trials demonstrated a strong negative correlation between water salinity and germination success, -- i.e., as salinity levels increased, both total germination success and rapidity of germination decreased. Seeds of Lilaeopsis masonii germinated in salinities of up to 12 parts per thousand, unlike the results of Golden (1992). These results suggest that increased water salinity levels in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta would probably adversely affect growth and establishment of L. masonii. Molecular studies of the ITS2 region of the Lilaeopsis genome did not find any differences among ouaios of L. masonii, nor between L. masonii and L. occidentalis. It is possible that additional molecular analyses may find genetic differences. Many significant populations of Lilaeopsis masonii coiue to be at risk, largely from human disturbance. Documented forms of disturbance include trampling from fishing and other human activities, erosion by wave and wake action, disintegration of pilings, and potentially by sea level rising and water quality degradation. The type locality of L. masonii presently remains overgrown by invasive species and may be threatened by loss of shoreline. Water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) appears to be a serious threat invading the western portion of the range of L. masonii. For Phase II, we suggest that additional molecular genetic studies be implemented for Lilaeopsis masonii and for additional geographically and taxonomically proximate taxa. We believe that performing a molecular technique known as RAPDs is likely to be the most illustrative of intraspecific and intrapopulational genetic differences. We also propose additional field studies involving reciprocal transplants, breeding biology, and plant community analyses. Final L masonii 28 October 1993 TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT OBJECTIVES ILA. uose o oec As part of the legal settlement of the 1988 Shell Oil Refinery spill at Martinez, California, a cooperative agreement was entered involving the Shell Oil Spill Litigation Settlement Trustee Committee, San Francisco State University, and the California Department of Fish and Game. The purpose of the cooperative agreement was to begin the restoration and recovery of Mason's lilaeopsis (Lilaeopsis masonii). Several populations of this state-listed rare plant were oiled during the 1988 oil spill from Shell Oil Company's Martinez refinery, and as part of the settlement, various aspects of the geographic distribution, ecophysiology, and molecular genetics of Mason's lilaeopsis were examined.

Location Worldwide, with an emphasis on South America and Australasia. Methods Divergence times were estimated employing a Bayesian approach (beast) with fossil pollen of basal apioids as calibration points and using a data set of nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (nrDNA ITS) sequences from 284 accessions of Apioideae. Additionally, maximum-likelihood analyses were performed for data subsets comprising Apium, Daucus and Lilaeopsis. For Chaerophyllum, maximum-likelihood and beast analyses were carried out using combined chloroplast DNA and ITS data. Biogeographical scenarios were inferred using diva and lagrange. Results The sister group to Aciphylleae is the Sino-Himalayan Acronema clade and the divergence between these two lineages is dated at 34.8 Ma, whereas the radiation of Aciphylleae started 11.0 Ma.

Hill, L. schaffneriana ssp. recurva FAMILY: Apiaceae AUTHOR, PLACE OF PUBLICATION: A.W. Hill, J. Linn. Soc. Bot. 47: 525-551. 1927. TYPE LOCALITY: Santa Cruz Valley near Tucson, Pima County, Arizona, U.S.A. TYPE SPECIMEN: LT: GH. C.G. Pringle s.n. 19 May 1881. LT: US. ST: NY, GH. TAXONOMIC UNIQUENESS: In the genus Lilaeopsis, the species schaffneriana is 1 of 5 species in North America, and contains only 1 variety recurva. According to Affolter (1985), “The genus Lilaeopsis Greene contains approximately 20 species. It is well developed in the temperate zones of North America, South America, Australia and New Zealand. 6 or 7 species recognized in North America.” According to NatureServe (2003), “The USFWS listed this taxon as Lilaeopsis schaffneriana ssp. recurva (Federal Register, Jan. 6, 1997). As of 11/31/99, L. schaffneriana var. recurva is used in its List of Endangered and Threatened Plants. The latter rank, is also used by Kartesz (1999). However, subspecies seems to be the rank used by Affolter (1985, p. 61), and is accepted in the Gray Index (online, 8/2000).” It is also used by the Missouri Botanical Garden (2003). DESCRIPTION: Herbaceous, semi-aquatic to aquatic perennial with cylindrical, wavy, yellowish green, slender hollow leaves borne individually or in clusters, that grow from the nodes of creeping rhizomes; inconspicuous septa at irregular intervals.
