Horton RNA covers approximately 1305 acres of eastwardly-facing slopes above the North Fork of the Smith River in extreme northwestern California. The area lies just four miles from the Oregon border and includes portions of Sections 24, 25, and 36 T. 18 N. R. 11 W. (Latitude 41' 55' N., Longitude 124' W.) Elevations range from ca. 600 ft. along the North Fork of the Smith River to slightly over 2400 ft. along the ridgetop south of the Stone Corral site. Terrain is steep and rugged in most of the southern and central portions of the study area, but becomes more gradual in the northern portion (see location map). It is in this northern area that the Darlfngtonia bogs occur (discussed as bog forest in the vegetation section). In addition to the Darlingtonia bogs (Figure 1) the site contains several other vegetation types including dwarf forest, Jeffrey pine woodland, lower dwarf forest, canyon forest, Douglas-fir forest, and two types of riparian vegetation.

  • Inferences Based on ITS Molecular Phylogenetic Analyses
    Korean J. Pl. Taxon. (2011) Vol. 41 No. 3, pp.209-214 The taxonomic status of Angelica purpuraefolia and its allies in Korea : Inferences based on ITS molecular phylogenetic analyses Byoung Yoon Lee1,2*, Myounghai Kwak1, Jeong Eun Han1,3 and Se-Jung Kim1,4 1Wildlife Genetic Resources Center, National Institute of Biological Resources, Incheon 404-170, Korea 2Division of Microorganism, National Institute of Biological Resources, Incheon 404-170, Korea 3Department of Biology, Inha University, Incheon 402-751, Korea 4Genome analyses center, National Instrumentation Center for Environmental Management, Seoul 151-921, Korea (Received 29 August 2011; Revised 08 September 2011; Accepted 13 September 2011) ABSTRACT: The taxonomy of the umbelliferous species Angelica amurensis and its allies was reviewed on the basis of molecular phylogenies derived from sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. Strict consensus of six minimal length 119-step trees derived from equally weighted maximum parsimony analysis of combined nuclear rDNA ITS1 and ITS2 sequences from 29 accessions of Angelica and outgroups indicated that Angelica purpuraefolia, known to be endemic to Korea, is the same species as A. amurensis. Comparisons of sequence pairs across both spacer regions revealed identity or 1-2 bp differences between A. purpuraefolia and A. amurensis. These results indicated that the two taxa are not distinguished taxonomically. Also, nuclear rDNA ITS regions are discussed as potential barcoding loci for identifying Korean Angelica. Keywords: Apiaceae, Angelica purpuraefolia, Angelica amurensis, DNA barcode The Korean endemic Angelica purpuraefolia Chung grows bioactivities have been protected by Korean patent law (Lee in mountainous areas in Gangwondo, Gyeongsangbugdo, and et al., 2005).

We have never had so many problems in fitting the range of plants we have “on our books” into the available space! We always try and keep our lists “democratic” and balanced although at times our prejudices show and one or two groups rise to the top. This year we are offering an unprecedented range of calochortus in a multiplicity of sizes, colours and flower shapes from the charming fairy lanterns of C. albidus through to the spectacular, later-flowering mariposas with upward-facing bowl-shaped flowers in a rich tapestry of shades from canary-yellow through to lilac, lavender and purple. Counterpoised to these flashy dandies we are offering an assortment of choice muscari whose quiet charm, softer colours and Tulipa vvedenskyi Tecophilaea cyanocrocus Violacea persistent flowering make them no less effective in the winter and spring garden. Standouts among this group are the deliciously scented duo, M. muscarimi and M. macrocarpum and the striking and little known tassel-hyacith, M. weissii. While it has its devotees, many gardeners are unaware of the qualities of the large and diverse tribe of “onions”, known as alliums.

    ERYTHRONIUMS IN CULTIVATION © Ian Young ERYTHRONIUMS IN CULTIVATION © Ian Young Erythronium californicum ERYTHRONIUMS IN CULTIVATION © Ian Young Erythronium californicum Erythronium californicum filaments are narrow, ribbon-like with milky white pollen , the flowers are also creamy white with a yellow centre; some forms have dark red zig zag patterns around the centre. Erythronium californicum is another excellent garden plant which is most often seen under the cultivar name of Erythronium ‘White Beauty’ this is readily available. I include ‘White Beauty’ here, rather than under hybrids, as there are no morphological indications that any other species is involved. What makes this form such a good garden plant is its ability to tolerate a wide range of garden types and increase well by division: a healthy well- grown bulb can make two new flowering sized bulbs plus have several smaller offsets every year – it also regularly sets seed. Erythronium ‘White Beauty’ ERYTHRONIUMS IN CULTIVATION © Ian Young Erythronium californicum All forms are free flowering, setting seed most years provided the weather conditions at flowering time are not too cold and wet. Erythronium ‘White Beauty’ has fewer seeds in the capsule compared to other forms; about one third of the number. Erythronium californicum seeds ERYTHRONIUMS IN CULTIVATION © Ian Young Bulb On the left is a group of Erythronium californicum bulbs showing the typical shape – the longer thin ones are younger bulbs still taking themselves down into the ground seeking the best conditions. Most forms will increase by offsets, soon forming clumps – forms such as ‘White Beauty’ form clumps quickly, see below, and are best lifted and divided every three to five years to maintain good flowering.

  • Palouse Forbs for Landscaping
    More Palouse Forbs for Landscaping. by David M. Skinner, Paul Warnick, Bill French, and Mary Fauci November, 2005 The following is an additional list of native forbs which may be found in the Palouse region. These forbs may be less suitable for the landscape because of growth habit, aggressiveness, difficulty in propagating and growing, rarity, or it simply may be that we haven’t yet tried to do anything with them. For a list of Palouse forbs which may be more suitable for landscaping and about which we have more information to share, please see “Characteristics and Uses of Native Palouse Forbs in Landscaping.” Nomenclature used in this document also follows Hitchcock, C. Leo, and Arthur Cronquist. 1973. Flora of the Pacific Northwest. Univ. of Washington Press. Seattle, WA. In order to facilitate searching for a particular species, we have included some common names and alternate scientific names, but this is by no means intended to be a comprehensive source of common names or synonyms. Detailed information on propagation of many native species can be found at <http://nativeplants.for.uidaho.edu/network/search.asp?SearchType=Continental> Agastache urticifolia is probably too large a plant for a small garden. Requires a moist site. Easy to grow from seed. Plants have a minty smell and a very interesting flower. Common names include nettle-leafed giant hyssop, horsemint. Agoseris grandiflora is not a particularly attractive plant, it looks rather like a weed. Short-lived and attracts rodents, which eat the taproot and kill the plants. Easy to grow from seed, which is wind-borne and goes everywhere.

  • Terr–3 Special-Status Plant Populations
    TERR–3 SPECIAL-STATUS PLANT POPULATIONS 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During 2001 and 2002, the review of existing information, agency consultation, vegetation community mapping, and focused special-status plant surveys were completed. Based on California Native Plant Society’s (CNPS) Electronic Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California (CNPS 2001a), CDFG’s Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB; CDFG 2003), USDA-FS Regional Forester’s List of Sensitive Plant and Animal Species for Region 5 (USDA-FS 1998), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Species List (USFWS 2003), and Sierra National Forest (SNF) Sensitive Plant List (Clines 2002), there were 100 special-status plant species initially identified as potentially occurring within the Study Area. Known occurrences of these species were mapped. Vegetation communities were evaluated to locate areas that could potentially support special-status plant species. Each community was determined to have the potential to support at least one special-status plant species. During the spring and summer of 2002, special-status plant surveys were conducted. For each special-status plant species or population identified, a CNDDB form was completed, and photographs were taken. The locations were mapped and incorporated into a confidential GIS database. Vascular plant species observed during surveys were recorded. No state or federally listed special-status plant species were identified during special- status plant surveys. Seven special-status plant species, totaling 60 populations, were identified during surveys. There were 22 populations of Mono Hot Springs evening-primrose (Camissonia sierrae ssp. alticola) identified. Two populations are located near Mammoth Pool, one at Bear Forebay, and the rest are in the Florence Lake area.
