    Interagency Special Status Species Program Survey of Large Meadow Complexes for Sensitive Bryophyte and Fungal Species in the Northern Willamette National Forest Chris Wagner Willamette National Forest Detroit Ranger District District Botanist October 2011 1 Table of contents Introduction / Project Description……………………………………………………………..3 Sites Surveyed and Survey Results……………………………………………………………..4 Meadows, Information, Results…………………………………………………………………..9 Potential Future Survey Work………………………………………………………………………………14 References……………………………………………………………………………………….….…...15 ATTACHMENT 1: Regional Forester’s Special Status Species List for the Willamette National Forest (Revised 2008)……....................…………..16 2 Introduction Surveys were completed in 2010 and 2011 for large meadow complexes in the northern districts of the Willamette National Forest to determine whether any sensitive species of bryophytes or fungi are present. The type of habitat was also determined to clarify whether the habitat is a wet or dry meadow, bog or fen. Bryophyte identification was begun in 2010 with the first specimens collected and continued on through 2011 when most priority bryophytes were identified. The meadows selected represent the highest probability habitat for wetland bryophytes and fungi on Detroit and Sweet Home Ranger Districts. Some of these meadows may have been surveyed for vascular plant species in the past, but there are many new non-vascular sensitive species on the Willamette NF 2008 sensitive species list (see attachment 1) and additional species being being added to the proposed 2012 Regional Forester’s sensitive species list (unpublished). Meadows surveyed on the Detroit Ranger District included: Tule Lake meadow complex, Twin Meadows, Marion Lake meadow complex, Jo Jo Lake site, Wild Cheat Meadows, Bruno Meadows, Pigeon Prairie Meadow complex and Big Meadows. On the Sweet Home Ranger District Gordon Lake Meadows Complex was surveyed.

  • An Illustrated Key to the Ferns of Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Helen Patricia O'Donahue Pembrook for the Master of Arts (Name) (Degree) Systematic Botany (Major) Date thesis is presented March 8, 1963 Title AN ILLUSTRATED KEY TO THE FERNS OF OREGON Abstract approved IIIII (Major professor) The purpose of the work is to enable students of botany to identify accurately Oregon ferns, both as living plants and as dried speci- mens. Therefore, it provides vegetative keys to the families, genera and species of the ferns (Class FILICINAE) found in Oregon. Correct names have been determined using the latest available information and in accordance with 1961 edition of the International Code of Botan- ical Nomenclature. The synonomy, a description, and original draw- ings of each species and subspecific taxon are included. An illustrated glossary and a technical glossary have been prepared to explain and clarify the descriptive terms used. There is also a bibliography of the literature used in the preparation of the paper. The class FILICINAE is represented in Oregon by 4 families, 20 genera, 45 or 46 species, 4 of which are represented by more than one subspecies or variety. One species, Botrychium pumicola Coville, is endemic. The taxa are distributed as follows: OPHIO- GLOSSACEAE, 2 genera: Botrychium, 7 species, 1 represented by 2 subspecies, 1 by 2 varieties; Ophioglossum, 1 species. POLYPODI- ACEAE, 15 genera: Woodsia., 2 species; Cystopteris, 1 species; Dryopteris, 6 species; Polystichum, 5 species, 1 represented by 2 distinct varieties; Athyrium, 2 species; Asplenium, 2 species; Stru- thiopteris, 1 species; Woodwardia, 1 species; Pitrogramma, 1 spe- cies; Pellaea, 4 species; Cheilanthes, 3 or 4 species; Cryptogramma, 1 species; Adiantum, 2 species; Pteridium, 1 species; Polypodium, 2 species, 1 represented by 2 varieties.

  • Washington Flora Checklist a Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Washington State Hosted by the University of Washington Herbarium
    Washington Flora Checklist A checklist of the Vascular Plants of Washington State Hosted by the University of Washington Herbarium The Washington Flora Checklist aims to be a complete list of the native and naturalized vascular plants of Washington State, with current classifications, nomenclature and synonymy. The checklist currently contains 3,929 terminal taxa (species, subspecies, and varieties). Taxa included in the checklist: * Native taxa whether extant, extirpated, or extinct. * Exotic taxa that are naturalized, escaped from cultivation, or persisting wild. * Waifs (e.g., ballast plants, escaped crop plants) and other scarcely collected exotics. * Interspecific hybrids that are frequent or self-maintaining. * Some unnamed taxa in the process of being described. Family classifications follow APG IV for angiosperms, PPG I (J. Syst. Evol. 54:563?603. 2016.) for pteridophytes, and Christenhusz et al. (Phytotaxa 19:55?70. 2011.) for gymnosperms, with a few exceptions. Nomenclature and synonymy at the rank of genus and below follows the 2nd Edition of the Flora of the Pacific Northwest except where superceded by new information. Accepted names are indicated with blue font; synonyms with black font. Native species and infraspecies are marked with boldface font. Please note: This is a working checklist, continuously updated. Use it at your discretion. Created from the Washington Flora Checklist Database on September 17th, 2018 at 9:47pm PST. Available online at http://biology.burke.washington.edu/waflora/checklist.php Comments and questions should be addressed to the checklist administrators: David Giblin ([email protected]) Peter Zika ([email protected]) Suggested citation: Weinmann, F., P.F.

  • Pellaea Brachyptera (T
    Pellaea brachyptera (T. Moore) Baker Sierra cliffbrake Pteridaceae - maidenhair fern family status: State Sensitive, BLM sensitive, USFS sensitive rank: G4G5 / S2 General Description: A dapted from Flora of North A merica (1993+) and Munz (1970): Evergreen fern; stems stout, compact, ascending, 5-10 mm diameter, with bicolored, needle-shaped scales. Leaves of one type, 8-40 cm long, clustered on the stem. Petioles 4-20 cm long, dark brown or purplish brown, smooth, lustrous, without prominent crosswise grooves. Blade linear-oblong, 2-pinnate, dull grayish green, 4-21 x 1-4 cm, composed of 5-11 linear ultimate segments that are 5-20 mm long, leathery, hairless. Reproductive Characteristics: Margins in the fertile segments strongly rolled backwards, covering greater than 1/2 of the undersurface, concealing the sporangia. Identifiable throughout the year. Identif ication Tips: This species is not in Hitchcock & Cronquist (1 9 7 3 ). Pellaea breweri has petioles with prominent crosswise grooves (articulation lines) near the base of the leaves. The leaves break off easily along these grooves, leaving the compact stems covered with persistent petiole bases. A dditionally, the stem scales of P. breweri are uniformly reddish brown, and the base of the blade is pinnate-pinnatifid with deeply lobed, mitten-shaped pinnae. Range: Northern CA to southwestern O R; disjunct in WA . Habitat/Ecology: A rid sites with little vegetation, including open south-facing and west-facing slopes, in rocky soil, around the bases of boulders, and in sparse coniferous stands. Elevations in WA : 300-1100 m (1100-3500 ft). Associated species include ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderos a), Douglas -fir (Ps eudots uga menzies ii), bitterbrush (Purs hia tridentata), bluebunch wheatgrass (Ps eudoroegneria s picata), Sandberg bluegrass (Poa s ecunda), cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), spring draba (Draba verna), Wallace's spikemoss (Selaginella wallacei), arrowleaf photo by Joe Arnett balsamroot (Bals amorhiza s agittata), rat-tail fescue (Vulpia myuros ) and silky lupine (Lupinus sericeus ).

Many rare and unusual species, hybrids and varieties are being propagated from spores and tested in selected environments for their different degrees of hardiness and ornamental garden value. The primary fern display and test garden is located at, and in conjunction with, The Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden at the Weyerhaeuser Corporate Headquarters, in Federal Way, Washington. Affiliate fern gardens are at the Bainbridge Island Library, Bainbridge Island, Washington; Bellevue Botanical Garden, Bellevue, Washington; Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Birmingham, Alabama; Coastal Maine Botanical Garden, Boothbay, Maine; Dallas Arboretum, Dallas, Texas; Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver, Colorado; Georgia Perimeter College Garden, Decatur, Georgia; Inniswood Metro Gardens, Columbus, Ohio; Lakewold, Tacoma, Washington; Lotusland, Santa Barbara, California; Rotary Gardens, Janesville, Wisconsin; Strybing Arboretum, San Francisco, California; University of California Berkeley Botanical Garden, Berkeley, California; and Whitehall Historic Home and Garden, Louisville, Kentucky.
