    United States Department of Agriculture Selected Wildflowers Forest Service of the Modoc National Forest An introduction to the flora of the Modoc Plateau U.S. Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region i Cover image: Spotted Mission-Bells (Fritillaria atropurpurea) ii Selected Wildflowers of the Modoc National Forest Selected Wildflowers of the Modoc National Forest Modoc National Forest, Pacific Southwest Region U.S. Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region iii Introduction Dear Visitor, e in the Modoc National Forest Botany program thank you for your interest in Wour local flora. This booklet was prepared with funds from the Forest Service Celebrating Wildflowers program, whose goals are to serve our nation by introducing the American public to the aesthetic, recreational, biological, ecological, medicinal, and economic values of our native botanical resources. By becoming more thoroughly acquainted with local plants and their multiple values, we hope to consequently in- crease awareness and understanding of the Forest Service’s management undertakings regarding plants, including our rare plant conservation programs, invasive plant man- agement programs, native plant materials programs, and botanical research initiatives. This booklet is a trial booklet whose purpose, as part of the Celebrating Wildflowers program (as above explained), is to increase awareness of local plants. The Modoc NF Botany program earnestly welcomes your feedback; whether you found the book help- ful or not, if there were too many plants represented or too few, if the information was useful to you or if there is more useful information that could be added, or any other comments or concerns. Thank you. Forest J. R. Gauna Asst.

    RESOLVING THE ANOMALY OF LOMATIUM ANOMALUM: DISCOVERY OF A NEW SPECIES IN SOUTHWESTERN IDAHO (U.S.A.), LOMATIUM ANDRUSIANUM (APIACEAE) Mckayla Stevens, Donald H. Mansfield James F. Smith The College of Idaho Boise State University 2112 Cleveland Blvd. 1910 W. University Drive Caldwell, Idaho 83605, U.S.A. Boise, Idaho 83725, U.S.A. Mary Ann E. Feist University of Wisconsin-Madison 430 Lincoln Drive Madison, Wisconsin 53706, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Apparent polyphyly within the unresolved clade of Lomatium (Apiaceae) containing L. triternatum, L. anomalum, L. thompsonii, and L. pack- ardiae suggests conflict among current taxonomic classification schemes. To recover this clade and more clearly define species boundaries, we examined populations of L. anomalum from three geographic regions in Idaho and adjacent Oregon. Using phylogenetic, morphological, and ecological data, we conclude that the L. anomalum complex currently circumscribes multiple species. Phylogenetic analysis of the nuclear ribosomal ITS and ETS, and cpDNA rpl32-trnLUAG, rps-16 intron, trnD-trnT, ndhA intron, and psbA-trnH recovered populations from the Boise foothills as a distinct, monophyletic clade. Principal Components Analysis of 30 reproductive and vegetative characters show two distinct groups: one of Boise foothills and one of the combined Mann Creek and Camas Prairie vicinities. Principal Components Analysis of 16 soil characteristics show that soils occupied by Boise foothills populations are distinct from those occupied by Mann Creek and Camas Prairie populations. Based on phylogenetic, morphometric, and ecologic criteria, populations of what had been considered L. anomalum from the Boise foothills and vicinity are here described as a new species—Lomatium andrusianum.

  • SRGC BULB LOG DIARY---Pictures and Text © Ian Young
    SRGC ----- Bulb Log Diary ----- Pictures and text © Ian Young BULB LOG 18……………………………….6th May 2009 Tulips and Ipheion I am very pleased with the way that the tulips are looking in the narrow bed at the base of a south facing wall. They seem to be settling in so well that I think I will plant more outside this summer. I have a number of pots of tulips in the Frit house, (see bulb log 16) where they are also growing well but the stems are at least twice the height of those outside. I think the plan will be to plant most of them out and just keep a bulb or two under glass as an insurance against outside losses. Narcissus abscissus Narcissus nevadensis Also growing well outside are these two Narcissus raised from SRGC seed many years ago and I think I have the correct names for them. Both are very elegant trumpet daffodils. As they do not seem to be dividing at any rate I am hoping for a good seed set to help me increase my stock. Erythronium and Pond Sadly the peak flowering of the Erythroniums is over for another year but there are still a number of late flowering forms and species with flowers on. Looking across the bed at the top of the garden where I have been letting the Erythroniums naturalise under the larger Rhododendrons I am hopeful of a better seed set than I had last year when the weather at flowering time was terrible resulting in virtually no seeds. It has not been that good every day this year but at least the temperature was moderately better and I am watching carefully for signs of the seed pods turning upright and fattening.

  • Gentner's Fritillary
    Gentner’s Fritillary The Discovery and Protection of a Rare Species Georgie Robinett Freedom Plaza 5524, 13373 Plaza del Rio Blvd., Peoria, AZ 85381 are plants are often accidentally discovered. Sometimes amateurs Rfind them. Fritillaria gentneri was first noticed in the spring of 1942, while 18-year-old Laura Gentner was pursuing one of her favorite pastimes, bicycling the back roads of Jackson County. Her bicycle gave her an excellent vantage point for admiring the wildflowers she sometimes collected for her parents’ garden in Med- ford. From this trip, however, she brought home a fritillary unlike the two she was accustomed to seeing on her wildflower jaunts, Fritillaria recurva and F. affinis (historically also known as F. lanceolata). The following spring Laura could not find the new fritillary again. However, the year after that (1944), Laura’s sister Kath- erine recognized it in a bouquet of wild- flowers a friend had picked. Before long, the source was traced to a location south of the town of Jacksonville, about seven miles away. Laura and Katherine’s father, Dr. Louis G. Gentner, was an entomologist who had imbued his family with a deep interest in natural history. His wife Lillian was a horticulturist, and the family en- thusiastically investigated the flora and fauna of Jackson and Josephine counties. Their excitement in discovering what might be a new, undescribed wildflower can be imagined. Dr. Gentner, the Assistant Superin- tendent for the Southern Oregon Branch Fritillaria gentneri: 1, flowering stalk; 2, cross-section of flower; 3, pistil; 4, capsule; 5, outer perianth Experiment Station in Medford, was a segment, face view.

    Proceedings of a Conference on Native Plant Restoration and Management on Public Lands in the Pacific Northwest: Rare Plants, Invasive Species and Ecosystem Management LaSells Stewart Center, Oregon State University Corvallis, Oregon Feb. 11-13, 2003 Edited and compiled by Thomas N. Kaye, Melanie Gisler, and Rob Fiegener A symposium co-sponsored by: USDI Bureau of Land Management, Institute for Applied Ecology, USDA Forest Service, Native Plant Society of Oregon Proceedings of a Conference on Native Plant Restoration and Management on Public Lands in the Pacific Northwest: Rare Plants, Invasive Species, and Ecosystem Management , Corvallis, Oregon, Feb. 11-13, 2003 Preface: Native plant conservation is a multi-disciplinary field and its success requires an integrated approach. Plant restoration and management on public lands in the Pacific Northwest face many challenges but also present opportunities for cooperative projects, research, on-the- ground action, and community outreach. On February 11-13, 2003, 300 people joined together for a symposium on native plant management in the Pacific Northwest to share information and discuss experiences. Topics covered rare and endangered species conservation and reintroduction, invasive plants, species and habitat restoration, ecosystems, and policy. The meeting featured talks by experts in these fields, and the audience included biologists, land managers, non-profit organizations, and the general public. Michael Way, a member of the International Team for the Millennium Seed Bank Project from the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, was our keynote speaker. Mr. Way is the International Coordinator for the Americas and is responsible for the development of seed conservation projects with partners in Mexico, Chile, and the USA.
