(L-R, Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, Dr. Steve Bryant, Dr. Richard Lewontin, Dr. Steve Jones, Dr. TimEDITOR’S Prout. Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero.

  • Flora Spring Flowering Native Plants of Washington D.C. and Vicinity
    Spring Flowering Native Plants of Washington, D.C. and Vicinity Presentation by Rod Simmons Ford Nature Center March 26, 2011 Spring ephemerals are wildflowers of the deciduous forest that leaf out and bloom in early through mid- spring, are pollinated, and largely disappear before the forest canopy substantially leafs out. Extensive, intermixed colonies of these plants carpet the floor of rich, mesic forests and floodplain forests throughout the region. Turkey Run Park. Photo by R.H. Simmons Photo by R.H.

Simmons Late spring foliage of Rich Cove Forest at Lost Mountain, Washington County, Virginia Photo by G.P. Fleming Photo by R.H. Simmons Spring ephemerals have evolved along with other plants, animals, and microorganisms over millennia, each occupying its special niche, to form the Eastern Deciduous Forest that many of us live in the midst of. Today, many fine remnants of this once-vast forest still remain in our region, but there is also much fragmentation and disturbance, including new threats such as invasive exotic plants and insects.

ISSN 2153 733X ECOLOGICAL CHECKLIST OF THE MISSOURI FLORA FOR FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT DOUGLAS LADD The Nature Conservancy 2800 S. Brentwood Blvd. St. Louis, Missouri 63144 [email protected] JUSTIN R. THOMAS Institute of Botanical Training, LLC 111 County Road 3260 Salem, Missouri 65560 [email protected] ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the 2,961 vascular taxa comprising the flora of Missouri is presented, with conservatism rankings for Floristic Quality Assessment. The list also provides standardized acronyms for each taxon and information on nativity, physiognomy, and wetness ratings. Annotated comments for selected taxa provide taxonomic, floristic, and ecological information, particularly for taxa not recognized in recent treatments of the Missouri flora. Synonymy crosswalks are provided for three references commonly used in Missouri. A discussion of the concept and application of Floristic Quality Assessment is presented. To accurately reflect ecological and taxonomic relationships, new combinations are validated for two distinct taxa, Dichanthelium ashei and D. werneri , and problems in application of infraspecific taxon names within Quercus shumardii are clarified. CONTENTS Introduction Species conservatism and floristic quality Application of Floristic Quality Assessment Checklist: Rationale and methods Nomenclature and taxonomic concepts Synonymy Acronyms Physiognomy, nativity, and wetness Summary of the Missouri flora Conclusion Annotated comments for checklist taxa Acknowledgements Literature Cited Ecological checklist of the Missouri flora Table 1. C values, physiognomy, and common names Table 2. Synonymy crosswalk Table 3.

Natural Heritage Resources of Virginia: Rare Plants. Natural Heritage Technical Report 09-07. Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Division of Natural Heritage, Richmond, Virginia. Unpublished report. April 2009. 62 pages plus appendices. INTRODUCTION The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation's Division of Natural Heritage (DCR-DNH) was established to protect Virginia's Natural Heritage Resources. These Resources are defined in the Virginia Natural Area Preserves Act of 1989 (Section 10.1-209 through 217, Code of Virginia), as the habitat of rare, threatened, and endangered plant and animal species; exemplary natural communities, habitats, and ecosystems; and other natural features of the Commonwealth. DCR-DNH is the state's only comprehensive program for conservation of our natural heritage and includes an intensive statewide biological inventory, field surveys, electronic and manual database management, environmental review capabilities, and natural area protection and stewardship. Through such a comprehensive operation, the Division identifies Natural Heritage Resources which are in need of conservation attention while creating an efficient means of evaluating the impacts of economic growth. To achieve this protection, DCR-DNH maintains lists of the most significant elements of our natural diversity.

Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor, Beryl Simpson, for suggesting that I consider Nama as a possible research organism; for her calm guidance as I navigated classes, teaching obligations, and research; for her patience in my dissertation-writing process; and for her support of my personal and academic endeavors throughout my graduate school years. I would also like to thank my committee members, Bob Jansen, Jose Panero, Don Levin, and Ulrich Mueller, for their encouragement and wisdom. I have learned so much from each of them and am grateful that they have guided me through my graduate career. The past and present members of the Simpson, Jansen, Linder, and Theriot labs have been wonderful friends and colleagues. From teaching me the ropes in lab and helping me to understand phylogenetic analyses, to exploring Austin together and traveling to meetings across the country, each of these people has helped me along the way.

This conclusion is corroborated by molecular phylogenetic analysis (Wurdack, Hoffmann, & Chase (2005).

    Spring 2012 A Publication of the Maryland Native Plant Society Volume 3, Issue 1 Art by Tina ieme Brown White Oak (Quercus alba L.) Beech Family (Fagaceae) Official State Tree of Maryland Tina ieme Brown Letter from the President A Publication of the Dear Members, Maryland Native Plant Society For the first issue of 2012, I’ll give you an overview of the Society’s activities in 2011. We started what we hope will be a tradition, to focus on a single plant group for the entire year. We picked ferns, those ancient, ubiquitous, and hard-to-distinguish species. Ferns were featured in seven field trips, three monthly meetings, and two issues of Marilandica. Dwight Johnson’s Key to the 25 Common Ferns of Maryland proved indispensable throughout the year; it’s available on our website. Members responded enthusiastically, and for 2012 we’re focusing on Oaks. www.mdflora.org Field trips are our core activity. Last year the Society sponsored over 30 field trips, plus a P.O. Box 4877 Silver Spring, MD 20914 field excursion to the Pocono Plateau, and additional field trips at the conference. We thus enabled hundreds of people to experience the deep satisfaction of going outside and paying close CONTACTS attention to what we see. anks to Cris Fleming and Bob Yacovissi, plant lists from many field Membership trips are now posted on the website. Attendance at our meetings and field trips is at an all-time Karyn Molines, [email protected] high. e annual fall conference is a highlight of the year. Our 2011 Conference at LaPlata in Marilandica Editor Charles County focused on Southern Maryland’s rich plant communities and the urgent necessity Carolyn Fulton, [email protected] to protect them from encroaching development.
