Locally, we had some great wildflower walks for California Native Plant Week April 12—19, at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, on the new California Coastal National Monument, at the Point Arena Lighthouse, and on The Sea Ranch. Thanks to Lori Hubbart, Mario Abreu, Lynn Tuft, and Mary Hunter for leading walks. Now we are gearing up for the Annual Wildflower Show—fast becoming one of our favorite activities. Don’t miss it—it’s such a lot of fun. You get to spend as much time as you like staring at each plant, with the name right there and one of our volunteers happy to answer your questions. We will have books, posters, and plants for sale, too. All of CNPS is getting ready for the next Conservation Conference, January 13—17, 2015, at the Doubletree by Hilton in San Jose. There will be more than 22 sessions covering every aspect of native plants of interest to CNPS members, with more than 200 presenters plus posters. We’ll be celebrating CNPS’s 50 th anniversary and 50 years of accomplishment— great reasons to party. You’ll hear more about this, of course, but mark your calendars now. This will be an incredibly exciting, invigorating event! And CNPS is branching out. The Chapter Council meeting CNPS Field Trip at The Sea Ranch, April 19. on May 31 and June 1 in San Ysidro will be in co-hosted by the San Diego Chapter and the new Baja California Chapter, with a couple of great field trips in Baja. Let me know if you are interested in attending. In addition to extending into northern Baja California, CNPS is developing partnerships with sister organizations to address urgent conservation issues. Here are examples of what is going on, thanks largely to great leadership by CNPS Executive Director Dan Gluesenkamp: Jepson Herbarium obtained funding from the National Science Foundation to train CNPS Rare Plant Treasure Hunt volunteers to collect tissue for DNA analysis! These collections will be used to map the deep evolutionary diversity of California, in the process drawing a whole new map of conservation priorities. With the California Lichen Society, CNPS is adding rare lichens to the Online Inventory of Rare Plants! CNPS is partnering with the Center for Plant Conservation, Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, and others to collect seeds from every population of rare plants in California. It is ambitious, unprecedented, will start this summer thanks to a timely contribution from one of our chapter delegates. Please stay tuned for more. CONSERVATION NEWS by Lori Hubbart Sudden Oak Death – SOD Blitz 2014 This year’s Blitz, organized by that indefatigable SOD researcher, Matteo Garbelotto, was held over Easter weekend. It included two training sessions, one in Fort Bragg and one in Gualala, each of which was attended by ten or so people. After the training we went out and collected leaf samples over the next two days. The leaf samples were collected from some new locations this year, as well as some repeat sites from last year. In the primary vector for SOD, California bay laurel MENDOCINO COAST (Umbellularia californica ), only the leaves WILDFLOWER SHOW carry the pathogen.

By Nancy Morin Conspicuous on the coast right now are plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. Most of our genera are pretty easy to recognize. The tall, shrubby yellow flowered plants along roadsides are all non-native: Scotch broom ( Cytisus scoparius ), French broom ( Genista monspessulana ), and gorse ( Ulex europaeus ). Blooming now is an uncommon native species, Thermopsis californica var. californica, false-lupine, a largish non-woody plant with large, palmately lobed, softly hairy leaves and bright yellow flowers. I’ve seen it growing in patches on the Gualala Ridge. We have been incorrectly naming our species Thermopsis macrophylla , which is found only in the Santa Ynez Valley in Santa Barbara County. Also very special is our native, spiny shrub, with deep pink flowers, Pickeringia montana , chaparral pea, the only species in the genus and only found in California and northern Baja California. One group that is harder to keep straight is the lotus or bird’s-foot trefoil group. Our most familiar member, which has many names, including witch’s teeth, persian carpet, harlequin lotus, is now called Hosackia gracilis, but we all learned it as Lotus formosissimus. The most recent Jepson Manual of the Plants of California recognizes three genera in what used to be just Lotus. Interestingly, genetic analysis has suggested that the species native in Europe and Asia, kept in Lotus , are not closely related to the North American species, which have been placed in Acmispon and Hosackia . Hosackia has identifiable, well-developed stipules—these are the two flaps of green tissue at base of each leaf. Acmispon’ s stipules are small dark, glandlike dots or are Hosackia gracilis , harlequin lotus.

  • Acmispon Helleri Notes
    Sorrie, B.A. 2015. Notes on morphology of Acmispon helleri (Fabaceae). Phytoneuron 2015-44. 1–3. Published 15 July 2015. ISSN 2153 733X NOTES ON MORPHOLOGY OF ACMISPON HELLERI (FABACEAE) BRUCE A. SORRIE University of North Carolina Herbarium North Carolina Botanical Garden Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599-3280 ABSTRACT Recent field observations of Acmispon helleri in North Carolina point out a number of discrepancies or omissions regarding published descriptions, including stem color and pubescence, leaflet morphology and vestiture, and corolla color. Degree of foliation strongly corresponds with phenology –– loss of leaves and leaflets over time appears to be common. Acmispon helleri (Britt.) A.A. Heller is the eastern segregate of the western and midwestern A. americanus (Nutt.) Rydb. and is restricted to scattered locations in the piedmont of south-central Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and northeastern Georgia (Weakley 2015). It was formerly placed within Lotus, sometimes as a full species, sometimes as a variety (see Brouillet 2008 and Weakley 2015 for synonymy). Observations of living plants at sites in the lower piedmont of Union County, North Carolina, in 2010 suggest that several morphological characters are at variance with published descriptions. The most detailed description available is that of Wilbur (1963); also very helpful are the illustrations in Chafin (2007). Radford, Ahles, and Bell (1968) followed Wilbur in writing their description. 1. Stem color. Neither Wilbur nor Radford, Ahles, and Bell mention this. In the Union County plants, stems are wholly reddish brown. Branches are green, but often reddish brown basally. 2. Pubescence of stems and branches. Wilbur: stems and branches are "glabrate (especially below) to moderately spreading villous-pubescent." In the Union County plants, stems are sparsely to moderately villous throughout and branches moderately to densely villous.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

The coastal portion occurs along the south and southwestern quarter of the County. Ventura County is bounded by Santa Barbara County on the west, Kern County on the north, Los Angeles County on the east, and the Pacific Ocean generally on the south (Figure 1, General Location Map of Ventura County). Ventura County extends north to 34.9014ºN latitude at the northwest corner of the County. The County extends westward at Rincon Creek to 119.47991ºW longitude, and eastward to 118.63233ºW longitude at the west end of the San Fernando Valley just north of Chatsworth Reservoir. The mainland portion of the County reaches southward to 34.04567ºN latitude between Solromar and Sequit Point west of Malibu. When including Anacapa and San Nicolas Islands, the southernmost extent of the County occurs at 33.21ºN latitude and the westernmost extent at 119.58ºW longitude, on the south side and west sides of San Nicolas Island, respectively. Ventura County occupies 480,996 hectares [ha] (1,188,562 acres [ac]) or 4,810 square kilometers [sq. km] (1,857 sq. miles [mi]), which includes Anacapa and San Nicolas Islands.

  • Phylogeny of the Genus Lotus (Leguminosae, Loteae): Evidence from Nrits Sequences and Morphology
    813 Phylogeny of the genus Lotus (Leguminosae, Loteae): evidence from nrITS sequences and morphology G.V. Degtjareva, T.E. Kramina, D.D. Sokoloff, T.H. Samigullin, C.M. Valiejo-Roman, and A.S. Antonov Abstract: Lotus (120–130 species) is the largest genus of the tribe Loteae. The taxonomy of Lotus is complicated, and a comprehensive taxonomic revision of the genus is needed. We have conducted phylogenetic analyses of Lotus based on nrITS data alone and combined with data on 46 morphological characters. Eighty-one ingroup nrITS accessions represent- ing 71 Lotus species are studied; among them 47 accessions representing 40 species are new. Representatives of all other genera of the tribe Loteae are included in the outgroup (for three genera, nrITS sequences are published for the first time). Forty-two of 71 ingroup species were not included in previous morphological phylogenetic studies. The most important conclusions of the present study are (1) addition of morphological data to the nrITS matrix produces a better resolved phy- logeny of Lotus; (2) previous findings that Dorycnium and Tetragonolobus cannot be separated from Lotus at the generic level are well supported; (3) Lotus creticus should be placed in section Pedrosia rather than in section Lotea; (4) a broad treatment of section Ononidium is unnatural and the section should possibly not be recognized at all; (5) section Heineke- nia is paraphyletic; (6) section Lotus should include Lotus conimbricensis; then the section is monophyletic; (7) a basic chromosome number of x = 6 is an important synapomorphy for the expanded section Lotus; (8) the segregation of Lotus schimperi and allies into section Chamaelotus is well supported; (9) there is an apparent functional correlation be- tween stylodium and keel evolution in Lotus.
