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and synonymy at the rank of genus and below follows the 2nd Edition of the Flora of the Pacific Northwest except where superceded by new information.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.

THE WILD CASCADES April - May 1971 2 the WILD CASCADES TRAILBIKES and STUMPS: the PROPOSED MT
THE WILD CASCADES April - May 1971 2 THE WILD CASCADES TRAILBIKES AND STUMPS: THE PROPOSED MT. ST. HELENS RECREATION AREA Having clearcut all the way up to the moraines on three sides of the volcano, the U. S. Forest Service now proposes to designate the ruins as a Mt. St. Helens Recreation Area. At public informational meetings in Vancouver on April 21, the plan was described in detail. As the map shows, the area includes the mountain, Spirit Lake, the St. Helens Lava Caves, and the Mt. Margaret Backcountry. Not much timber — and logging will continue in the Recreation Area, though under the direction of landscape architects (formerly known as logging engineers). Motor ized travel is allowed on most trails, the Hondas and hikers and horsemen all mixed together in one glorious multiple-use muddle. Spirit Lake is no longer a place to commune with spirits, not with water-skiers razzing around. Conservationists at the April 21 meetings criticized the proposal as little more than an attempt to give a touch of sexiness to the miserable and deteriorating status quo. There are recreation areas and recreation areas. (That's what Disneyland is, after all.) This adminis tratively-designated recreation area would be a far cry from, for example, the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, or the proposed Alpine Lakes National Recreation Area, which have (or are proposed to have) a much higher degree of protection — protection guaranteed by Congress. The officials of Gifford Pinchot National Forest are friendly, decent folk, and hopefully are good listeners. If so, their final proposal, to be revealed next fall or winter, and subjected to further commentary at public hearings before adoption, will be considerably enlarged in size of area included and improved in quality of management. -
A Second Annotated Checklist of Vascular Plants in Wells Gray Provincial Park and Vicinity, British Columbia, Canada
A second annotated checklist of vascular plants in Wells Gray Provincial Park and vicinity, British Columbia, Canada Version 1: April, 2011 Curtis R. Björk1 and Trevor Goward2 ENLICHENED CONSULTING LTD. Box 131, Clearwater, BC, V0E 1N0, Canada [email protected], [email protected] Vascular Plants in Wells Gray SUMMARY Wells Gray Provincial Park is a vast wilderness preserve situated in the mountains and highlands of south-central British Columbia. The first major floristic study of the vascular plants of Wells Gray and its vicinity was published in 1965 by Leena Hämet-Ahti, who documented 550 taxa, including a first Canadian record of Carex praeceptorium. The present study contributes nearly 500 additional taxa documented by us between 1976 and 2010 in connection with our personal explorations of the Clearwater Valley. The vascular flora of Wells Gray Park and vicinity now stands at 1046 taxa, including 881 native species and 165 species introduced from Eurasia and other portions of British Columbia. Wells Gray Park is notable both for the presence of numerous taxa (45) at or near the northern limits of their range, as well as for an unexpectedly high number of taxa (43) accorded conservation status by the British Columbia Conservation Data Centre. Antennaria corymbosa has its only known Canadian locality within Wells Gray, while five additional species reported here are known in Canada from fewer than six localities. About a dozen unknown, possibly undescribed taxa have also been detected. Botanical inventory has thus far been confined to the southern portions of Wells Gray. Future studies in northern half of the park will certainly greatly increase our knowledge of the biological diversity safeguarded in this magnificent wilderness preserve. -

Acknowledgements Juliet Rhodes, Diana Hackenburg, and Alexis Monetta entered the data we collected into databases. Juliet Rhodes checked the data to ensure data integrity. The photographs in this report were taken during this project by George Wooten and Peter Morrison. Project Funding This project was funded by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission. 3 Executive Summary Pacific Biodiversity Institute (PBI) conducted a rare plant and vegetation survey of Wenatchee Confluence State Park for the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (WSPRC). Wenatchee Confluence State Park covers 231.08 acres in Chelan County. The park is situated within the northern city limits of Wenatchee along the Columbia River, where it is impounded by the Rock Island Dam. Wenatchee Confluence State Park is a popular camping area and has heavy use by bicyclists and walkers. Trails are both paved and gravel. Wenatchee Confluence State Park was mapped into 22 polygons covered by eight primary plant communities or mapped as developed, disturbed or water. Existing plant communities were characterized within each polygon. Several of the primary plant communities are globally rare, however restoration opportunities are limited in a practical sense to the existing natural area where there is already a wetland and a wildlife restoration project underway. -

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Baseline wildlife and habitat surveys were initiated in 2007 to support a future impact assessment for the redevelopment of two existing, but currently inactive, open pit mines southwest of Kamloops. Detailed Project plans were not available at that time, so the general areas of activity were buffered to define a study area. The two general Project areas at the time were New Afton, an open pit just south of Highway 1, and Ajax, east of Jacko Lake.
