(RTE) Plant Species Inventory Final Report Boundary Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2144) Study No. 17 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered (RTE) Plant Species Inventory Final Report Prepared for Seattle City Light Prepared by Kathryn Beck Beck Botanical Services and Mary Clare Schroeder Tetra Tech March 2009 Correction page to Study 17, RTE Plant Species Inventory, as provided by SCL on February 12, 2009 1) p. 2, third bullet, The Boundary Wildlife Preserve (BWP) (155 acres) and adjoining SCL-owned property (85 acres). Subsequent to completion of the final report, SCL discovered a discrepancy between the description of the study area for the “adjoining SCL-owned parcel” and the area that was surveyed during field studies. The BWP was mapped accurately in the study reports and the entire BWP was surveyed as planned; this discrepancy relates only to the "adjoining SCL-owned property." Terrestrial field crews were working from an incorrect map of the parcel and thus, detailed field surveys took place on only 42 acres of the parcel. Regardless of this error, SCL believes that the conclusions presented in the final study report are still valid. Additionally, the size of the “adjoining SCL-owned parcel” is 88 acres, not 85 acres.

This report describes the field efforts, analyses, and determination of Project effects and represents the completion of the study. 2 STUDY OBJECTIVES The goals of the RTE Plant Study were to determine the presence of RTE plants in the Project area, assess Project effects on these species, and direct management decisions related to RTE plant species. Specific objectives of this study were as follows: • Survey for and identify the RTE plant species occurring in the Project area. • Map the location, distribution, and extent of RTE plant populations. • Identify any threats to existing RTE plant populations (e.g., nearby infestations of invasive non-native species, erosion, herbivory) and their habitats, including potential Project effects. The RTE Plant Study built on a 2005 reconnaissance level survey of RTE plants that was conducted in the Project vicinity to provide baseline information for the Pre-Application Document (PAD). The primary goal of the 2005 RTE survey was to confirm locations of historic and relatively

By the time a paper is published, however, it is already “old news” because the salient results often are presented months or even years earlier at scientific conferences. Such meetings are the perfect venues to discuss ongoing research and “hot” topics and present them to colleagues from around the world. The first and last authors of this report were in the lucky situation to organize symposia about carnivorous plant biology during two major conferences: Simon Poppinga chaired a one-day ses- sion—“Carnivorous plants - Physiology, ecology, and evolution”—on July 6, 2017, as part of the Annual Main Meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology (SEB) in Gothenburg, Sweden.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Wild Species 2010 the GENERAL STATUS of SPECIES in CANADA
    Wild Species 2010 THE GENERAL STATUS OF SPECIES IN CANADA Canadian Endangered Species Conservation Council National General Status Working Group This report is a product from the collaboration of all provincial and territorial governments in Canada, and of the federal government. Canadian Endangered Species Conservation Council (CESCC). 2011. Wild Species 2010: The General Status of Species in Canada. National General Status Working Group: 302 pp. Available in French under title: Espèces sauvages 2010: La situation générale des espèces au Canada. ii Abstract Wild Species 2010 is the third report of the series after 2000 and 2005. The aim of the Wild Species series is to provide an overview on which species occur in Canada, in which provinces, territories or ocean regions they occur, and what is their status. Each species assessed in this report received a rank among the following categories: Extinct (0.2), Extirpated (0.1), At Risk (1), May Be At Risk (2), Sensitive (3), Secure (4), Undetermined (5), Not Assessed (6), Exotic (7) or Accidental (8). In the 2010 report, 11 950 species were assessed. Many taxonomic groups that were first assessed in the previous Wild Species reports were reassessed, such as vascular plants, freshwater mussels, odonates, butterflies, crayfishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Other taxonomic groups are assessed for the first time in the Wild Species 2010 report, namely lichens, mosses, spiders, predaceous diving beetles, ground beetles (including the reassessment of tiger beetles), lady beetles, bumblebees, black flies, horse flies, mosquitoes, and some selected macromoths. The overall results of this report show that the majority of Canada’s wild species are ranked Secure.

  • How to Identify New Brunswick Violets
    How to Identify New Brunswick Violets Sponsored by the New Brunswick Botany Club Introduction : Violets are always exciting to find while walking in the field in early summer. They are so easy to identify as to their genus. However, most people will stop there, because they are not easy to identify at the species level - many minute characteristics must be examined...and they easily form difficult to describe hybrids. Approached in the right mix of adventurousness and humility, sorting out violets can be fun. However, should efforts end in exasperation, just keep in mind that the violets never read the botany books. (Choukas-Bradley 2004). In order to correctly identify violets the following features must be examined : these are stems, leaves and flowers. Above-ground stems are : a) acaulescent (stemless) b) caulescent (stemmed) In acaulescent species the rhizomes or stolons gives rise to a crown of basal leaves and flowers. Care should be taken to assess the position of leaves since some species (i.e. Viola adunca and Viola labradorica - caulescent species) may have very short (less than 1 cm) stems at flowering and may appear acaulescent. Below-ground stems are : a) slender rhizome b) stout rhizome c) taproot Rhizomes are slender (mostly 1 to 3 mm thick) and travel horizontally underground, or stout (mostly 4 to 6 mm thick) and are usually oriented vertically underground - these are the perennials. Annuals have a vertical, fibrous root known as a taproot. To evaluate a slender versus a stout rhizome in the field, just place your thumb and index vertically around the base of a plant, near the soil.

  • 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

  • Purple Meadow Rue, Thalictrum Dasycarpum
    Purple Meadow Rue, Thalictrum dasycarpum Purple Meadow Rue is a delightful native perennial, 2-6 ft. high, that features blue- green lacy foliage (somewhat resembling columbine) and wiry-branched sprays of tiny, white flowers which bloom for 2-3 weeks in early summer (late May-July). The mass effect of the tiny flowers is quite showy! Emerging in loose, large clumps of soft, almost feathery sprays, the flowerheads can be a foot or more long, but have no true petals. Mostly dioecious (male/female flowers on separate plants), the male flowers are more fluffy with numerous yellow, thread-like stamens that droop out and become entangled. The female flowers are pollinated by wind and develop into spindle-shaped seeds that turn brown at maturity. A member of the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae), Purple Meadow Rue has an upright central stem that is unbranched below, but becomes branched above. The stems are usually purplish. The leaves are hairy beneath, alternate and compound: divided into numerous, three-lobed leaflets which become smaller as they ascend the stems. In the wild, Purple Meadow Rue is found in deciduous riparian woods, damp thickets and ravines, and moist prairies. Bees are sometimes attracted to the abundant pollen of the male flowers. However, this plant is not cross-pollinated by insects as the female flowers do not have nectar. There are a select few insect species that feed on this plant, including some aphids and caterpillars of certain moths. White-Tailed Deer browse the foliage sparingly. This species is currently being researched, because its seeds are one of the best sources of thalicarpine, a chemical with cancer-controlling properties.

  • HIGH ALLEGHENY PLATEAU ECOREGIONAL PLAN: FIRST ITERATION Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean
    HIGH ALLEGHENY PLATEAU ECOREGIONAL PLAN: FIRST ITERATION Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean The High Allegheny Plan is a first iteration, a scientific assessment of the ecoregion. As part of the planning process, other aspects of the plan will be developed in future iterations, along with updates to the ecological assessment itself. These include fuller evaluations of threats to the ecoregion, constraints on conservation activities, and implementation strategies. CSS is now developing a standard template for ecoregional plans, which we have applied to the HAL first iteration draft report, distributed in 2002. Some of the HAL results have been edited or updated for this version. Click on the navigation pane to browse the report sections. What is the purpose of the report template? The purpose of creating a standard template for ecoregional plans in the Northeast is twofold: — to compile concise descriptions of methodologies developed and used for ecoregional assessment in the Northeast. These descriptions are meant to meet the needs of planning team members who need authoritative text to include in future plan documents, of science staff who need to respond to questions of methodology, and of program and state directors looking for material for general audience publications. — to create a modular resource whose pieces can be selected, incorporated in various formats, linked to in other documents, and updated easily. How does the template work? Methods are separated from results in this format, and the bulk of our work has gone into the standard methods sections. We have tried to make each methods section stand alone. Every section includes its own citation on the first page.

BACKGROUND and PURPOSE In an effort to encourage the protection of native Maine plants that are naturally reduced or low in number, the State Planning Office has compiled a list of endangered and threatened plants. Of Maine's approximately 1500 native vascular plant species, 155, or about 10%, are included on the Official List of Maine's Plants that are Endangered or Threatened. Of the species on the list, three are also listed at the federal level. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. has des·ignated the Furbish's Lousewort (Pedicularis furbishiae) and Small Whorled Pogonia (lsotria medeoloides) as Endangered species and the Prairie White-fringed Orchid (Platanthera leucophaea) as Threatened. Listing rare plants of a particular state or region is a process rather than an isolated and finite event.
