  • Astragalus Lentiginosus Var. Coachellae
    Evaluating the Biological Conservation Status of the Coachella Valley Milkvetch (Astragalus lentiginosus var. coachellae) Robert J. Meinke, Kelly Amsberry, Rebecca E. Currin, Stephen C. Meyers, and Brian Knaus Native Plant Conservation Program OREGON DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Oregon Department of Agriculture NATIVE PLANT CONSERVATION PROGRAM NATIVE PLANT CONSERVATION PROGRAM and Department of Botany & Plant Pathology Oregon State University, Corvallis October, 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Coachella Valley milkvetch (Astragalus lentiginosus var. coachellae) is a federally-listed endangered taxon, restricted to a highly active sand dune environment near the eastern base of the San Jacinto Mountains in the western Sonoran Desert. A recent assessment confirms that var. coachellae is endemic to the Coachella Valley, and that reported populations from the Desert Center area (disjunct ca. 75 km to the east) actually represent A. lentiginosus var. variabilis. Much of the range of A. lentiginosus var. coachellae overlaps the cities of Palm Springs, Cathedral City, and other nearby communities, where remaining populations are threatened by the effects of urbanization and habitat fragmentation. A Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP; in preparation) is expected to place several of the more significant remaining sites within administratively protected reserve areas located outside the urban core. However, little information has been available that describes the natural history and ecological status of Coachella Valley milkvetch populations, and specific management plans have yet to be developed. The current study (conducted in 2005 and 2006) corroborates earlier reports that var. coachellae exhibits a labile life history correlated with annual precipitation, in which short-lived perennials loosely dominate the less arid, northern end of the range and annuals are more prevalent in the drier south.

    Howell's mariposa lily (Calochortus howellii) THREATENED Flower (left), habit (center), and habitat (right) of Howell's mariposa lily. Photos by Robert Meinke (left and right) and Melissa Carr (center). If downloading images from this website, please credit the photographer. Family Liliaceae Plant description Howell’s mariposa lily is a bulbous perennial, 2-4 dm tall, that bears a single large basal leaf (averaging 30 cm in length). These deep green, somewhat leathery basal leaves are distinctly parallel-veined with rows of hairs on the undersides that correspond to the veins. The broadly cup-shaped, showy flowers have three white to cream-colored petals 2.7-3 cm long, each with a lime green petal spot that is covered with dark purple hairs. The upper portions of the petals have few or no hairs. Each stem usually produces one or two (sometimes three) flowers, which develop into 2-cm-long capsules that remain erect until seeds are released. Plants begin to bloom in mid June and can continue into August under ideal conditions. In most populations, many more vegetative than reproductive plants occur, with only a relatively few mature individuals flowering each year. The number of plants flowering varies greatly among years and is dependent on seasonal conditions. Distinguishing characteristics Howell’s mariposa lily is closely related to Calochortus umpquaensis (Umpqua mariposa lily) and superficially resembles this species. However, the Umpqua mariposa lily has a dark petal spot and pendant capsules averaging 4 cm in length, whereas Howell’s mariposa lily has a lime green petal spot covered with dark hairs and erect capsules averaging 2 cm in length.
