    "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.

We have never had so many problems in fitting the range of plants we have “on our books” into the available space! We always try and keep our lists “democratic” and balanced although at times our prejudices show and one or two groups rise to the top. This year we are offering an unprecedented range of calochortus in a multiplicity of sizes, colours and flower shapes from the charming fairy lanterns of C. albidus through to the spectacular, later-flowering mariposas with upward-facing bowl-shaped flowers in a rich tapestry of shades from canary-yellow through to lilac, lavender and purple. Counterpoised to these flashy dandies we are offering an assortment of choice muscari whose quiet charm, softer colours and Tulipa vvedenskyi Tecophilaea cyanocrocus Violacea persistent flowering make them no less effective in the winter and spring garden. Standouts among this group are the deliciously scented duo, M. muscarimi and M. macrocarpum and the striking and little known tassel-hyacith, M. weissii. While it has its devotees, many gardeners are unaware of the qualities of the large and diverse tribe of “onions”, known as alliums.

  • San Mateo Thornmint (Acanthomintha Duttonii) Restoration Project

    San Mateo Thornmint (Acanthomintha Duttonii) Restoration Project

    San Mateo Thornmint (Acanthomintha duttonii) Restoration Project Status Report, December 2015 Christal Niederer Creekside Center for Earth Observation 27 Bishop Lane Menlo Park, CA 94025 www.creeksidescience.com Executive Summary San Mateo thornmint seeding took place December 2014. Funded through a CitizenInvestor effort spearheaded by the San Mateo County Parks Foundation, 30 square meter plots were seeded with 250 seeds each (7500 seeds total). By May 2015, the total population of thornmint increased from 608 to 1134. The increase, while positive, is smaller than the increase that took place after previous seeding efforts. Plants that did survive, however, were relatively large and robust, probably due to some supplemental irrigation. Space occupied reached its highest amount since the project began. While San Mateo thornmint still persists, and the total population increased in 2015 compared with 2014, numbers have not increased to historic highs, and are below the USFWS-approved goal of 5000 or more individuals. Many believe the current site may no longer be able to support a self- sustaining San Mateo thornmint population because of changed hydrology (a vee ditch on Hillcrest Road likely diverts sheet flow away from the site), invasion of nonnative grasses (possibly a relic from nitrogen inputs from uphill septic tanks), or other factors. In any case, a small, single site is vulnerable to climate change or stochastic events. Additional introductions to San Francisco Water Power and Sewer (aka San Francisco Public Utilities Commission) property continue to stall. With funding from Friends of Edgewood, additional serpentine vertisol sites at Edgewood were mapped and prioritized. In December 2015, the top four sites (including the existing site) received 5000 seeds, for a total of 20,000 seeds.
