A CHECKLIST OF THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF THE REDWOOD NATIONAL & STATE PARKS James P. Smith, Jr. Professor Emeritus of Botany Department of Biological Sciences Humboldt State Univerity Arcata, California 14 September 2018 The Redwood National and State Parks are located in Del Norte and Humboldt counties in coastal northwestern California. The national park was F E R N S established in 1968. In 1994, a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation added Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek, Athyriaceae – Lady Fern Family and Jedediah Smith Redwoods state parks to form a single administrative Athyrium filix-femina var. cyclosporum • northwestern lady fern unit. Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line. Almost half of the remaining old growth redwood forests Blechnaceae – Deer Fern Family are protected in these four parks.

This work uses existing phylogenetic metadata to elaborate a new cladistic taxonomic synthesis, and clarifies morphological circumscriptions of several poorly known species. A total of 20 taxa are validated, seven new and 13 necessary nomenclatural recombinations. Hypotheses of Montiaceae historical biogeography and phenotypic evolution are evaluated in light of recent metadata. Key words: Montiaceae, taxonomy, phylogeny, ecology, phylogeography, evolution. 1. Introduction This work presents a new cladistic taxonomy of Montiaceae (Portulacineae) and several of its included taxa, along with notes on the diagnostics of certainly poorly known species and a summary of new interpretations of phylogeography and phenotypic and ecological evolution. The present work includes 20 nomenclatural novelties. However, the whole of the novelty is greater than the sum of these parts. The generic circumscriptions and diversity estimates are modified from Hernández-Ledesma et al. (2015).The suprageneric taxonomy is the first proposed since McNeill (1974) and the only phylogenetic one. Critical reevaluation of certain common and usually misidentified Chilean taxa is the first since Reiche (1898). Existing metadata are interpreted as evidence for a hybrid origin of a genus.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).

    Supplemental methods for: Geographic range dynamics drove hybridization in a lineage of angiosperms 1 1 1 2 1 R.A. FOLK , C.J. VISGER , P.S. SOLTIS , D.E. SOLTIS , R. GURALNICK 1Florida Museum of Natural History 2Biology, University of Florida 3Author for correspondence: [email protected] 1 Sequencing: Sequencing followed previously developed methods1 with the following modifications: library preparation was performed by RAPiD Genomics (Gainesville, FL; using TruSeq-like adapters as in Folk et al. 2015), the targeted insert size was > 200 bp, and sequencing used a 300-cyle (150 bp read) kit for a HiSeq 3000 instrument. The overall outgroup sampling (21 taxa total; Supplementary Table S1) was improved > 5 fold.2 This includes several representatives each of all lineages that have been hypothesized to undergo hybridization in the Heuchera group of genera. For the transcriptomes, reads were assembled against the low-copy nuclear loci from our targeted enrichment experiment, where the targets stripped of intronic sequence but assembly methods otherwise followed a previously developed BWA-based approach1. Transcriptomic reads were also mapped to a Heuchera parviflora var. saurensis chloroplast genome reference1 which was stripped of intronic and intergenic sequence. Assembly methods for target-enriched data followed the BWA-based approach1 directly. In practice, intronic sequence can be recovered from RNAseq data,3 but has consistently lower coverage (pers. obs.); moreover non-coding read dropout can be expected to be high for more divergent outgroups added here. For this reason, only coding reference sequences were used to assemble transcriptomic taxa. For nuclear analyses, reads were assembled with 277 references comprising the gene sequences used for bait design, with intronic sequences stripped.

  • 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. Available online at http://biology.burke.washington.edu/waflora/checklist.php Comments and questions should be addressed to the checklist administrators: David Giblin ([email protected]) Peter Zika ([email protected]) Suggested citation: Weinmann, F., P.F.
