(Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA’s TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TTY). To file a complaint of discrimination, write to USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410 or call (800) 795-3272 (voice) or (202) 720-6382 (TTY).

Ericameria nauseosa) Sunflower family (Asteraceae) Green and rubber rabbitbrush are native shrubs that grow Some species are widespread geographically, and some are widely across western U.S. rangelands. Though they can restricted to a limited area. The specific rabbitbrush species appear as a weedy monoculture (especially following of concern should always be known before proceeding with disturbance), they are early colonizers and their presence management. -

University of Nevada, Reno Habitat preferences, intraspecific variation, and restoration of a rare soil specialist in northern Nevada A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Natural Resources and Environmental Science by Jamey D. McClinton Dr. Elizabeth A. Leger/Thesis Advisor December, 2019 Copyright by Jamey D. McClinton 2019 All Rights Reserved We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by Jamey D. McClinton Entitled Habitat preferences, intraspecific variation, and restoration of a rare soil specialist in northern Nevada be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Elizabeth Leger, Ph.D., Advisor Paul Verburg, Ph.D., Committee member Thomas Parchman, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December-2019 i Abstract Edaphic specialization in plants is associated with the development of novel adaptations that frequently lead to speciation, causing unique edaphic environments to be associated with rare and endemic plant species worldwide. These species contribute significantly to global biodiversity, but are especially vulnerable to disturbance and climate change because of their inherently patchy distributions and locally adapted populations. Successful conservation of these species depends upon understanding their habitat requirements and the amounts and distributions of genetic and phenotypic diversity among populations. Little is known about the habitat requirements or -

Dye Plant of the Month: Rabbitbrush, Rubber Rabbitbrush, Chamisa (Ericameria Nauseosa, Formerly Chrysothamnus Nauseosus)
Dye Plant of the Month: Rabbitbrush, rubber rabbitbrush, chamisa (Ericameria nauseosa, formerly Chrysothamnus nauseosus) Plant Family: Asteraceae (Compositae) Description: Perennial; rounded shrubs or subshrubs, 12 – 90” tall, with yellow flower clusters in late summer – early fall. When crushed, gives off a foul-smelling odor. Origin and Current Range: Native to western half of U.S. and Canada. Found in most counties in Colorado. Habitat: Full sun; dry, sandy, gravelly, or heavy clayey and alkali soils. Often found on poorly managed rangelands, in disturbed areas along roadways and on abandoned agricultural land. Reproduction and Cultivation: Reproduces from seeds and root sprouts. Can be pruned back to several inches in spring to improve its ornamental value. Dye Color and Parts Used for Dye: Yellow dyes produced from flower clusters and twigs in wool mordanted with alum. Other Information: Flowers and stems used by the Navajo and Zuñi as a dye source; the stems also used to make baskets. Useful as forage for wildlife, especially during winter months when the chemical compounds in the plants are less potent. First plant to be tested during WW I and again during WWII as a source of rubber. Possible source of bio-fuel. Gaining popularity as a xeriscaping shrub. References: 1. Bliss, Anne. 1976.

Asters of Yesteryear (Updated April 2018)
Asters of Yesteryear (Updated April 2018) About this Update: The document was originally posted in a shorter version, to accompany the brief article "Where Have all our Asters Gone?" in the Fall 2017 issue of Sego Lily. In that version it consisted simply of photos of a number of plants that had at some time been included in Aster but that no longer are, as per Flora of North America. In this version I have added names to the photos to indicate how they have changed since their original publication: Date and original name as published (Basionym) IF name used in Intermountain Flora (1994) UF name used in A Utah Flora (1983-2016) FNA name used in Flora of North America (2006) I have also added tables to show the renaming of two groups of species in the Astereae tribe as organized in Intermountain Flora. Color coding shows how splitting of the major genera largely follows fault lines already in place No color Renamed Bright Green Conserved Various Natural groupings $ Plant not in Utah It is noteworthy how few species retain the names used in 1994, but also how the renaming often follows patterns already observed. Asters of Yesteryear (Updated April 2018) Here are larger photos (16 inches wide or tall at normal screen resolution of 72 dpi) of the plants shown in Sego Lily of Fall 2017, arranged by date of original publication. None of them (except Aster amellus on this page) are now regarded as true asters – but they all were at one stage in their history. Now all are in different genera, most of them using names that were published over 100 years ago. -
Report of the Intermountain Native Plants Cooperative
Report of the Intermountain Native Plants Cooperative Volume 1 December 2009 An annual report of research and extension activities for members of WERA-1013, Intermountain Regional Evaluation and Introduction of Native Plants Report of the Intermountain Native Plants Cooperative Number 1 – December 2009 Forward The Intermountain Native Plants Cooperative, initiated in 2007, is a group of researchers who share an interest in utilizing native plants in arid urban landscapes, sharing research-based information, and exchanging superior germplasm. All are members of WERA-1013, Intermountain Regional Evaluation and Introduction of Native Plants, an officially recognized Western Education/Extension and Research Activity. The Report of the Intermountain Native Plants Cooperative is published annually and contains announcements of studies in progress by members and updates of germplasm evaluations. Some of the various research reports include work on such diverse topics as the selection criteria of native plants for urban landscapes, sexual and asexual propagation techniques of unique plants, native plant breeding techniques, native plant genetic diversity studies, evaluations on weediness of native plants in the urban landscapes and many other native plant related studies. Cover: The photo on the cover was taken by Mikel R. Stevens and is of Penstemon petiolatus Brandegee in the Mojave Desert of Washington Co. Utah.
