    SRGC ----- Bulb Log Diary ----- Pictures and text © Ian Young BULB LOG 18..................................4th May 2016 Yellow Erythronium grandiflorum and the pure white of Erythronium elegans, growing in the rock garden, are featured on this week’s cover picture. Despite all the extremes that our weather is delivering the flowering of the Erythroniums is at a peak just now. In one of the sand plunge beds a basket of Erythronium hendersonii opens its flowers responding to one of the sunny periods. View across the rock garden bed to one of the sand plunges. Erythronium revolutum hybrids These are two of the Erythronium revolutum hybrids that I lifted for assessment a few years ago. I grew them in pots for a year then transferred them into plunge baskets last summer to allow them more space to increase. They both have well-marked leaves and interesting markings in the flowers so the main thing I am trialling them for is to see how quickly they will increase. Erythronium ‘Joanna’ One of the plants that has suffered a bit in the bad weather is Erythronium ‘Joanna’. The flowers of this group, growing in a plunge basket, have become spotted with some withering at the tips while others planted out under the cover of Rhododendrons are fine. I also notice similar damage on flowers of Erythronium tuloumnense, one of the parents of E. ‘Joanna’. Erythronium ‘Craigton Cover Girl’ There is no doubt that the flowers of some species are more resistent to the cold wet conditions and that resilience is passed on to hybrids. Erythronium ‘Craigton Cover Girl’ has E.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Aaron D. Drew for the degree of Master of Science in Wildlife Science presented on December 19. 2000. Title: Effects of Livestock Grazing and Small Mammal Populations on Endangered Bradshaw's Desert Parsley (Lomatium bradshawii) at Oak Creek. Willamette Valley. Oregon. Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy W. Daniel I evaluated the response of the federally listed endangered plant species Bradshaw's desert parsley (Lomatium bradshawii) to livestock grazing and small mammal depredation at Oak Creek, Linn County, Oregon, 1997-1998. I established six study blocks (three each in wooded and herbaceous pastures) with plots in each block randomly assigned to one of four intensities of livestock grazing based on biomass remaining after grazing (no grazing [1,746 kg/ha], high biomass [969 kg/ha], moderate biomass [670 kg/ha], and light biomass [318 kg/ha]). Small mammals were live-trapped in each of the study blocks pre and post application of the livestock grazing treatments. I mapped and measured 2,807 Bradshaw's desert parsley plants (n1,366 in the wooded and n = 1,441 in the herbaceous pastures) over the two year period to determine changes in schizocarp production, morphological structure (conical surface area and height), population composition (plant stage), survival, emergence of new plants, and effects of small mammal herbivory pre and post application of livestock grazing. Grazing reductions in standing crop biomass appeared to have a positive effect on emergence of new Bradshaw's desert parsley plants, while having no detectible effect on total plant density or survival. Differences in total plant density, survival, schizocarp production, morphological structure, and population composition were related to pasture type.

    Sierra Nevada Framework FEIS Chapter 3

    table of contrents Sierra Nevada Forest Plan Amendment – Part 4.6 4.6. Vascular Plants, Bryophytes, and Fungi4.6. Fungi Introduction Part 3.1 of this chapter describes landscape-scale vegetation patterns. Part 3.2 describes the vegetative structure, function, and composition of old forest ecosystems, while Part 3.3 describes hardwood ecosystems and Part 3.4 describes aquatic, riparian, and meadow ecosystems. This part focuses on botanical diversity in the Sierra Nevada, beginning with an overview of botanical resources and then presenting a more detailed analysis of the rarest elements of the flora, the threatened, endangered, and sensitive (TES) plants. The bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), lichens, and fungi of the Sierra have been little studied in comparison to the vascular flora. In the Pacific Northwest, studies of these groups have received increased attention due to the President’s Northwest Forest Plan. New and valuable scientific data is being revealed, some of which may apply to species in the Sierra Nevada. This section presents an overview of the vascular plant flora, followed by summaries of what is generally known about bryophytes, lichens, and fungi in the Sierra Nevada. Environmental Consequences of the alternatives are only analyzed for the Threatened, Endangered, and Sensitive plants, which include vascular plants, several bryophytes, and one species of lichen. 4.6.1. Vascular plants4.6.1. plants The diversity of topography, geology, and elevation in the Sierra Nevada combine to create a remarkably diverse flora (see Section 3.1 for an overview of landscape patterns and vegetation dynamics in the Sierra Nevada). More than half of the approximately 5,000 native vascular plant species in California occur in the Sierra Nevada, despite the fact that the range contains less than 20 percent of the state’s land base (Shevock 1996).

I would also like to say a big thank you to Len Rhind who has compiled an index to the Bulb log - updating it every year since the very start. Len very generously shares this work with all of us and you can access and download the latest version here- Bulb Log Index Weather wise 2016 has not got off to a very good start in the UK and especially here in the northeast where we have had constant rain for over a week now. The rain has prevented me from getting on with my normal tasks of winter tree pruning along with tidying and mulching the beds before the spring growth emerges. This small setback is trivial compared to the many people who have suffered flooding of both gardens and homes. I do hope that we get a dry period during January so I can achieve the tidy-up and mulching of the beds at least – the tree work can always be done later. Cyclamen coum The persistent rain clouds also bring the gloom at this time of year and we are in almost darkness all the time so it is very difficult to get any pictures taken. It is at times like this that areas near the house with the troughs and bonsai, this week’s cover picture, show their year round decorative qualities.

WILSON Carex Working Group 2250 NW 13 th Street Corvallis Oregon 97330 [email protected] ABSTRACT A Lomatium species is endemic to Red Mountain, an ultramafic habitat island in northern Mendocino Co., California. It has been misidentified as three different species, L. congdonii, L. engelmannii, and L. tracyi , but differs from all of them and is described here as Lomatium kogholiin i Mason & Willie, sp. nov. , the Wailaki Lomatium . When reviewing Lomatium for the Flora of North America project (Flora of North America Editorial Committee 1993-ongoing), we were struck by a series of specimens identified as L. congdonii J.M. Coulter & Rose reported from Red Mountain, Mendocino Co., California (Constance & Weatherwax 2017). This location is far from the known range of L. congdonii, which grows on ultramafic soils in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Lomatium seeds are not well adapted to long-distance dispersal (Marisco & Hellman 2009), so the plants from Red Mountain were unlikely to be L.

The chewed off flower has not gone to waste as it allows me to show again the complexity of the flower structure. It is easy to see the ripe pollen being exposed as the anther dehisces but where are the surfaces of the stigma on which to place it for pollination ? Iris ‘Katharine Hodgkin’ Not surprisingly, especially after a wet year and the mild winter, we have more than one slug in the garden so an Iris ‘Katharine Hodgkin’ flower also suffered the same fate. On the left you can see the floral segment with the anther and filament attached at the base. Iris ‘Katherine Hodgkin’ The other segment of the flower that sits directly on top of the above segment not only forms a cover over the anther but also carries the cunningly disguised stigma. Iris ‘Katharine Hodgkin’ All the parts of the Iris ‘Katharine Hodgkin’ flower. Stigma Elsewhere in the garden the fat flower shoots of other reticulate Iris are pushing upwards.
