Friends of the Chico State Herbarium October 2020 3 All Things Botanically Related During these challenging mes, the Friends of the Herbarium and the Chico State Herbarium want to provide a way for everyone to virtually escape to the natural world and marvel in it’s wonders. To that end, we are working on launching a series of free virtual presentaons. Our first very successful effort was launched by Dr. Rob Schlising, Professor Emeritus at Chico State University who presented on his current research passion, the biology of Dicentra uniflora (see below). The presentaon was deliv‐ ered via zoom with 40 parcipants joining in. The discussion following the presentaon was engaging and insighul. You can find a link to the presentaon on the Friends website or the Herbarium website.

"Ecology of Some California Buerflies and Their Host Plants." Thursday, October 29, 2020. 7:00 — 8:00 pm (via Zoom) Dr. Miller will provide a brief overview of the history of the study of buerflies in our region, with parcular reference to 19th‐century naturalists. He will highlight the biology, ecology and behavior of representave families and species, in the context of their host‐plant affinies and habitat requirements. He will also discuss on‐ going efforts towards wise stewardship of our buerflies, their host plants and habitats in the Anthropocene. Euphydryas editha on Calyptridium sp.

Holmgren Revised May 1996 HG 506 FOREWORD In the original printing, the purpose of this manual was to serve as a guide for students, amateur botanists and anyone interested in the wildflowers of a rather limited geographic area. The intent was to depict and describe over 400 common, conspicuous or beautiful species. In this revision we have tried to maintain the intent and integrity of the original. Scientific names have been updated in accordance with changes in taxonomic thought since the time of the first printing. Some changes have been incorporated in order to make the manual more user-friendly for the beginner. The species are now organized primarily by floral color. We hope that these changes serve to enhance the enjoyment and usefulness of this long-popular manual. We would also like to thank Larry A. Rupp, Extension Horticulture Specialist, for critical review of the draft and for the cover photo. Linda Allen, Assistant Curator, Intermountain Herbarium Donna H.

  • Jackpine Meadows: Rare Plants and Wildflower Blooms Final Report

    Jackpine Meadows: Rare Plants and Wildflower Blooms Final Report

    Jackpine Meadows: Rare Plants and Wildflower Blooms Final Report (September, 2017) Peter Courtney*, MSc, BSc (in association with the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club) Introduction: We named the study area Jackpine Meadows because it is located on Jackpine Forest Service Road and features several meadows. It is located near the Crystal Mountain Ski Resort in West Kelowna, aligned along the Jackpine Forest Service Road between 1.5 and 4 km from its junction with Glenrosa Road at latitude 49°53'22.50"N longitude 119°42'1.30"W (Figure 1). The study area ranges in elevation between 1170 and 1470 masl; the highest elevation in the area is Mount Last at 1531 masl. The area was first noticed for its spectacular spring blooms of wildflowers. Between 2013 and 2017 members of the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club (CONC) catalogued the vascular flora and found a high diversity of plants. These plants included 4 ‘red-listed’ species defined at risk of being lost (extirpated, endangered or threatened) and 3 ‘blue-listed’ species defined as being of special concern in British Columbia (B.C. Conservation Data Centre). In 2016 CONC found Steer’s head (Dicentra uniflora), a red-listed plant that is rarely found in Canada. Unfortunately the area is very accessible and subject to human disturbance. A preliminary report providing details on this unique flora was produced in 2016 and circulated amongst stakeholders and government agencies to raise awareness. The present report finalizes that earlier report by updating the plant list, by defining specific areas of concern (AOC) within the study area, and including information on land use issues and protection measures.

    55 Mayfield Through 68 Raider Basin

    55. Mayfield 55. Mayfield (Imper 1991b) Location This candidate RNA is on the Lassen National Forest in Siskiyou County. It is approximately 37 air miles (60 km) due E. of Mount Shasta and about 27 miles (43 km) N. of Fall River Mills. The cRNA lies within the Hat Creek Ranger District. Its boundaries include parts of sections 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15 of T40N, R3E MDM (41°19'N., 122°36'W.), USGS Hambone quad (fig. 112). Ecological subsection – Medicine Lake Lava Flows (M261Dh). Target Element Knobcone Pine (Pinus attenuata) Distinctive Features The cRNA, which includes some of the most extensive knobcone pine forest known in the E. portion of its range in California, is located on an extensive lava flow that originates in the Medicine Lake Highlands, 18 miles (29 km) N. The volcanic substrate and the absence of any permanent surface water have contributed to the uniquely depauperate and uniform flora of the area. Figure 112—Mayfield cRNA Rare Plants: No Federally-, State- or Forest Service-listed sensitive plants species are known to occur in the area. On the basis of habitat and range distribution, the following rare species could occur: Calochortus longibarbatus (CNPS List 1B), Orcuttia tenuis (CNPS List 1B), Gratiola heterosepala (CNPS List 1B), Asplenium septentrionale (CNPS List 2), Trillium ovatum ssp. oettingeri (CNPS List 4), and Fritillaria eastwoodiae (CNPS List 1B). Two species endemic to the basalt flows of the Modoc Plateau (not listed by CNPS) are Agastache parvifolia and Penstemon deustus ssp. heterander (Jepson [Hickman 1993]: Penstemon deustus var. pedicellatus). Fauna: The cRNA does not support much wildlife because there is no permanent water source nearby.
