NPSO Bulletin Nov 04 Bulletin of the Native Plant Society of Oregon Dedicated to the enjoyment, conservation and study of Oregon’s native plants and habitats VOLUME 37, NO. 10 NOVEMBER 2004 Summer Intern Report The Ecology and Demography of a Rare Woodland Orchid, Cypripedium fasciculatum By Cara Benfield The following is the first in a series of three articles in which NPSO/Institute for Applied Ecology (IAE) interns discuss their activ- ities during the 2004 field season. Interns participated in rare plant monitoring, restoration, floristic surveys, and other research proj- ects conducted by IAE staff throughout Oregon during the past summer. In this article, Cara Benfield discusses our efforts in collabora- tion with the Medford District BLM to evaluate population status and demographic trends in a rare forest-dwelling orchid. For more information on internship opportunities, please contact IAE at [email protected], 541-753-3099 or visit www.appliedeco.org.

However, we lack demographic data for most species, and the data we have are often geographically aggregated. We determined to what extent existing data can be extrapolated to predict pop- ulation performance across larger sets of species and spatial areas. We used 550 matrix models, across 210 species, sourced from the COMPADRE Plant Matrix Database, to model how climate, geographic proximity and phylogeny predicted population performance.

  • Pollination and Comparative Reproductive Success of Lady’S Slipper Orchids Cypripedium Candidum , C
    POLLINATION AND COMPARATIVE REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS OF LADY’S SLIPPER ORCHIDS CYPRIPEDIUM CANDIDUM , C. PARVIFLORUM , AND THEIR HYBRIDS IN SOUTHERN MANITOBA by Melissa Anne Pearn A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Biological Sciences University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright 2012 by Melissa Pearn ABSTRACT I investigated how orchid biology, floral morphology, and diversity of surrounding floral and pollinator communities affected reproductive success and hybridization of Cypripedium candidum and C. parviflorum . Floral dimensions, including pollinator exit routes were smallest in C. candidum , largest in C. parviflorum , with hybrids intermediate and overlapping with both. This pattern was mirrored in the number of insect visitors, fruit set, and seed set. Exit route size seemed to restrict potential pollinators to a subset of visiting insects, which is consistent with reports from other rewardless orchids. Overlap among orchid taxa in morphology, pollinators, flowering phenology, and spatial distribution, may affect the frequency and direction of pollen transfer and hybridization. The composition and abundance of co-flowering rewarding plants seems to be important for maintaining pollinators in orchid populations. Comparisons with orchid fruit set indicated that individual co-flowering species may be facilitators or competitors for pollinator attention, affecting orchid reproductive success. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout my master’s research, I benefited from the help and support of many great people. I am especially grateful to my co-advisors Anne Worley and Bruce Ford, without whom this thesis would not have come to fruition. Their expertise, guidance, support, encouragement, and faith in me were invaluable in helping me reach my goals.

  • Bee-Mediated Pollen Transfer in Two Populations of Cypripedium Montanum Douglas Ex Lindley

Box 282, Kooskia, ID 83539, USA Abstract—The conversion rate of flowers into fruit in C. montanum at two sites over four seasons was 52-85%, unusually high for a food mimic orchid. Comparative measurements of the trap-like labellum of C. montanum showed it was intermediate in size compared to measurements of six other Cypripedium spp. found in North America and China. While visitors to flowers of C. montanum represented three insect orders, at two sites, over four seasons only small- to medium-sized, solitary bees (5-10 mm in length) carried the pollen massulae. Bee-visitation occurred at both sites and began within 24-48 hours following labellum expansion. Female bees in the genus Lasioglossum (Halictidae) were the most common carriers of massulae. However, species of visiting bees differed between sites and years. At both sites the majority of bees entered and escaped from the labellum in less than 180 seconds and there was no significant difference between the times bees spent in the flowers at both sites. At the site on the Eastside Cascades of Central Oregon, there was no correlation between the length and width of a bee and the time it spent escaping from the basal openings.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Cypripedium montanum Douglas ex Lindley (mountain lady’s slipper) is widely distributed in seven western states and provinces. In the Alaska Region of the USDA Forest Service, it is known from a single population on the Tongass National Forest. There are 13 occurrences of the orchid in Alaska and are concentrated in southeast Alaska. The closest population to the Tongass population is located over 200 km away. The NatureServe Global rank for Cypripedium montanum is G4 (apparently secure). The Alaska Natural Heritage Program State rank for this species is S2 (Imperiled). It has been designated as a Sensitive Species in Forest Service Regions 2 (Rocky Mountain), 5 (Pacific Southwest) and 10 (Alaska Region). It is not listed as Threatened or Endangered by the U.S.

  • Plant Species of Conservation Concern Identification Process for the Flathead National Forest's Draft Revised Forest Plan
    Plant Species of Conservation Concern Identification Process for the Flathead National Forest’s Draft Revised Forest Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Statement The 2012 Planning Rule (36 CFR 219) defines a species of conservation concern (SCC) as "a species, other than a federally recognized threatened, endangered, proposed or candidate species, that is known to occur in the plan area and for which the regional forester has determined that the best available scientific information indicates substantial concern about the species’ capability to persist over the long-term in the plan area” (36 CFR 219.9). The Regional Forester identifies SCC as part of the planning process. Direction for identifying SCC are in the Forest Service handbook (FSH) for land management planning (i.e., the planning directives) at FSH 1909.12, chapter 10, section 12.52 and chapter 20, section 21.22a. This document outlines the Northern Region’s approach in identifying plant SCC for the Flathead National Forest’s draft Revised Forest Plan and draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) ( animals are documented separately). This approach is consistent with the 2012 Planning Rule and agency guidance contained in the planning directives. The best available scientific information, including external expert knowledge and information received from the general public, was considered during the development of this list. Step 1. During the assessment phase, the Flathead planning team botanists and other vegetation specialists determined which plant species documented to occur in the planning area met the categories described in items 1A-1H below. This step resulted in the “potential SCC” plant list. The Flathead revision planning team obtained, from the Montana Natural Heritage Program (NHP) and Forest Service Natural Resource Manager (NRM) applications, spatial records of all species documented to occur on National Forest System (NFS) lands within the plan area, and that met at least one category in Step 1 A-H below.

Araya Chochai London, November 2013 2 Abstract Slipper orchids (subfamily Cypripedioideae) comprise five genera; Paphiopedilum, Cypripedium, Phragmipedium, Selenipedium, and Mexipedium. Phylogenetic relationships of the genus Paphiopedilum, were studied using nuclear ribosomal ITS and plastid sequence data. The results confirm that Paphiopedilum is monophyletic and support the division of the genus into three subgenera Parvisepalum, Brachypetalum and Paphiopedilum. Four sections of subgenus Paphiopedilum (Pardalopetalum, Cochlopetalum, Paphiopedilum and Barbata) are recovered with strong support for monophyly, concurring with a recent infrageneric treatment. Section Coryopedilum is also recovered with low bootstrap but high posterior probability values.
