Historic Plant Collections from Griffith Park, a PDF File APPENDIX II Historic Plant Collections from Griffith Park CONSORTIUM HERBARIUM RECORDS The Consortium of California Herbaria was developed to serve as a gateway to information from California vascular plant specimens that are housed in herbaria throughout the state. The database now includes information from more than 847,000 specimens, all searchable through a single interface. Originally developed around botanical collections from University of California herbaria, the consortium continues to grow as more collections are added. Currently, twelve collections are accessible through this interface. The participating institutions cooperate under the guidelines of a Memorandum of Understanding. Participation as a data provider to the Consortium database is open to California herbaria that meet these Minimum Requirements for data inclusion. The data included in this database are a snapshot of the California vascular plant collections at partner institutions. More recent data may be available through the individual herbaria. The collections listed below show an interesting cross-section of both rare and common plant species, include a range of botanical collectors from virtually unknown hobbyists, to Park staff and world-renowned botanists, and illustrate a long history of botanical interest in the Griffith Park area.

  • California's Native Ferns
    CALIFORNIA’S NATIVE FERNS A survey of our most common ferns and fern relatives Native ferns come in many sizes and live in many habitats • Besides living in shady woodlands and forests, ferns occur in ponds, by streams, in vernal pools, in rock outcrops, and even in desert mountains • Ferns are identified by producing fiddleheads, the new coiled up fronds, in spring, and • Spring from underground stems called rhizomes, and • Produce spores on the backside of fronds in spore sacs, arranged in clusters called sori (singular sorus) Although ferns belong to families just like other plants, the families are often difficult to identify • Families include the brake-fern family (Pteridaceae), the polypody family (Polypodiaceae), the wood fern family (Dryopteridaceae), the blechnum fern family (Blechnaceae), and several others • We’ll study ferns according to their habitat, starting with species that live in shaded places, then moving on to rock ferns, and finally water ferns Ferns from moist shade such as redwood forests are sometimes evergreen, but also often winter dormant. Here you see the evergreen sword fern Polystichum munitum Note that sword fern has once-divided fronds. Other features include swordlike pinnae and round sori Sword fern forms a handsome coarse ground cover under redwoods and other coastal conifers A sword fern relative, Dudley’s shield fern (Polystichum dudleyi) differs by having twice-divided pinnae. Details of the sori are similar to sword fern Deer fern, Blechnum spicant, is a smaller fern than sword fern, living in constantly moist habitats Deer fern is identified by having separate and different looking sterile fronds and fertile fronds as seen in the previous image.

Fraga ABSTRACT: We present an annotated catalogue of the vascular flora of the upper Santa Ana River watershed, in the southern San Bernardino Mountains, in southern California. The catalogue is based on a floristic study, undertaken from 2008 to 2010. Approximately 65 team days were spent in the field and over 5,000 collections were made over the course of the study. The study area is ca. 155 km2 in area (40,000 ac) and ranges in elevation from 1402 m to 3033 m. The study area is botanically diverse with more than 750 taxa documented, including 56 taxa of conservation concern and 81 non-native taxa. Vegetation and habitat types in the area include chaparral, evergreen oak forest and woodland, riparian forest, coniferous forest, montane meadow, and pebble plain habitats.

Names and affiliations of PIs: Rachel Vannette, Department of Entomology and Nematology, UC Davis David Fujino, California Center for Urban Horticulture 3. Accomplishments to date: Below, we summarize accomplishments to date based on our 2 objectives outlined in the proposal: Part 1: Assessment of plant traits and floral visitation using established cultivars Existing plants in the arboretum were chosen with representation from 7 cultivar types (Fig 1). Plants were GPS-located and marked. Data on plant and floral traits including flowering phenology, corolla size, floral density, nectar volume, microbial load and plant size were recorded for each focal plant. Data were recorded and are being analyzed. Visitation observations were taken. Insect collections were also taken for a subset of plants as available. Insects are being sorted and curated for identification.

  • Vestured Pits in Wood of Onagraceae: Correlations with Ecology, Habit, and Phylogeny1
    VESTURED PITS IN WOOD OF Sherwin Carlquist2 and Peter H. Raven3 ONAGRACEAE: CORRELATIONS WITH ECOLOGY, HABIT, AND PHYLOGENY1 ABSTRACT All Onagraceae for which data are available have vestured pits on vessel-to-vessel pit pairs. Vestures may also be present in some species on the vessel side of vessel-to-ray pit pairs. Herbaceous Onagraceae do not have fewer vestures, although woods with lower density (Circaea L. and Oenothera L.) have fewer vestures. Some Onagraceae from drier areas tend to have smaller vessel pits, and on that account may have fewer vestures (Epilobium L. and Megacorax S. Gonz´alez & W. L. Wagner). Pit apertures as seen on the lumen side of vessel walls are elliptical, occasionally oval, throughout the family. Vestures are predominantly attached to pit aperture margins. As seen from the outer surfaces of vessels, vestures may extend across the pit cavities. Vestures are usually absent or smaller on the distal portions of pit borders (except for Ludwigia L., which grows consistently in wet areas). Distinctive vesture patterns were observed in the several species of Lopezia Cav. and in Xylonagra Donn. Sm. & Rose. Vestures spread onto the lumen-facing vessel walls of Ludwigia octovalvis (Jacq.) P. H. Raven. Although the genera are presented here in the sequence of a recent molecular phylogeny of Onagraceae, ecology and growth forms are more important than evolutionary relationships with respect to abundance, degree of grouping, and morphology of vestured pits. Designation of vesture types is not warranted based on the distribution of named types in Onagraceae and descriptive adjectives seem more useful, although more data on vesturing in the family are needed before patterns of diversity and their extent can be fully ascertained.

DSC). Prepared by: Daniel S. Cooper Cooper Ecological Monitoring, Inc. October 2010 1 Part I. Summary of Findings Part II (species accounts) begins after p. 26. We present information on extant occurrences of 15 special-status species, subspecies and/or varieties of vascular plants in Griffith Park and contiguous open space, including three for which no known local specimen existed prior to this study: slender mariposa-lily (Calochortus clavatus var. gracilis; CNPS 1B.2), Humboldt lily (Lilium humboldtii var. ocellatum; CNPS 4.2), and Hubby's phacelia (Phacelia hubbyi; CNPS 4.2). Using lists developed by local botanists, we document - from specimens or digital photographs - extant occurrences of nearly 40 additional plant taxa felt to be of conservation concern in the eastern Santa Monica Mountains, including 16 for which no prior specimen existed for the park or surrounding open space. We also identify several dozen taxa known from the specimen record but unconfirmed in the park in recent years. From this information, we discuss patterns of occurrence of rare plants in the park, drawing attention to "hotspots" for rare species diversity, such as Spring Canyon and Royce Canyon, and identify areas, particularly in the northeastern corner of the park and along the southeastern border, where rare plants are relatively poorly represented in the landscape.

  • Adiantum Viridimontanum, Aspidotis Densa, Minuartia Marcescens, and Symphyotrichum Rhiannon: Additional Serpentine Endemics from Eastern North America
    Soil and Biota of Serpentine: A World View 2009 Northeastern Naturalist 16(Special Issue 5):111–120 Adiantum viridimontanum, Aspidotis densa, Minuartia marcescens, and Symphyotrichum rhiannon: Additional Serpentine Endemics from Eastern North America Tanner Harris1 and Nishanta Rajakaruna2,3,* Abstract - Serpentine outcrops around the world are known to harbor disproportion- ately high rates of plant endemism. Remarkable cases of serpentine endemism occur in New Caledonia and Cuba, with 3178 and 920 endemic taxa, respectively, found solely on serpentine. Despite the patchy occurrence of serpentine in eastern North America from Québec and Newfoundland south to Alabama, only one taxon, Cerastium veluti- num var. villosissimum, has been broadly recognized as a serpentine endemic for the region. Based on reports in the literature, we suggest that Adiantum viridimontanum, Minuartia marcescens, and Symphyotrichum rhiannon be considered endemic to serpentine soils from the east coast of North America. Aspidotis densa, with several disjunct populations on and off serpentine in western North America, is known solely from serpentine soils where it occurs in eastern North America and should be consid- ered endemic to the substrate there. The geobotany of eastern North America in general is poorly understood, and additional taxonomic studies on the region’s unique geologic substrates will likely yield further edaphic endemics. Introduction Narrow endemism can result from any number of biological and en- vironmental interactions. However, within a regional climate, geological discontinuities, both topographic and geochemical, are the most common and striking infl uences of narrow endemism (Kruckeberg 1986, Kruck- eberg and Rabinowitz 1985). Among the endemic species resulting from geological discontinuities are edaphic endemics, those species restricted to chemically and/or physically unique soils (Rajakaruna and Boyd 2008).

Southeast of the Monterey Bay and within the triangle of access towns of King City, Soledad and Hollister is Pinnacles National Park. The early spring is definitely the time to visit. Any trail within the park that you choose has lovely wild flowers scattered about. The checker lily, also called Mission lily (Fritillaria affinis), can be seen in shady areas. Shooting stars (Primula clevandii var. patula) create impressive carpets of pink in woodlands and grassy areas. Among boulders and rocks, look for the bright red woolly paintbrush (Castilleja foliolosa), especially on the High Peaks and Condor trails. Look for the exquisite Mexican manzanita (Arctostaphlos pungens) along with a parasitic partner, warrior’s plume (Pedicularis densiflora), growing beneath. Other showy plants to see now are the yellow California buttercup (Ranunculus californicus), orange Douglas’ wallflower (Erysimum capitatum var. capitatum) and the pristine white milk maids (Cardamine californica).

Visitors to Carrizo Plain National Monument are starting to see yellow flowers (yet to be identified) in the center of the Monument along Soda Lake Road and expecting a low to moderate bloom over the next several weeks. Between the KCL campground and Traver Ranch on Soda Lake road is the best area at this time.
