  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

  • Flora of the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory Annotated Catalog of Vascular Plants
    Flora of the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory Annotated Catalog of Vascular Plants Updated June 2013 Ann M. Howald This updated catalog for the flora of the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory (SNARL) includes all vascular plants identified during field studies conducted from 1978 through spring 2013. Taxonomic nomenclature is mainly consistent with The Jepson Manual, Second Edition (Baldwin et al. 2012). The families, genera, and species are arranged alphabetically. The scientific name of each species is followed by a common name of popular usage. No attempt was made to determine all common names that might apply to a given species. Scientific names of native species are in bold type; those of introduced species are in plain type. Annotations for all taxa include: 1) life form (e.g., annual herb, perennial herb, etc.); 2) flower color; and 3) the general abundance and distribution at SNARL. For flowering plants, the approximate flowering period in the eastern Sierra is given. Locations of most landscape features mentioned in the text (e.g., headquarters building, stream control structure 3, etc.) and numbering of the stream control structures, are as shown on current maps of SNARL. The most recent previously applied scientific name is given in brackets. A voucher specimen deposited at a herbarium participating in the Consortium of California Herbaria (CCH) is cited for most taxa. A set of duplicate herbarium specimens is housed at SNARL. DIVISION SPHENOPHYTA Equisetaceae. Horsetail Family Equisetum laevigatum A. Braun. Smooth Scouring Rush. Rhizomatous perennial herb. Occasional in moist areas near Convict Creek, near the laboratory and other buildings.

Box 848 Moab, UT 84532 February 2009 U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service Natural Resource Program Center Fort Collins, Colorado The Natural Resource Publication series addresses natural resource topics that are of interest and applicability to a broad readership in the National Park Service and to others in the management of natural resources, including the scientifi c community, the public, and the NPS conservation and environmental constituencies. Manuscripts are peer-reviewed to ensure that the information is scientifi cally credible, technically accurate, appropriately written for the intended audience, and is designed and published in a professional manner. The Natural Resource Technical Report series is used to disseminate the peer-reviewed results of scientifi c studies in the physical, biological, and social sciences for both the advancement of science and the achievement of the National Park Service’s mission. The reports provide contributors with a forum for displaying comprehensive data that are often deleted from journals because of page limitations. Current examples of such reports include the results of research that addresses natural resource management issues; natural resource inventory and monitoring activities; resource assessment reports; scientifi c literature reviews; and peer- reviewed proceedings of technical workshops, conferences, or symposia.

  • 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.
