    April 26, 2019 Theodore Payne Foundation’s Wild Flower Hotline is made possible by donations, memberships, and the generous support of S&S Seeds. Now is the time to really get out and hike the trails searching for late bloomers. It’s always good to call or check the location’s website if you can, and adjust your expectations accordingly before heading out. Please enjoy your outing, and please use your best flower viewing etiquette. Along Salt Creek near the southern entrance to Sequoia National Park, the wildflowers are abundant and showy. Masses of spring flowering common madia (Madia elegans) are covering sunny slopes and bird’s-eye gilia (Gilia tricolor) is abundant on flatlands. Good crops of owl’s clover (Castilleja sp.) are common in scattered colonies and along shadier trails, woodland star flower (Lithophragma sp.), Munz’s iris (Iris munzii), and the elegant naked broomrape (Orobanche uniflora) are blooming. There is an abundance of Chinese houses (Collinsia heterophylla) and foothill sunburst (Pseudobahia heermanii). This is a banner year for the local geophytes. Mountain pretty face (Tritelia ixiodes ssp. anilina) and Ithuriel’s spear (Triteliea laxa) are abundant. With the warming temperatures farewell to spring (Clarkia cylindrical subsp. clavicarpa) is starting to show up with their lovely bright purple pink floral display and is particularly noticeable along highway 198. Naked broom rape (Orobanche uniflora), foothill sunburst (Pseudobahia heermanii). Photos by Michael Wall © Theodore Payne Foundation for Wild Flowers & Native Plants, Inc.

Different plant species were grouped into ‘species groups’ for which one ortholog was selected and added to the orthogroup, in order to keep the orthogroup topology fixed and to facilitate automation on the one hand, but also to allow enough orthogroups to be constructed on the other hand (see Material and methods).

  • CDFG Natural Communities List
    Department of Fish and Game Biogeographic Data Branch The Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program List of California Terrestrial Natural Communities Recognized by The California Natural Diversity Database September 2003 Edition Introduction: This document supersedes all other lists of terrestrial natural communities developed by the Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). It is based on the classification put forth in “A Manual of California Vegetation” (Sawyer and Keeler-Wolf 1995 and upcoming new edition). However, it is structured to be compatible with previous CNDDB lists (e.g., Holland 1986). For those familiar with the Holland numerical coding system you will see a general similarity in the upper levels of the hierarchy. You will also see a greater detail at the lower levels of the hierarchy. The numbering system has been modified to incorporate this richer detail. Decimal points have been added to separate major groupings and two additional digits have been added to encompass the finest hierarchal detail. One of the objectives of the Manual of California Vegetation (MCV) was to apply a uniform hierarchical structure to the State’s vegetation types. Quantifiable classification rules were established to define the major floristic groups, called alliances and associations in the National Vegetation Classification (Grossman et al. 1998). In this document, the alliance level is denoted in the center triplet of the coding system and the associations in the right hand pair of numbers to the left of the final decimal. The numbers of the alliance in the center triplet attempt to denote relationships in floristic similarity. For example, the Chamise-Eastwood Manzanita alliance (37.106.00) is more closely related to the Chamise- Cupleaf Ceanothus alliance (37.105.00) than it is to the Chaparral Whitethorn alliance (37.205.00).

  • Native Plants That Attract Birds to Your Garden
    Native Plants that Attract Birds to Your Garden Regional Parks Botanic Garden – East Bay Regional Park District This list was compiled by the late Es Anderson, longtime Regional Parks Botanic Garden volunteer and plant sale coordinator. Many of these plants are available at the Garden’s plant sales. Acer macrophyllum—big-leaf maple Seeds and flowers eaten by Evening Grosbeak, Black-headed Grosbeak, goldfinches, and Pine Siskin; Deciduous foliage provides good insect foraging for warblers, vireos, bushtits, and kinglets; Good for shelter and nesting. Alnus rhombifolia—white alder Red-breasted Sapsucker drills for sap; Seeds eaten by Pine Siskin, American Goldfinch, Mourning Dove, Yellow Warbler, Song Sparrow, and Purple Finch; Flowers eaten by Cedar Waxwing; Kinglets, warblers, bushtits, and vireos forage for insects in the foliage. Aesculus californica—California buckeye Hummingbirds like the flowers in April. Aquilegia formosa—western columbine, granny bonnets Attracts hummingbirds, which serve as primary pollinator. Arbutus menziesii—madrone Flowers eaten by Black-headed Grosbeak and Band-tailed Pigeon (May and June); Fruits eaten by Band-tailed Pigeon, Song Sparrow, flickers, grosbeaks, robins, thrushes, and waxwings in November. Arctostaphylos spp.—manzanita Edible fruit attracts many birds, including mockingbirds, robins, and Cedar Waxwing; Low-growing, shrubby manzanita used by California Valley Quail and wren-tits for nesting. A. uva-ursi—kinnickinnick Flowers provide nectar for hummingbirds; Band-tailed Pigeon eats the flowers. Artemisia californica—California sagebrush Good place to look for the Rufous-crowned Sparrow. A. douglasiana—mugwort Provides excellent cover in moist places; Favorite nesting place for Lazuli Bunting and other small birds. Asarum caudatum—wild ginger Used by California Valley Quail for nesting.

College Avenue Claremont, Calif. 91711 ABSTRACT The Liebre Mountains form a discrete unit of the Transverse Ranges of southern California. Geo­ graphically, the range is transitional to the San Gabriel Mountains, Inner Coast Ranges, Tehachapi Mountains, and Mojave Desert. A total of 1010 vascular plant taxa was recorded from the range, representing 104 families and 400 genera. The ratio of native vs. nonnative elements of the flora is 4:1, similar to that documented in other areas of cismontane southern California. The range is note­ worthy for the diversity of Quercus and oak-dominated vegetation. A total of 32 sensitive plant taxa (rare, threatened or endangered) was recorded from the range.
