The epiphyte wall and “tree” above the pond allow stu- dents and visitors to see plants in their simulated natural habitat and will be a showcase for vanilla, ant plants (such as Dischidia), Nepenthes, and other epiphytes. Venus fly traps Dionaea( ), pitcher plants (Sarracenia), begonias, orchids and Gesneriads are some other plant types that have found a home in or around the pond and rock wall. The pond has already been a big hit with over 1,000 visitors during Biodiversity Museum Day and another 800 students coming through for BIS 2C during the month of February. In the near future, the Conservatory will be adding “branches” above the pond to the epiphyte “tree.” Over the years Clockwise from top: Cooper Calvin and Eric Cendejas take a refreshing photo as the pond is the Conservatory staff and volunteers first filled.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Biosystematics of the Mimulus Nanus Complex in Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF WAYLAND LEE EZELL for the DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Name) (Degree) in BOTANY presented on August 27, 1970 (Major) (Date) Title: BIOSYSTEMATICS OF THE MIMULUS NANUS COMPLEX IN OREGON Abstract approved:Redacted for Privacy Kenton L. Chambers A biosystematic study was made in seven populations of Mimulus nanus Hook. & Arn. and M. cusickii (Greene) Piper (Scrophulariaceae) in central Oregon, and a taxonomic revision was made of the four species of section Eunanus reported from Oregon--M. nanus, M. cusickii, M. clivicola Greenm. and M. jepsonii Grant.Mimulus nanus and M. cusickii have a chromosome number of n = 8. Based on their distinct genetic and morphological differences, M. nanus, M. cusickii and M. clivicola constitute three separate species in Oregon and surrounding regions. Members of M. nanus are the most highly variable in their morphology and are more widely dis- tributed geographically and ecologically.In a limited area of the Cascade Mountains of central and southern Oregon, an ecotype of M. nanus was discovered which differs from the typical form that is widely distributed in Oregon and Idaho.Also, the populations that have pre- viously been named M. jepsonii, occurring in the southern Cascade and northern Sierra Nevada mountains, Oregon and California, are herein treated as an ecotype of M. nanus; they are morphologically similar to this taxon but show differences in ecology and elevational range. The two ecotypes mentioned above appear to hybridize with typical M. nanus at their zones of contact, thus demonstrating the ability for genetic exchange in nature.Cross-compatibility was confirmed in greenhouse hybridizations between the Cascade ecotype and typical M.

  • Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California
    Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California Volume 1 of 2 – Introduction, Methods, and Results Prepared by: California Department of Fish and Wildlife Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program California Native Plant Society Vegetation Program For: The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District The Sonoma County Water Agency Authors: Anne Klein, Todd Keeler-Wolf, and Julie Evens December 2015 ABSTRACT This report describes 118 alliances and 212 associations that are found in Sonoma County, California, comprising the most comprehensive local vegetation classification to date. The vegetation types were defined using a standardized classification approach consistent with the Survey of California Vegetation (SCV) and the United States National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) system. This floristic classification is the basis for an integrated, countywide vegetation map that the Sonoma County Vegetation Mapping and Lidar Program expects to complete in 2017. Ecologists with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the California Native Plant Society analyzed species data from 1149 field surveys collected in Sonoma County between 2001 and 2014. The data include 851 surveys collected in 2013 and 2014 through funding provided specifically for this classification effort. An additional 283 surveys that were conducted in adjacent counties are included in the analysis to provide a broader, regional understanding. A total of 34 tree-overstory, 28 shrubland, and 56 herbaceous alliances are described, with 69 tree-overstory, 51 shrubland, and 92 herbaceous associations. This report is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 (this volume) is composed of the project introduction, methods, and results. It includes a floristic key to all vegetation types, a table showing the full local classification nested within the USNVC hierarchy, and a crosswalk showing the relationship between this and other classification systems.

  • Lamiales – Synoptical Classification Vers
    Lamiales – Synoptical classification vers. 2.6.2 (in prog.) Updated: 12 April, 2016 A Synoptical Classification of the Lamiales Version 2.6.2 (This is a working document) Compiled by Richard Olmstead With the help of: D. Albach, P. Beardsley, D. Bedigian, B. Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.

  • Redefining Phrymaceae: the Placement of Mimulus, Tribe Mimuleae, and Phryma1
    American Journal of Botany 89(7): 1093±1102. 2002. REDEFINING PHRYMACEAE: THE PLACEMENT OF MIMULUS, TRIBE MIMULEAE, AND PHRYMA1 PAUL M. BEARDSLEY2 AND RICHARD G. OLMSTEAD Department of Botany, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195 USA Chloroplast trnL/F and nuclear ribosomal ITS and ETS sequence data were used to analyze phylogenetic relationships among members of tribe Mimuleae (Scrophulariaceae) and other closely related families in Lamiales. The results of these analyses led to the following conclusions. (1) The Australian genera Glossostigma and Peplidium and the taxonomically isolated Phryma join four genera of tribe Mimuleae to form a well-supported clade that is distinct from other families in the Lamiales. We refer to that clade as the subfamily Phrymoideae. (2) The genera Mazus and Lancea (tribe Mimuleae) together form a well-supported clade that we recognize as the subfamily Mazoideae. Mazoideae is weakly supported as sister to Phrymoideae. We assign Mazoideae and Phrymoideae to a rede®ned family Phrymaceae. (3) Mimulus is not monophyletic, because members of at least six other genera have been derived from within it. In light of the molecular evidence, it is clear that species of Phrymaceae (about 190 species) have undergone two geograph- ically distinct radiations; one in western North America (about 130 species) and another in Australia (about 30 species). Phylogenetic interpretations of morphological evolution and biogeographical patterns are discussed. Key words: ETS; ITS; Mimuleae; Mimulus; Phryma; Phrymaceae; Scrophulariaceae; trnL/F. Species in the genus Mimulus have become model systems Mimulus, though in subsequent works, Pennell placed Mimu- for the study of evolutionary processes in nature.

    Revised: 31-Jan-2019 The Plants of Monterey County – an Illustrated Field Key Second edition by Mary Ann Matthews & Michael Mitchell UPDATES & ERRATA The Jepson Herbarium publishes annual revisions to the treatment of particular genera, sometimes involving a change in the family or genus attribution. Brief summaries of these changes, so far as they relate to taxa found in Monterey County are set out below.

Wallace California Botanic Garden [formerly Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden], 1500 North College Avenue, Claremont, California 91711 ([email protected]) abstract An account of the extent, diversity, and importance of the Californian collections of Thomas Coulter in the herbarium (TCD) of Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, is presented here. It is based on examination of collections in TCD, several other collections available online, and referenced literature. Additional infor- mation on historical context, content of herbarium labels and annotations is included. Coulter’s collections in TCD are less well known than partial duplicate sets at other herbaria. He was the first botanist to cross the desert of southern California to the Colorado River. Coulter’s collections in TCD include not only 60 vascular plant specimens previously unidentified as type material but also among the first moss andmarine algae specimens known to be collected in California. A list of taxa named for Thomas Coulter is included.
