  • Revised and Recirculated) Biological Resources
    Section 4..2 (Revised and Recirculated) Biological Resources Note to reader: The County of San Bernardino has previously circulated for public review and comment the March 25, 2010, Draft Environmental Impact Report on the proposed Deep Creek project. Since the close of the public comment period for that DEIR, the County has made changes to Section 4.2, Biological Resources, of the DEIR. This revised Section 4.2 supersedes and replaces Section 4.2, Biological Resources, which was included in the March 25, 2010, DEIR. The County has elected to recirculate the revised Section 4.2 for public review and comment. Pursuant to Section 15088.5(c) of the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3), only Section 4.2 of the DEIR is being recirculated. Pursuant to Section 15088.5(f)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, the County (i) is requesting that reviewers limit their comments to the revised Section 4.2, (ii) will respond to previously submitted comments on all portions of the previously circulated DEIR, except those made with respect to the now-superseded Section 4.2, and (iii) will respond to comments made during the recirculation period to the revised Section 4.2. Additionally, certain issues have previously been adjudicated, such as the evaluation and mitigation of potential impacts to the California desert tortoise and Mohave ground squirrel, and ultimately may be determined by the courts not to be subject to additional judicial review. 4.2 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section evaluates the potential impacts on biological resources resulting from the implementation of the project.

  • Lindheimer Chapter
    Native Plant Society of Texas Lindheimer Chapter Plant of the Month November, 2011 Prairie Flameleaf Sumac, Rhus lanceolata Flower Fruit USDA Range Map: Texas Prairie Flameleaf Sumac – Fall Color Prairie Flameleaf Sumac is named for (and known for) its brilliant red and orange fall foliage. A large shrub or small tree, growing 20 to 30 feet tall, it is a great ornamental that has some of the best fall color in Central Texas. Besides its great fall color, it also has large plumes of white flowers in summer, followed by clusters of red fruit in the fall. The fruit are an important food source for many species of birds and small mammals. If you can collect the fruit before the animals get to it, it makes a high Vitamin C drink that has a lemony flavor. Prairie Flameleaf Sumac is found in Central and West Texas in rocky limestone hillsides and grasslands. In our area it is frequently seen along roadsides. As is obvious from the locations where it is found, this is a tough plant that can withstand heat, drought and cold. Although it can sucker and form thickets, it is not as aggressive as several East Texas Sumac cousins (Shining Sumac, R. copallina, also called Flameleaf Sumac, and Smooth Sumac, R. glabra). It is available in nurseries that specialize in native plants. Protect it from deer when first planted and give it supplemental water for the first year or two, until it is well established. After that it is drought tolerant. Text by John Siemssen. Photos by Sally and Andy Wasowski and Joseph A.

  • Vascular Flora of Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area, Anderson County, Texas
    2003SOUTHEASTERN NATURALIST 2(3):347–368 THE VASCULAR FLORA OF GUS ENGELING WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA, ANDERSON COUNTY, TEXAS 1 2,3 2 JASON R. SINGHURST , JAMES C. CATHY , DALE PROCHASKA , 2 4 5 HAYDEN HAUCKE , GLENN C. KROH , AND WALTER C. HOLMES ABSTRACT - Field studies in the Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area, which consists of approximately 4465.5 ha (11,034.1 acres) of the Post Oak Savannah of Anderson County, have resulted in an annotated checklist of the vascular flora corroborating its remarkable species richness. A total of 930 taxa (excluding family names), belonging to 485 genera and 145 families are re- corded. Asteraceae (124 species), Poaceae (114 species), Fabaceae (67 species), and Cyperaceae (61 species) represented the largest families. Six Texas endemic taxa occur on the site: Brazoria truncata var. pulcherrima (B. pulcherrima), Hymenopappus carrizoanus, Palafoxia reverchonii, Rhododon ciliatus, Trades- cantia humilis, and T. subacaulis. Within Texas, Zigadenus densus is known only from the study area. The area also has a large number of species that are endemic to the West Gulf Coastal Plain and Carrizo Sands phytogeographic distribution patterns. Eleven vegetation alliances occur on the property, with the most notable being sand post oak-bluejack oak, white oak-southern red oak-post oak, and beakrush-pitcher plant alliances. INTRODUCTION The Post Oak Savannah (Gould 1962) comprises about 4,000,000 ha of gently rolling to hilly lands that lie immediately west of the Pineywoods (Timber belt). Some (Allred and Mitchell 1955, Dyksterhuis 1948) consider the vegetation of the area as part of the deciduous forest; i.e., burned out forest that is presently regenerating.

  • Coreopsis, Commonly Called Tickseed, Belongs in the 'Happy-Go-Lucky
    Coreopsis Belongs in Every Garden Coreopsis, commonly called tickseed, belongs in the ‘happy-go-lucky’ family of flowering perennials. They will grow in almost any kind of soil and will survive in spite of common gardening mistakes including watering too much, forgetting to water enough, and being sited in less than optimal light conditions. If asked, they would tell you they would prefer to be planted in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun to light shade. There are species of Coreopsis available from six inches to six feet tall. Most bloom in summer with lots of cheerful yellow daisy-like flowers. They attract birds and butterflies, but are not palatable to deer. Mouse ear Coreopsis (C. auriculata) is loaded with brilliant golden-orange blooms in May and June and continues to bloom sporadically until frost. These 6 to 9” tall plants spread by seed without being invasive. Plant them at the front of a border. Coreopsis ‘Jethro Tull’ grows 12 to 15” tall and 18” wide. Plant a swath of them in full to part sun, and it will set your landscape ablaze with large, yellow, uniquely fluted flowers from June to July. If yellow is not your favorite color, choose Coreopsis rosea ‘Heaven’s Gate’. Brilliant pink flowers with darker centers and a tiny yellow eye blanket 18 to 24” tall plants all summer. Threadleaf Coreopsis (C. verticillata) is an outstanding species. They are airy, mounding plants with very fine, dark green foliage. They bloom longer than other species beginning in early June and continuing into September. They are not only longer lived, but also easier to maintain.

  • Plants for Bats
    Suggested Native Plants for Bats Nectar Plants for attracting moths:These plants are just suggestions based onfloral traits (flower color, shape, or fragrance) for attracting moths and have not been empirically tested. All information comes from The Lady Bird Johnson's Wildflower Center's plant database. Plant names with * denote species that may be especially high value for bats (based on my opinion). Availability denotes how common a species can be found within nurseries and includes 'common' (found in most nurseries, such as Rainbow Gardens), 'specialized' (only available through nurseries such as Medina Nursery, Natives of Texas, SA Botanical Gardens, or The Nectar Bar), and 'rare' (rarely for sale but can be collected from wild seeds or cuttings). All are native to TX, most are native to Bexar.
