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.

  • A Survey of the Grasslands of The
    A Survey of the Grasslands of the Northeast Ridge (Guadalupe Hills) as Habitat for the Mission Blue Butterfly (Icaricia icarioides missionensis) and the Callippe Silverspot (Speyeria callippe callippe) For San Bruno Mountain Watch 44 Visitacion Avenue Brisbane, California 94005 May 14, 2007 By Thomas Y. Wang Biologist San Francisco, California Introduction The Mission Blue butterfly Icaricia icarioides missionensis and Callippe Silverspot Speyeria callippe callippe are two endangered butterfly species that live on San Bruno Mountain. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the Mission Blue in 1976 (New 1993), and the Calllippe Silverspot was listed in 1997 (USFWS 2007). Both have a restricted range due mainly to urbanization and their particular ecology. The Mission Blue butterfly lays eggs only on several species of lupines, and has an association with specific ant species for a part of its lifecycle (Cushman and Murphy 1993). The Callippe Silverspot also has a restricted host plant – Viola pedunculata. It oviposits in the vicinity of Viola pedunculata (Thomas Reed Associates 1982) or on them (Arnold 1981). The host plants for both butterflies are plants of the grasslands – a scarce plant community of the Franciscan peninsula due to urbanization. The Habitat Conservation Plan of 1983 allowed for take of Mission Blue lands in exchange for land preserved elsewhere and restoration of butterfly habitat. Parts of the Northeast Ridge became the San Bruno Mountain County and State Park. Other parts of it were slated for development and miscellaneous open space. As part of the Habitat Conservation Plan, mark-release-recapture studies were performed on the Callippe Silverspot and the Mission Blue.

BMC Ecology 2014, 14:8 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6785/14/8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Specialization-generalization trade-off in a Bradyrhizobium symbiosis with wild legume hosts Martine Ehinger1, Toni J Mohr1, Juliana B Starcevich1, Joel L Sachs2,3, Stephanie S Porter1 and Ellen L Simms1* Abstract Background: Specialized interactions help structure communities, but persistence of specialized organisms is puzzling because a generalist can occupy more environments and partake in more beneficial interactions. The “Jack-of-all-trades is a master of none” hypothesis asserts that specialists persist because the fitness of a generalist utilizing a particular habitat is lower than that of a specialist adapted to that habitat. Yet, there are many reasons to expect that mutualists will generalize on partners. Plant-soil feedbacks help to structure plant and microbial communities, but how frequently are soil-based symbiotic mutualistic interactions sufficiently specialized to influence species distributions and community composition? To address this question, we quantified realized partner richness and phylogenetic breadth of four wild-grown native legumes (Lupinus bicolor, L. arboreus, Acmispon strigosus and A. heermannii) and performed inoculation trials to test the ability of two hosts (L. bicolor and A. strigosus) to nodulate (fundamental partner richness), benefit from (response specificity), and provide benefit to (effect specificity) 31 Bradyrhizobium genotypes.

  • Mission Blue Butterfly Habitat Restoration in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior San Francisco Bay Area Network Inventory and Monitoring Program Resource Brief February 2011 Mission Blue Butterfly Habitat Restoration in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area Importance: Maintaining healthy grassland ecosystems is critical to the continued survival of the federally endangered mission blue butterfly in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). Mission blue butterfly habitat consists of coastal grassland or a mix of coastal grassland and scrub where silver lupine (Lupinus albifrons var. collinus), summer lupine (Lupinus formosus) or varied lupine (Lupinus variicolor) are present. These three species are the only plants that mission blue caterpillars can eat, though silver lupine is the mission blue’s preferred host plant. Adult butterflies must lay their eggs on one of these lupines so Above: Mission blue they cannot stray far. butterfly habitat dotted with lupines in the Unfortunately, vast portions of mission blue habitat have already Marin Headlands.

The grassland fragments that remain terflies on silver lupine, include parts of the GGNRA, Twin Peaks, San Bruno Mountain, Ryan Jones Ryan their favored host plant. and the San Francisco Penninsula Watershed. These habitat patches are threatened by invasions of non-native trees and other plants and by a lack of natural disturbances such as historic elk grazing and wildfires that would normally prevent scrubland from taking over. French broom, (Genista monspessulana), Pampas grass (Cortaderia jubata and C. pampas ), Cape ivy (Delairea odorata), and thoroughwort (Ageratina adenophora) are some of the invasive plants that commonly threaten mission blue habitat in the GGNRA.

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.

Keywords: new combinations, nomenclature, POWO, replacement names, valid publication Introduction The 2020 target 1 of the Convention for Botanical Diversity (CBD) is to create “An online flora of all known plants.” Kew’s answer to this is the Plants of the World Online (hereafter, POWO, http://plantsoftheworldonline.org/). POWO draws together Kew’s extensive data resources including its regional floras and monographs, alongside images from the digitisation of the collections. These data will then feed into the World Flora Online (WFO, http://www.worldfloraonline.org/) consortium. The taxonomic backbone of POWO is the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) dataset, which is partly available online through the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families (WCSP) website (http://wcsp.science.kew.org/). The data compilation of this programme was started in 1988 and many nomenclatural issues were dealt with, sometimes resulting in new combinations and replacement names being indicated as “ined.” (ineditus [Latin] – unpublished) in the database and now visible online.
