DECISION NOTICE/DESIGNATION ORDER Decision Notice Finding Of
DECISION NOTICE/DESIGNATION ORDER Decision Notice Finding of No Significant Impact Designation Order By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Secretary of Agriculture under regulations at 7 CFR 2.42, 36 CFR 251.23, and 36 CFR Part 219, I hereby establish the Osborn Mountain Research Natural Area. It shall be comprised of lands described in the section of the Establishment Record entitled "Location." The Regional Forester has recommended the establishment of this Research Natural Area in the Record of Decision for the Bridger-Teton National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. That recommendation was the result of analysis of the factors listed in 36 CFR 219.25 and Forest Service Manual 4063.41. Results of the Regional Forester's analysis are documented in the Bridger-Teton National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement which are available to the public. The Osborn Mountain Research Natural Area will be managed in compliance with all relevant laws, regulations, and Forest Service Manual direction regarding Research Natural Areas. It will be administered in accordance with the management direction/prescription identified in the Establishment Record. I have reviewed the Bridger-Teton Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) direction for this RNA and find that the management direction cited in the previous paragraph is consistent with the LRMP and that a Plan amendment is not required. The Forest Supervisor of the Bridger-Teton National Forest shall notify the public of this decision and mail a copy of the Decision Notice/Designation Order and amended direction to all persons on the Bridger-Teton National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan mailing list. -

Los géneros más relevantes, tanto por el número de especies como por su componente endémico, son Ageratina (164 y 135, respecti- vamente), Verbesina (164, 138) y Stevia (116, 95). Los estados con mayor número de especies son Oaxa- ca (1,040), Jalisco (956), Durango (909), Guerrero (855) y Michoacán (837). Los biomas con la mayor riqueza de géneros y especies son el bosque templado (1,906) y el matorral xerófilo (1,254). -
Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae
SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOTANY 0 NCTMBER 52 Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae Harold Robinson, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, andJames F. Weedin SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS City of Washington 1981 ABSTRACT Robinson, Harold, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, and James F. Weedin. Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae. Smithsonian Contri- butions to Botany, number 52, 28 pages, 3 tables, 1981.-Chromosome reports are provided for 145 populations, including first reports for 33 species and three genera, Garcilassa, Riencourtia, and Helianthopsis. Chromosome numbers are arranged according to Robinson’s recently broadened concept of the Heliantheae, with citations for 212 of the ca. 265 genera and 32 of the 35 subtribes. Diverse elements, including the Ambrosieae, typical Heliantheae, most Helenieae, the Tegeteae, and genera such as Arnica from the Senecioneae, are seen to share a specialized cytological history involving polyploid ancestry. The authors disagree with one another regarding the point at which such polyploidy occurred and on whether subtribes lacking higher numbers, such as the Galinsoginae, share the polyploid ancestry. Numerous examples of aneuploid decrease, secondary polyploidy, and some secondary aneuploid decreases are cited. The Marshalliinae are considered remote from other subtribes and close to the Inuleae. Evidence from related tribes favors an ultimate base of X = 10 for the Heliantheae and at least the subfamily As teroideae.

Literature Cited
Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 19, 20, and 21, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbre- viated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”. Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes. -

THE USE of BIOTECHNOLOGY for SUPPLYING of PLANT MATERIAL for TRADITIONAL CULTURE of MEDICINAL, RARE SPECIES Arnica Montana L
Lucrări Ştiinţifice – vol. 57 (1) 2014, seria Agronomie THE USE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR SUPPLYING OF PLANT MATERIAL FOR TRADITIONAL CULTURE OF MEDICINAL, RARE SPECIES Arnica montana L. Iuliana PANCIU1, Irina HOLOBIUC2, Rodica CĂTANĂ2 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Taking into account the importance of Arnica montana, the attempts to improve the culture technologies are justified. Our study had the aim to optimize in vitro plant multiplication and growth as a source of plants for traditional culture in this species. Aseptic germinated seedlings were used as explants, apical meristem being the origin of the direct morphogenesis process. For induction of regeneration, to promote plant growth and rooting, we used some combination of growth factors and supplements as ascorbic acid, glutamine, PVP and active charcoal added in culture media based on MS formula. We improved the efficiency of micropropagation, the best values were recorded on variant supplemented with PVP –.7 regenerants/explant in the first 4 weeks and increasing at 17/ initial explant ( mean 14.62) after 8 weeks. Concerning the germination capacity of the seeds scored after 2 weeks in sterile condition, the rate was 47.76 and in non-sterile conditions, the rate varied depending of the substrate used. Comparing to the plants obtained through traditional seeds germination, in vitro plants grew faster and were more vigourously. The micropropagation protocol in Arnica montana L. allowed us to regenerate healthy, developed and rooted plants in the second subculture cycle. This in vitro methodology can provide plant material for initiation of a conventional culture after acclimatization of the obtained vitroplants. -

Department nf Botany The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 26 March 1980 ABSTRACT Seven species are recognized in Arnica subgenus Austromontana and two species in a new subgenus Calarnica based on a critical review and conserva• tive revision of the species. Chromosome numbers are given for 91 populations representing all species, including the first reports for Arnica nevadensis. Results of apomixis, vegetative reproduction, breeding studies, and artifi• cial hybridizations are given. Interrelationships of insect pollinators, leaf miners, achene feeders, and floret feeders are presented. Arnica cordifolia, the ancestral species consists largely of tetraploid populations, which are either autonomous or pseudogamous apomicts, and to a lesser degree diploid, triploid, pentaploid, and hexaploid populations.
