  • Phytophthora Pathogens Threaten Rare Habitats and Conservation Plantings
    Phytophthora pathogens threaten rare habitats and conservation plantings Susan J. Frankel1, Janice Alexander2, Diana Benner3, Janell Hillman4 & Alisa Shor5 Abstract Phytophthora pathogens are damaging native wildland vegetation including plants in restoration areas and botanic gardens. The infestations threaten some plants already designated as endangered and degrade high-value habitats. Pathogens are being introduced primarily via container plant nursery stock and, once established, they can spread to adjacent areas where plant species not previously exposed to pathogens may become infected. We review epidemics in California – caused by the sudden oak death pathogen Phytophthora ramorum Werres, De Cock & Man in ‘t Veld and the frst USA detections of P. tentaculata Krber & Marwitz, which occurred in native plant nurseries and restoration areas – as examples to illustrate these threats to conservation plantings. Introduction stock) (Liebhold et al., 2012; Parke et al., Phytophthora (order: Peronosporales; 2014; Jung et al., 2015; Swiecki et al., kingdom: Stramenopila) pathogens 2018b; Sims et al., 2019). Once established, have increasingly been identifed as Phytophthora spp. have the potential associated with plant dieback and to reduce growth, kill and cause other mortality in restoration areas (Bourret, undesirable impacts on a wide variety of 2018; Garbelotto et al., 2018; Sims et al., native or horticultural vegetation (Brasier 2019), threatened and endangered species et al., 2004; Hansen 2007, 2011; Scott & habitat (Swiecki et al., 2018a), botanic Williams, 2014; Jung et al., 2018). gardens and wildlands in coastal California In this review, we focus on the (Cobb et al., 2017; Metz et al., 2017) and consequences of two pathogen southern Oregon (Goheen et al., 2017).

  • Wild Plants of the East Bay Regional Park District
    Wild Plants of the East Bay Regional Park District A Photographic Guide Sorted by Family Name Photographs by Wilde Legard Botanist, East Bay Regional Park District Revision: February 23, 2007 More than 2,000 species of native and naturalized plants grow wild in the San Francisco Bay Area. Most are very difficult to identify without the help of good illustrations. This is designed to be a simple, color photo guide to help you identify some of these plants. The selection of plants displayed in this guide is by no means complete. The intent is to expand the quality and quantity of photos over time. The revision date is shown on the cover and on the header of each photo page. A comprehensive plant list for this area (including the many species not found in this publication) can be downloaded at the East Bay Regional Park District’s wild plant download page at: http://www.ebparks.org. This guide is published electronically in Adobe Acrobat® format to accommodate these planned updates. You have permission to freely download, distribute, and print this pdf for individual use. You are not allowed to sell the electronic or printed versions. In this version of the guide, the included plants are sorted alphabetically by scientific family name, and by scientific name within each family. Under each photograph are four lines of information, based on upon the current standard wild plant reference for Cali- fornia: The Jepson Manual: Higher Plants of California, 1993. Scientific Name Scientific names revised since 1993 are NOT included in this edition. Common Name These non-standard names are based on Jepson and other local references.

  • A Photographic Guide to Wild Plants of Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve
    Huckleberry Plants A photographic guide to wild plants of Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve Sorted by Scientific Name Photographs by Wilde Legard Botanist, East Bay Regional Park District Revision: February 23, 2007 More than 2,000 species of native and naturalized plants grow wild in the San Francisco Bay Area. Most are very difficult to identify without the help of good illustrations. This is designed to be a simple, color photo guide to help you identify some of these plants. The selection of plants displayed in this guide is by no means complete. The intent is to expand the quality and quantity of photos over time. The revision date is shown on the cover and on the header of each photo page. A comprehensive plant list for this area (including the many species not found in this publication) can be downloaded at the East Bay Regional Park District’s wild plant download page at: http://www.ebparks.org. This guide is published electronically in Adobe Acrobat® format to accommodate these planned updates. You have permission to freely download, distribute, and print this pdf for individual use. You are not allowed to sell the electronic or printed versions. In this version of the guide, the included plants are sorted alphabetically by scientific name. Under each photograph are four lines of information, based on upon the current standard wild plant reference for California: The Jepson Manual: Higher Plants of California, 1993. Scientific Name Scientific names revised since 1993 are NOT included in this edition. Common Name These non-standard names are based on Jepson and other local references.
