Symbios Research & Restoration 135 Growing and Using Native Plants in the Northern Interior of B.C. Collinsia parviflora Dougl.exLindl. small-flowered blue-eyed Mary (continued) Background Information Collinsia parviflora is an annual species (the only one treated in this manual), found north to Alaska and southern Yukon, east to Ontario, and south to Pennsylvania, Michigan, South Dakota, New Mexico, Arizona and California. It is common in B.C., except in the northeast (Douglas et al. 2000). Growth Form: Annual herb from a tap root; opposite smooth or minutely hairy leaves, purplish underneath; terminal cluster of short-stalked flowers, 2 lipped; the upper flower lip is two-lobed, white; the lower flower lip is three-lobbed, blue; mature plant size is 5 - 50 cm tall (Douglas et al. 2000). Site Preferences: Moist to dry grassy slopes, mossy rock outcrops, forest glades and open forests at low to middle elevations (Douglas et al. 2000). In coastal B.C. it is reported to be shade-intolerant, found on very dry to moderately dry nitrogen-medium soils, including open forests on very shallow soils (rock outcrops and cliffs) and meadow-like communities on water-shedding sites. This species is considered characteristic of moisture-deficient sites, and its occurrence appears to increase with increasing temperature (Klinka et al. 1989). Collinsia parviflora tolerates a minimum of 406 mm and a maximum of 1270 mm of annual precipitation; it can tolerate minimum temperatures to -36oC (NRCS 2002). Seed Information Seed Size: Length: 1.64 mm (1.22 - 1.94 mm) Width: 1.12 mm (0.84 - 1.40 mm) Seeds per gram: 1,174 (range: 904 - 1,449) Volume to Weight Conversion: 758.3 g/L at 87.9% purity Germination Capacity: At 30o/20o C untreated: not tested At 25o/15o C untreated: 24.9% (3 - 49%). stratified: 5.0% (2–8%). Germination Speed: No data available. Seed Longevity: Unknown; probably quite long, Figure 99. Seeds of Collinsia parviflora. as it has emerged from the seed bank of agricultural Rule divisions are 1.0 mm. soils maintained in hay production for decades. Considerations for Growing Techniques for Seed Production Seed treatment: Stratification apparently inhibits germination, at least under cool conditions. Stand establishment: Requires loamy, well-prepared soils, firm seedbed; site should be free of all weeds, especially rhizomatous grasses because selective herbicides cannot be used once plants are growing; sow early in the year as seeds seem to germinate better under cool conditions. Row spacing: Unknown; suggest 75-120 cm under dryland conditions, 30-90 cm under irrigation. Seeding density: Unknown at present; suggest 60-100 PLS per linear metre (Smith and Smith 2000). 136 Symbios Research & Restoration Growing and Using Native Plants in the Northern Interior of B.C. Collinsia parviflora Dougl.exLindl. small-flowered blue-eyed Mary (continued) (Techniques for Seed Production, continued) Seeding depth: Surface to shallow seeding; a light dusting of peat moss will help to keep the seeds in place. This species may be slow to establish from seed, as its dormancy mechanism appears to be complex; establishment from greenhouse-propagated plugs may be more reliable, though will be relatively expensive relative to seed yield because propagation has to be repeated annually. Stand maintenance: Regularly cultivate rows and spot spray with herbicide to keep plot weed free. Since this is an annual species, plots should be retilled annually. If any seed drops before harvesting (which is highly likely), the same plot can often be used year after year for Collinsia seed production. Response to fertilization is unknown. Harvesting and Seed Processing: The date of selective harvesting in the Bulkley Valley of northwestern B.C. have been as early as July 30th. Seed heads of this species shatter moderately easily, dehiscing when ripe. Hand clipping: Use sharp hand clippers. Hold the seed heads over bins placed alongside the plants being clipped or place a bag over the seed heads before clipping to minimize seed loss. Do not allow seed capsules to become over ripe or they will dehisce before harvest and you will lose many seeds. Plastic between rows is recommended so dehisced seeds can be salvaged. Vacuum: Suitability unknown at present. Seed stripper: Suitability unknown at present. Combine/thresher settings: 1850 rpm with a 1-2 mm gap. Seed cleaning: After threshing, run a through fanning mill using the following screen configurations: prescreen 1.8 x 12.7 mm; top screen 1.2 x 7.1 mm; bottom screen 1.2 mm square. Run through vacuum separator at medium suction to remove dust and chaff. Storage requirements: Cool dry conditions, though seeds of this species are apparently tolerant of a wide range of environmental conditions. Considerations for Use in Revegetation • Collinsia parviflora has higher germination at lower temperatures, so late fall or early spring sowing is recommended. • Collinsia parviflora has possible use as a cover crop, because this annual species grows quickly, flowers early, and has shallow roots that can provide green-up and erosion control with minimal competition with perennial species. Emergence has been spotty in field trials, however, indicating that we do not fully understand the dormancy mechanisms in the seed of this species. • Until we can better utilize its properties as an annual, inclusion of this species in a seed mixture is generally for diversity, and for its long-lived seeds that may be important constituents of the seed bank at some time in the future. Other considerations: • Collinsia parviflora has a delicate blue flower that grows easily, so this species has possible ornamental value.

Symbios Research & Restoration 139 Growing and Using Native Plants in the Northern Interior of B.C. Dryas drummondii Richards. ex Hook. yellow mountain-avens (continued) Background Information Dryas drummondii is found north to Alaska and the Northwest Territories, south to Oregon and east to Newfoundland. It is common throughout B.C. east of the Coast-Cascade Mountains but rare west of these mountains (Douglas et al. 1999). Three varieties are recognized (Douglas et al. 1999), which we do not distinguish, though most of our material appears to be D.d. var. drummondii. This species has been the subject of numerous studies in which its role as a colonizer and nitrogen fixer on recent glacial moraines has been documented (Crocker and Major 1955, Schoenike 1958, Lawrence et al. 1967, Chapin et al. 1994, Kohls et al. 1994). Growth Form: Forms extensive continuous mats, roots forming symbiotic nodules with the nitrogen-fixing actinomycete, Frankia (Kohls et al. 1994); low dwarf shrub from long woody base, alternate evergreen leaves, woolly hairy underneath, solitary flower on leafless woolly-hairy stalks, yellow corollas, dandelion-like fluff of seeds; mature plant size is 15 - 25 cm tall (Hardy 1989, Kohls et al. 1994, Douglas et al. 1999).

All rights reserved. This Thesis for the Master of Environmental Study Degree by Daniel Nelson Grosboll has been approved for The Evergreen State College by ________________________ Judy Cushing, Ph.D. Member of the Faculty ______________ Date Abstract Taylor's checkerspot (Euphydryas editha taylori) oviposition habitat selection and larval hostplant use in Washington State Taylor’s checkerspot (Euphydryas editha taylori (W.H. Edwards 1888)), a Federal Endangered Species Act candidate species, is found in remnant colonies between extreme southwestern British Columbia and the southern Willamette Valley in Oregon. This butterfly and its habitat have declined precipitously largely due to anthropogenic impacts. However, this butterfly appears to benefit from some land management activities and some populations are dependent on an exotic hostplant. Oviposition sites determine what resources are available for larvae after they hatch. Larval survival and growth on three reported hostplants (Castilleja hispida, Plantago lanceolata, and P. major) were measured in captivity to determine the suitability of hostplant species and to develop captive rearing methods. Larvae successfully developed on C. hispida and P. lanceolata. Parameters of oviposition sites were measured within occupied habitat at four sites in Western Washington. Sampling occurred at two spatial scales with either complete site censuses or stratified systematic sampling on larger sites. Within the sampled or censused areas, oviposition sites were randomly selected for paired oviposition/adjacent non-oviposition microhabitat measurements.

Kershaw & Lorna Allen Key to Figwort and Allies Families In the past few years, the families Orobanchaceae, Plantaginaceae and Scrophulariaceae have under- gone some major revision and reorganization. Most of the species in the Scrophulariaceae in the Flora of Alberta (1983) are now in the Orobanchaceae and Plantaginaceae. For this reason, we’ve grouped the Orobanchaceae, Plantaginaceae, Phrymaceae and Scrophulariaceae together in this fle. In addition, species previously placed in the Callitrichaceae and Hippuridaceae families are now included in the Plantaginaceae family. 01a Plants aquatic, with many or all leaves submersed and limp when taken from the 1a water; leaves paired or in rings (whorled) on the stem, all or mostly linear (foating leaves sometimes spatula- to egg-shaped); fowers tiny (1-2 mm), single or clustered in leaf axils; petals and sepals absent or sepals fused in a cylinder around the ovary; stamens 0-1 . Plantaginaceae (in part) . - Callitriche, Hippuris 01b Plants emergent wetland species (with upper stems and leaves held above water) or upland species with self-supporting stems and leaves; leaves not as above; fowers larger, single or in clusters; petals and sepals present; stamens 2-4 (Hippuris sometimes emergent, but leaves/ fowers distinctive) . .02 2a 02a Plants without green leaves .

  • Plants of Hot Springs Valley and Grover Hot Springs State Park Alpine County, California
    Plants of Hot Springs Valley and Grover Hot Springs State Park Alpine County, California Compiled by Tim Messick and Ellen Dean This is a checklist of vascular plants that occur in Hot Springs Valley, including most of Grover Hot Springs State Park, in Alpine County, California. Approximately 310 taxa (distinct species, subspecies, and varieties) have been found in this area. How to Use this List Plants are listed alphabetically, by family, within major groups, according to their scientific names. This is standard practice for plant lists, but isn’t the most user-friendly for people who haven’t made a study of plant taxonomy. Identifying species in some of the larger families (e.g. the Sunflowers, Grasses, and Sedges) can become very technical, requiring examination of many plant characteristics under high magnification. But not to despair—many genera and even species of plants in this list become easy to recognize in the field with only a modest level of study or help from knowledgeable friends. Persistence will be rewarded with wonder at the diversity of plant life around us. Those wishing to pursue plant identification a bit further are encouraged to explore books on plants of the Sierra Nevada, and visit CalPhotos (calphotos.berkeley.edu), the Jepson eFlora (ucjeps.berkeley.edu/eflora), and CalFlora (www.calflora.org). The California Native Plant Society (www.cnps.org) promotes conservation of plants and their habitats throughout California and is a great resource for learning and for connecting with other native plant enthusiasts. The Nevada Native Plant Society nvnps.org( ) provides a similar focus on native plants of Nevada.

Furthermore, the composition of species within a location can highly influence the interactions between trophic levels, which may impact community resilience to disturbances. Here, I evaluated the species composition and interactions of plants and pollinators across a latitudinal gradient, from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada to the Willamette and Umpqua Valleys in Oregon and Washington, United States of America. I surveyed 16 oak-savanna communities within three ecoregions (the Strait of Georgia/ Puget Lowlands, the Willamette Valley, and the Klamath Mountains), documenting interactions and abundances of the plants and pollinators. I then conducted various multivariate and network analyses on these communities to understand the effects of space and species composition on community resilience.

Department of The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date - ii - Abstract The Collinsia populations in southwestern British Columbia and northwestern Washington show considerable variation in leaf and flower characters both within and between populations. One of the purposes of this study was to determine the genetic mechanisms con• trolling some of these characters. Two leaf polymorphisms were studied. They were the presence or absence of purple anthocyanin spots on the surface of the leaves and the presence or absence of a silvery sheen, also on the surface of the leaves. Each was shown to be controlled by a single gene with two alleles. The spotted leaf character was dominant over the un• spotted leaf character and the silvery sheen was dominant over the normal green leaf character.

  • Key to the Alberta Figworts and Allies Orobanchaceae
    KEY TO THE ALBERTA FIGWORTS AND ALLIES OROBANCHACEAE PHRYMACEAE PLANTAGINACEAE SCROPHULARIACEAE Compiled and written by Lorna Allen and Linda Kershaw June 2018 The key to the families in this group is based on Lesica (2012). The keys to each family were compiled using information primarily from Moss (1983) and Douglas et. al. (1998, 1999, 2000). Taxonomy follows VASCAN (Brouillet, 2017). References are listed at the end of the key. The 2015 S-ranks of rare species (S1; S1S2; S2; S2S3; SU, according to ACIMS, 2015) are noted in superscript (S1;S2;SU) after the species names. For more details go to the ACIMS web site. Similarly, exotic species are followed by a superscript X, XX if noxious and XXX if prohibited noxious (X; XX; XXX) according to the Alberta Weed Control Act (2016). Please try using the key, and let us know if there are ways in which it can be improved. Next winter we hope to add illustrations.
