  • Alplains 2013 Seed Catalog P.O
    ALPLAINS 2013 SEED CATALOG P.O. BOX 489, KIOWA, CO 80117-0489, U.S.A. Three ways to contact us: FAX: (303) 621-2864 (24 HRS.) email: [email protected] website: www.alplains.com Dear Growing Friends: Welcome to our 23rd annual seed catalog! The summer of 2012 was long, hot and brutal, with drought afflicting most of the U.S. Most of my botanical explorations were restricted to Idaho, Wash- ington, Oregon and northern California but even there moisture was below average. In a year like this, seeps, swales, springs, vestigial snowbanks and localized rainstorms became much more important in my search for seeding plants. On the Snake River Plains of southern Idaho and the scab- lands of eastern Washington, early bloomers such as Viola beckwithii, V. trinervata, Ranunculus glaberrimus, Ranunculus andersonii, Fritillaria pudica and Primula cusickiana put on quite a show in mid-April but many populations could not set seed. In northern Idaho, Erythronium idahoense flowered extensively, whole meadows were covered with thousands of the creamy, pendant blossoms. One of my most satisfying finds in the Hells Canyon area had to be Sedum valens. The tiny glaucous rosettes, surround- ed by a ring of red leaves, are a succulent connoisseur’s dream. Higher up, the brilliant blue spikes of Synthyris missurica punctuated the canyon walls. In southern Oregon, the brilliant red spikes of Pedicularis densiflora lit up the Siskiyou forest floor. Further north in Oregon, large populations of Erythronium elegans, Erythronium oregonum ssp. leucandrum, Erythro- nium revolutum, trilliums and sedums provided wonderful picture-taking opportunities. Eriogonum species did well despite the drought, many of them true xerics.

  • Floristic Inventory of Fort Laramie National Historic Site
    FLORISTIC INVENTORY OF FORT LARAMIE NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE Prepared for Northern Great Plains Inventory Program National Park Service and Fort Laramie National Historic Site National Park Service HC 72 Box 389 Fort Laramie, WY 82212 by Bonnie Heidel Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming Laramie December 2004 ABSTRACT Fort Laramie National Historic Site (FOLA) is a landmark of western history. It lies at the confluence of two major rivers, the North Platte and the Laramie, which were Rocky Mountain travel corridors and gateways to natural resources for traders, military personnel, settlers, and Native Americans alike. For all of the research on the local and regional human history and vast natural resources of the Rocky Mountains there had not been systematic documentation of natural resources as represented by the flora and fauna at many of the parks and historic sites administered by the National Park Service (NPS), such as FOLA. Baseline floristic inventory at FOLA was identified as a priority by the NPS under the Inventory and Monitoring initiative. Existing floristic information was earlier compiled and interpreted from vascular plant collections made in FOLA (Fertig 2001). From these data, a total of 177 plant species were reported. This represented 26.7% of the Goshen County flora known at that time. An additional 182 plant species were inferred as likely to be present because they were known from elsewhere in the county and occupied habitats similar to those found at the FOLA. Systematic floristic surveys conducted at FOLA from June 2003 – September 2004 more than doubled the documented flora to 376 species with the addition of 201 species (114% increase).

  • A Review on Pharmaceutical Potential of Parthenium Plant
    A Review on Pharmaceutical Potential of Parthenium Plant Shabari Girish, M. Harshini, Lokesh Ravi Department of Botany, St. Joseph’s College (Autonomous), Bengaluru, Karnataka, India Abstract Parthenium plant, in general, is known to be harmful, dangerous, and invasive in nature. It causes much economic loss to farmers by affecting the cultivation of crops and considered to be a threat to primary production of crops and biodiversity as well. Parthenium hysterophorus a weed belonging to the family Asteraceae, it is an erect short-lived plant and is known for its fleshy growth along sides of abandoned places, roadsides, and uncultivated lands. This REVIEW ARTICLE REVIEW weed is found in hot and humid climates around the globe. This invasive species is known with different names in different countries such as carrot weed, star weed, congress grass, wild feverfew, ragweed, bitter weed, and white top. The spread of P. hysterophorus has been found to cause enormous loss to biodiversity by replacing natural ecosystems and sometimes known to cause total habit alternation. In this review article, we discuss P. hysterophorus as a weed, its origin, reproductive bionomics, chemical composition, and its pharmaceutical potential as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, anti-HIV, and antitumor activity in detail. Key words: Antibacterial, Antifungal, melatonin, parthenin, Parthenium hysterophorus, pharmaceutical activities INTRODUCTION This herb is known for its vigorous growth and high fertility[8] in all climatic conditions, especially warmer climates.[9] It causes arthenium species is a highly toxic and ecological and agricultural losses every year on a large scale threateningly invasive weed found in and is considered as one of the worst weeds for its invasiveness Pmore than 30 countries.[1] This plant and environmental aspects.

  • 3.7 SPECIAL STATUS PLANTS the Proposed Route and Route Alternatives Would Pass Through Multiple Habitats That Could Support Special Status Plant Species
    Gateway West Transmission Line Draft EIS 3.7 SPECIAL STATUS PLANTS The Proposed Route and Route Alternatives would pass through multiple habitats that could support special status plant species. These species include threatened, endangered, and candidate species listed under the ESA, those listed by the Forest Service and/or BLM as Sensitive, and State Heritage Program species of concern. For discussion purposes where appropriate, these various groups will be referred to collectively as threatened, endangered, and sensitive (TES) plant species. TES wildlife and fish species are discussed in Section 3.11 – Special Status Wildlife and Fish Species. 3.7.1 Affected Environment This section describes the existing environmental conditions for TES plant species that could be impacted by the Project, if constructed. The discussion will first define the Analysis Area. It will then outline the issues that were raised during public scoping, followed by a description of the laws and regulations in place to manage TES plant species. This section will then conclude by describing the methods used to determine the probable locations of and the potential impacts to these species, as well as a description of the existing conditions found within the Project area and the TES plant species potentially present within this area. 3.7.1.1 Analysis Area The Project would cross a portion of the Intermountain West region, in southern Wyoming and Idaho, as well as a small portion of northern Nevada (under Alternative 7I). Elevation, slope, aspect, average seasonal temperatures, and annual precipitation exhibit a wide range across the more than 1,100 miles crossed by the Project.

But strange things can happen in the land of the Laramie Batholith and the Central Metamorphic Complex. The Laramie columbine, Aquilegia laramiensis, is endemic to the Laramie Mountains in southeast Wyoming. It was discovered by Aven Nelson in 1895 on a botanizing trip on and around Laramie Peak. The flowers of this little columbine are nodding, and are borne among the leaves. They have greenish-white to lavender sepals, and cream to lavender petals with spurs less than 10 mm long. Prior to the 2003 field season, Aquilegia laramiensis was known from just 12 sites, two of which were considered historical without precise location data. Most were in the northern part of the Laramie Mountains, in the vicinity of Laramie Peak. The columbine also occurs on Ragged Top Mountain about 60 miles to the south, and Char Delmatier found it roughly halfway Aquilegia laramiensis, by Isobel Nichols between Laramie Peak and Ragged Top in In this issue: 1993.

    Ecology and Population Biology Session Estimating Aboveground Biomass of Mariola (Parthenium incanum) from Plant Dimensions Carlos Villalobos1 Abstract: The distribution and abundance of plant biomass in space and time are important properties of rangeland ecosystem. Land managers and researchers require reliable shrub weight estimates to evaluate site productivity, food abundance, treatment effects, and stocking rates. Rapid, nondestructive methods are needed to estimate shrub biomass in semi-arid ecosystems. Shrub height and crown diameter are useful non-destructive measures of shrub size. Mariola (Parthenium incanum) is an important shrub that is widely distributed in the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts. Mariola is found from the southwest United States to the central part of Mexico. Regression analyses were used to examine the relationships between aboveground biomass and four plant measurements (shrub height, longest canopy width, shortest canopy width, and crown volume) from 45 plants. All variables were related to aerial biomass; R values varied from 0.73 to 0.98. Regression equations developed for mariola compared favorably to equations in similar species in desert environments, suggesting that results might be applicable to other desert regions for rapid and accurate estimation of shrub biomass. Introduction goldeneye (Viguiera cordifolia), and ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens). Among these shrubs, fourwing saltbush The Chihuahuan desert is the largest of the three creosote- (Atriplex canescens) and mariola (Parthenium incanum) bush-dominated deserts in North America.
