Annual Potluck Program

Flora of North America
Speaker: Nancy Morin

Sunday, December 13, 12:00 Noon Luncheon, 1:30 PM program, Greenwood

Community Center, Hwy 1 in Elk.

Tucked in a small corner of a small cottage in a small town on the

Mendocino Coast is one of the nerve centers of a thirty-year project
to write a Flora of North America north of Mexico (FNA). Point
Arena resident Nancy Morin, DKY‘s Chapter Secretary, coordinates
regional reviews by southwestern botanists, is editor for several major plant
families and author of treatments for other families, and handles the business and
fund-raising aspects of the project. She has been involved in FNA since its
beginning in 1982 and is determined to see it through to publication of all 30
volumes. She will give an insider‘s view of what it has taken to publish the first
fifteen volumes, and talk about how a continental flora relates to local, state, and
regional flora projects.
This meeting is also our Chapter Board Election, so be sure to show up and
vote. Gift books on native plants will be on sale at reasonable prices. We may
have some used books, too. The Community Center is at the south end of Elk,
right off Highway 1, on the east side. We‘ll try to have a CNPS sign out front.
Please bring a main dish, salad or dessert to share, plus dishes and flatware if
possible. Wine and festive non-alcoholic beverages are much appreciated.

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

The California Native Plant Society accomplishes an enormous amount on behalf of the plants of California
through the work of dedicated volunteers, and most of those volunteers work through their individual chapters.
Chapter officers and committee chairs provide leadership to their membership and keep local activities rolling, and
they also communicate with the state organization on behalf of the chapter members. CNPS brings the power of its
membership to bear on issues that are important to one or a few chapters or the entire state of California or even to
influence national policy. CNPS also proves the old adage ―many hands make the work light.‖ It is much more fun
to work as part of a team, and no one person gets burned out trying to do too much. Please take a look at the
volunteer positions that are open in our

 President’s Corner
by Lori Hubbart
As the calendar year winds to a
close, I just have to thank our
chapter officers: Vice-President,
Mario Abreu; Secretary, Nancy
Morin; Treasurer, Mary Hunter. They are all involved in
many aspects of running our chapter, doing their
assigned jobs plus many other things.
Let me also praise our Membership Chair, Bob
Rutemoeller, who is always on top of membership
issues, and ever vigilant about things that affect our
chapter.
These folks have been such mainstays for our
organization, and a delight to work with! All our board
members and many volunteers deserve commendation,
too. Even if you did just one small job, like helping out
at an event, it made a difference, and we appreciate
you greatly.
While we are waiting for rain, I hope people
happened to visit Boonville and enjoy the fall colors
along the way. Colder temperatures in the hills bring
on stronger leaf color earlier in the season than along
the coast. What would our autumns be without poison
oak? This much-maligned shrub turns the best red
color ever. Along Mountain View Road you could also
see gloriously gold big leaf maples, wild hazelnuts and
other native shrubs. Who says California lacks distinct
seasons?
We had a wonderful time selling plants at our two
plant sales, which were very successful. It is so good
to have some income that we might use for education,
to donate to native plant-related causes, or for
conservation efforts.
Some sale customers were looking for very specific
plants, sometimes rather unusual things not available in
most nurseries. Sending them off, delighted with their
treasures, made me feel like an animal shelter worker
finding great new homes for needy pets!
Conservation Notes
California State Parks: As you know, our state
parks have been de-funded, and will have their official
open times drastically reduced. No one knows what
their long-term fate will be. It is not clear what will
happen with the planned trail through Glass Beach,
which is part of the State Park system. One would
assume that the project would be halted, but then
again, it was conceived as a joint project with the City
of Fort Bragg, which very much wants its portion of the
Coastal Trail built.
2 November - December ‗09
Pygmy Forest: Mendocino pygmy forest continues
to be imperiled, even in the Coastal Zone. A recent
ruling by the California Coastal Commission narrowed
the definition of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat
(ESHA). Now determination of ESHA for rare species
is limited to ―historic habitat‖ for that species, but it is
not clear how these supposedly historic parameters are
to be determined. The Commission staff may have
been trying to discount populations of rare species that
lack long-term viability. Such populations do occur in
the wild, but the Commission‘s language is such that it
can be broadly interpreted to include even viable
populations. Then again, the Commission‘s staff and
budget also received drastic cuts from the Governor‘s
office. Maybe the staffer who came up with this new
interpretation was just trying to streamline the work of
too few people trying to review too many projects.
Still, this is not the way to handle sensitive coastal
resources. We haven‘t heard the last on this one!
State CNPS News
The September quarterly state meeting has
historically been focused on conservation issues. This
year‘s meeting in San Diego was more of a mixed bag.
We did have some excellent presentations and
discussion on renewable energy in the desert. I hope
everyone read the excellent follow-up pieces in the
State Bulletin. We can have our energy and our desert
ecosystems, too!
New ►The state office has initiated the splendid online
E-News. It comes out monthly with the latest on
conservation, legislation and other issues related to
native plants. Now we need not wait three months to
find out what‘s going on! To sign up, just email the
CNPS Development Director, Jack Tracy:
jtracey@cnps.org, and he will put you on the
distribution list. The latest issue has some very
interesting items, and even some hopeful news about
good legislation!

 DKY 2009 Plant Sales—Success!!

The weather was perfect, the plants were lush, and the customers were in a
mood to buy. The DKY 2009 Plant Sales grossed just under $3,000—
compared with $2090 in 2008 and $2317 in 2007. A MAJOR improvement
was the new plant signs created by Lori Hubbart—interesting planting
information in an easy-to-understand format along with a lovely photograph of
the plant, laminated and placed in metal frames. Lori did it all, and the signs
were not only beautiful, they were wonderfully
informative. People really took time to read
them, so even people who didn‘t buy anything
learned something about our native plants.
Lori and Mario Abreu grew most of the plants.
Mostly Natives and California Flora Nurseries

purchased, and Ken Montgomery of Anderson

 Garden Notes – Fall Planting Hints and Factoids
by Lori Hubbart
If you got plants from our plant sale or elsewhere,
now is the time to plant them. Here are some things to
consider.
Matilija poppy,
Romneya coulteri
– This showy
poppy relative,
from Santa
Barbara to San
Diego County, is
a big herbaceous
perennial, and
Romneya coulteri. Photo © Rick quite deer-
York and CNPS resistant. When
you transplant it,
take great care not to disturb its roots. Slip it into its
planting hole so it doesn‘t know it has been moved.
This plant needs good drainage and as much sun as it
can get, so planting on a slope is fine. It may take a
couple of years to ―get established‖ but once it decides
to stay, it will start sending out tenacious roots – this is
a spreader. Luckily our cool coastal climate restrains
its growth somewhat. When it starts to put on growth it
will need to be cut back in fall or early winter.
Otherwise, it will keep making long canes that will flop
over and look unsightly. Romneya makes a great cut
flower, and you can use it to teach kids about water
uptake in plants by putting the cut flower stems in test
tubes of colored water. In a few hours your big white
poppy flowers will be delicately tinted blue, pink, green,
etc.
Island bush poppy, Dendromecon harfordii – Bush
poppy (this one is from our Channel Islands) is a woody
shrub in the poppy family. It is a fire follower in nature,
and sometimes you can see whole hillsides decorated
with its yellow flowers a few years after a wildfire. Like
Romneya, bush poppy does best when its roots are not
disturbed during planting out. Unlike Romneya, it is
sometimes eaten by deer. It tolerates some nibbling,
since it is a fire-adapted chaparral plant. Indeed, it
benefits from periodic pruning to shape and renew it.
Bush poppy can be in bloom from spring on through the
summer. It does best in the sun with good drainage
and not too much water.
Manzanitas, Arctostaphylos species – manzanitas
come in many shapes and sizes, from groundcovers to
large shrubs. They all thrive in acidic, nutrient-poor
soils. Never apply compost or fertilizer to a manzanita,
and if you must mulch around them, keep the mulch
well away from the trunk of the plant. Gravel or other
inorganic mulches are best. Manzanitas are in the
heath family, the Ericaceae, and are subject to a host of
4 November - December ‗09
diseases caused by various pathogens. You can keep
them healthy by providing the right kind of soil, good
drainage, minimal watering, no overhead watering and
avoiding adding nutrients which would induce succulent
new growth that would attract pathogens. Manzanita
flowers are essential sources of nectar for
hummingbirds in the winter and early spring.
Buckwheat, Eriogonum species – Our native
buckwheats are related to the edible buckwheat,
Fagopyrum esculentum, a broadleaf plant and not a
true grain. Buckwheats often look better in the ground
than in containers and will do well mulched with gravel.
They need good drainage and are drought tolerant.
The inland rosemary buckwheat, E. fasciculatum, is a
tough shrub, great for hot, dry, difficult spots. Its
broader-leafed cousin, the coast buckwheat, E.
latifolium, is also more of a whitish-gray color. The
coast buckwheat is the larval host plant for the dainty
green hairstreak butterfly, but only on the bluffs. The
butterfly doesn‘t seem to lay its eggs far inland. The
larvae are very small and bright green. The butterfly is
like a tiny, emerald green gem-on-the-wing. Seeing
one makes the day very special!
Pitcher sage, Lepechinia species – This year we
sold the local pitcher sage, L. calycina, and the
southern pitcher
sage, L. fragrans.
The latter has fuzzier
leaves and a
stronger aroma,
smelling rather like
grapefruit. It will
need more sun and
excellent drainage,
and may do better a
bit away from the
ocean. L. calycina is
native on our local

ridges, though not Christie.
common around
here. Both species are three to five feet tall, have
plump, tubular flowers of white or lavender, and are
very deer-resistant. They benefit from pruning in fall.
Sages, Salvia species – Most California sages are
shrubs, a few are herbaceous, and they are all
wonderful. The shrubby species are closely related to
the Mediterranean culinary sage, and some have been
used in cooking. Each type has its own special flavor,
and you can smell the difference. Sonoma sage smells
different from black sage, which smells different from
Brandegee‘s sage. The shrubby sages are very deer-
resistant. White sage, S. apiana, is native to hot, dry
places and does best away from the immediate coast. Perennials
Its leaves are far too pungent for deer or for cooking, Angelica hendersonii coast angelica
though it has been used for smudge sticks. A lovely Carex species sedges
perennial is hummingbird sage, S. spathacea. Its Aquilegia formosa columbine
leaves are fuzzy and sweetly scented, and hummers Deschampsia caespitosa tufted hairgrass
love its magenta flowers on stout stalks. It isn‘t quite as Eriogonum latifolium coast buckwheat
resistant to deer as its shrubby cousins, and Erysimum menziesii ssp. concinnum
appreciates a bit of water during the summer. Send Festuca rubra ‘Jughandle’ red fescue

 New Book on Mosses
The CNPS website has announced the publication of California Mosses, which can be purchased online at
CNPS.org.
California Mosses
By Bill and Nancy Malcolm, Jim Shevock, and Dan Norris
430 pages, 6 x 8.75 inches, Hardcover,
Micro-Optics Press, Nelson, New Zealand, 2009
ISBN 978-0-9582224-5-2. Price $68.00

This is the season when we celebrate mushrooms on the north coast, but it is also
the best time to appreciate the mosses in our area. Mosses are important to the
vascular plants in our flora. They provide a moist and protective bed for seeds of native
annuals and have antibacterial properties and are unpalatable to insect pests. Mosses
have the remarkable ability to suspend life when water is lacking, becoming completely
desiccated, and to quickly rehydrate and start operating once water is available again.
California is rich in number of moss species, with more than 600 known, in 176 genera,
and many more to be discovered. The guide contains over 2,200 color photographs
and 1,100 line drawings illustrating all but five of the state‘s moss species.
The photographs are the work of New Zealand botanists Bill and Nancy Malcolm.
They are the authors and photographers of the glossary, Mosses and Other Bryophytes. Jim Shevock is better
known to CNPSers as being an avid plant collector and one of the most knowledgeable botanists about the flora of
the southern Sierra Nevada. His plant collections document many range extensions and dozens of new species.
Jim has been tireless in leading CNPS field trips and workshops. He spent more than 30 years in public service
working for the USDA Forest Service and the National Park Service. He is currently a research associate with the
Department of Botany, California Academy of Sciences and the University Herbarium, UC Berkeley. In the 1990s he
turned his amazing skill to bryophytes. Dan Norris taught bryology for 24 years at Humboldt State University. He
has made more than 110,000 collections of bryophytes and is also an associate at UC. Studying mosses requires
infinite patience and attention to detail, but as I am sure this book will show, these jewels of the plant world are
definitely worth it.—Nancy Morin

The Second Edition of A Manual of California Vegetation

By John O. Sawyer, Todd Keeler-Wolf, and Julie M. Evens

1312 pages, 352 Maps, 7.375 x 9.25 inches, ISBN 978-0-943460-49-9

Price $82.00; available directly from the California Native Plant Society Sales
Department at (916)-447-2677 x. 204 or on the web from www.cnps.org

A Manual of California Vegetation, published in 1995, is widely accepted as the

standard for classifying the state‘s vegetation. CNPS is pleased to announce
the release of the Second Edition of A Manual of California Vegetation. This
completely updated edition features more than twice the number of vegetation
descriptions as the original MCV and includes 352 vegetation maps; definitions
and characteristic plants for over 430 native vegetation alliances; keys to
differentiate groups of related vegetation types; specifics on rarity and
importance values of the vegetation; accounts of 33 non-native vegetation types
that are threatening natural landscapes; data on fire, flooding, and other natural
processes; and information on restoration and other management
considerations. The MCV provides a systematic approach to classifying and
describing vegetation in California, providing definitions, descriptions, and maps that enable more definitive
assessments of extent, location, rarity, and threats to these natural communities.
