The gene-ecology of Crepis nana Richardson and Crepis elegans Hooker in Arctic and Alpine North America

Creator:: Legge, Allan Herbert, 1942-
Abstract:: A gene-ecological transplant study was made on populations of the Crepis nana and C. elegans complex from the Arctic and Alpine of North America. Transplants were collected from the Brooks Range, Eagle Summit, and Alaska Range in Alaska, the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, the Olympic Mountains in Washington, the Wallowa...

A biosystematic study in the genus Aster, section Aster, in western North America

Creator:: Dean, Milton Lee
Abstract:: A biosystematic investigation was undertaken in 15 species and three subspecies of the genus Aster, in western North America. Previous studies had been based entirely on external morphological features, and it was believed that much could be learned about the natural affinities of the taxa by exploring their cytological and...

A revision of Juncus subgenus genuini (Juncaceae) in the Pacific states

Creator:: Lint, Harold LeRoy
Abstract:: A study was made of the subgenus Genuini of the genus Juncus in the Pacific States, California, Oregon and Washington. Extensive morphological comparisons, geographical distributions, habitat differences and observations of apparent presence or absence of natural hybrids provided the major data sources. Cytological studies were made, but were inconclusive. Eleven...

A systematic study of Lathyrus vestitus Nutt. ex T. & G. (Fabaceae) and allied species of the Pacific Coast

Creator:: Broich, Steven L.
Abstract:: Eight species of Lathvrus (Fabaceae, Faboideae) endemic to the Pacific Coast of North America were the subject of a systematic investigation. Taxa studied included Lathvrus vestitus, Nutt. ex T. & G., L. laetif lorus Greene, L.. iepsonii Greene, £,. splendens Kellogg, L. polvphvllus, Nutt. ex T. & G., L. holochlorus...

A biosystematic study of some North American species of Agrostis L. and Podagrostis (Griseb.) Scribn. & Merr.

Creator:: Carlbom, Curt Gerald, 1932-
Abstract:: A taxonomic investigation was made of 24 taxa belonging to the section Trichodium (Michx.) Trin., of Agrostis, and the genus Podagrostis. Experimental methods were employed, including: uniform garden culture of transplants and plants grown from seeds collected in natural populations; breeding studies; physiological and phenological investigations; cytological studies; ecological studies...

Taxonomy of Phacelia section Miltitzia (hydrophyllaceae)

Creator:: Halse, Richard R.
Abstract:: A systematic study was made of the species comprising Phacelia section Miltitzia. These species, which are commonly found in the Great Basin physiographic province of western North America, are distinguished from other members of Phacelia by their yellow, marcescent corollas and their transversely corrugated seeds. This project utilized morphological, cytological,...

Biosystematics of the Mimulus nanus complex in Oregon

Creator:: Ezell, Wayland Lee, 1937-
Abstract:: A biosystematic study was made in seven populations of Mimulus nanus Hook. & Arn. and M. cusickii (Greene) Piper (Scrophulariaceae) in central Oregon, and a taxonomic revision was made of the four species of section Eunanus reported from Oregon--M. nanus, M. cusickii, M. clivicola Greenm. and M. jepsonii Grant. Mimulus...

Systematic and reproductive studies of Mimulus (Scrophulariaceae) in the Pacific Northwest : implications for conservation biology

Creator:: Meinke, Robert James
Abstract:: The Mimulus washingtonensis complex is a group of morphologically similar species centered in the Pacific Northwest. All are rare, and most are under consideration for listing as endangered. Morphometric and pollination data were used in developing a revised taxonomy for the group. Five species and two varieties are recognized. Mimulus...

Biosystematics of a Western North American polyploid complex in the genus aster

Creator:: Guppy, Geraldine Anne Allen
Abstract:: Species relationships were investigated in a western North American polyploid complex in the genus Aster (Asteraceae). A combination of cytological, genetical, chemical, morphological and numerical approaches was employed. Fifteen presently recognized species were included in the study, and populations were sampled throughout most of the range of the group. Living...

Origin and distribution of polyploid Achillea (Compositae) in western North America

Creator:: Tyrl, Ronald J.
Abstract:: A cytogeographical study was made of populations of tetraploid (n=18) and hexaploid (n=27) Achillea millefolium (Compositae- Anthemideae) from the Pacific Coast states. There is a complex distributional pattern, involving overlapping ranges, mixed populations, migration of one form into areas occuplied by the other, pentaploid hybrids, and septaploid and octoploid plants....
