These spiny succulents — which share many of the same arid habitats — have long been a source of fascination for explorers, naturalists, and scientists. Botanist, writer, and photographer Stephen Ingram traveled more than 30,000 miles — much of it on remote back roads — to search out, study, and photograph these amazing plants. His multimedia presentation explores some of their unique attributes and high- lights what makes them such intriguing components of our na- tive plant communities. With stunning images of their colorful blossoms and unusual growth forms, this program showcases a number of species and varieties that occur in California’s deserts and coastal areas. Following the presentation, Stephen will sign copies of his new book from Cachuma Press, Cacti, Agaves, and Yuccas of California and Nevada. Stephen Ingram is a native Californian with a long-time interest in plants and plant ecology. He received a BS degree in biology from Lewis and Clark College, and an MA degree in botany from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Following graduate school, Stephen was employed in the research department at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida, managing the herbarium and working on an epiphyte flora of Monteverde, Costa Rica. He has also worked as a botanical consultant doing rare plant surveys in the eastern Sierra and the Mojave Desert. Stephen is past president of the Bristlecone Chapter of the California Native Plant Society. His photos have been used in numerous books, magazines, and calendars. East Bay CNPS membership meetings are free of charge and open to everyone. This month’s meeting takes place in the Garden Room continued on page 2 continued from page 1 MEMBERSHIP MEETING of the Orinda Public Library at 24 Orinda Way (in Orinda Village). The Garden Room is on the second floor of the building, acces- sible by stairs or an elevator. The Garden Room will open at 7:00 pm; the meeting begins at 7:30 pm. Refreshments will be served after the presentation, and copies of Cacti, Agaves, and Yuccas of California and Nevada will be available for purchse. Please contact Sue Rosenthal, 510-496-6016 or rosacalifornica@earthlink.net, if you have any questions. Directions to Orinda Public Library at 24 Orinda Way: From the west, take Highway 24 to the Orinda/Moraga exit. At the end of the offramp, turn left on Camino Pablo (toward Orinda Village), right on Santa Maria Way (the signal after the BART sta- tion and freeway entrance), and left on Orinda Way. From the east, take Highway 24 to the Orinda exit. Follow the ramp to Orinda Village. Turn right on Santa Maria Way (the first YES ON MEASURE WW Letter to East Bay CNPS Members Regarding Measure WW On August 5 the East Bay Regional Park District Board of Directors took the final step to place Measure WW on the November 4 ballot. Measure WW is an extension of Measure AA, the successful park bond passed by Alameda and Contra Costa County voters in 1988 that has provided funding during the past 20-years to preserve 34,000 acres of open space, acquire 17 new Regional Parks, and add 15 new Regional Trails. The East Bay Chapter Board of CNPS has endorsed the measure as critical to conserving remaining lands that hold important populations of native plant species and native plant communities in our two-county area. Through our chapter’s work on the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan, the Priority Plant Protection Areas, and other key projects, we have identified lands with native plant resources that are on the list of potential acquisition sites with funds generated by Measure WW. These include such critical sites as the Dublin Hills, Duarte Canyon, North Richmond Wetlands, Point Edith Wetlands, Point Molate, Byron Vernal Pools, Concord Naval Weapons Station, Doolan Canyon, and Deer Valley. If Measure WW is approved by the voters, the extended park bond will be used, during the next 20-years, to restore urban creeks; pur- chase and save additional open space, wetlands, and bay shoreline; provide additional funding for parks to help implement the East Contra Costa Habitat Conservation Plan; and allow the District to acquire parklands to keep pace with our growing population that will reach 3 million residents in the next 20-years. That’s why our chapter board voted in September to endorse Measure WW. For a complete listing of the proposed Park District’s 67 timely park and trail projects and an overall Measure WW budget go to either the Campaign’s webpage at www.yesforparks.org, or the District’s webpage at www.ebparks.org. signal) and left on Orinda Way. Once on Orinda Way, go 1 short block to the parking lot on the southeast side of the new 2-story building on your right. There is additional free parking beneath the building as well as on the street. From BART (4 blocks): Exit the Orinda station, turn right and cross a pedestrian bridge, then cross a second pedestrian bridge on the left. Go 1 short block on the sidewalk to the third pedestrian bridge. Go 2 blocks on Orinda Way to the Orinda Library. Upcoming Programs Wednesday, November 19, 7:30 pm (in the Garden Room of the Orinda Public Library): Bonnie Gisel and Stephen Joseph — Nature’s Beloved Son: Redis- covering John Muir’s Botanical Legacy The natural and cultural resources found in today’s regional parks, whether a rare plant, wild animal, a spectacular wildflower display, chaparral slope, bedrock mortar, historic site, panoramic vista, or a secluded meadow are all public treasures. Ninety percent of district parklands are undeveloped, forming habitat for native plants, wildlife, and the expansive open space areas that visitors and CNPS members so enjoy. Numerous park sites also contain protected species of plants or animals listed as rare, threatened, or endangered, as are protected Native American sites that contain rock art, burials, or village sites. While the Park District has accomplished much over the past 74-years, there is a lot more to do. The District’s updated master plan map identifies several locations for possible new regional parklands and trails that are currently unfunded. In addition to the sites mentioned above, they include the Alameda Naval Air Station, Altamont/Tesla Open Space, Bethany Reservoir, Cedar Mountain, Delta Access, Delta Recreation Area, Pittsburg- Antioch Shoreline, Oakland Shoreline, and Rancho Pinole. The master plan map also includes a full listing of the 83 trail links (some already developed and some yet to be acquired) that will be necessary to complete the districts regional trail system. Best of all, Measure WW will not increase our tax rate, it simply retains the current tax rate set by the 1988 bond measure of a maxi- mum of $10 per year per $100,000 assessed valuation (i.e. a home assessed at $400,000 will pay $40 a year as it does currently). We hope CNPS members will join us in supporting and voting yes for Measure WW on November 4.

For the more adventurous, a second group may go down A TRIP TO DILLER CANYON On a late August weekend this year, three of us traveled from the East Bay to hike to an elevation of 9,200 feet in Diller Canyon on Shastina, the subsidiary peak that forms the west flank of Mount Shasta. Our purpose was to search for Botrychium pumicola, a rare fern whose only record from California is a single collection from this site in 1941. Tom Madsen, Mike Park and myself met up with Ranger Eric White and local enthusiast Paul Nutt in Shasta City. Eric was extremely helpful in providing and driving a four-wheel drive vehicle to get us to out starting elevation above 7,000 feet. The five of us set out up the canyon, and the accompanying photo- graphs show some of the terrain we encountered. Needless to say, we did not find Botrychium pumicola, but given that Botrychiums are notoriously fickle in their appearance year by year, we remain hopeful that it may still be there. We believe that we reached the original site, but this year there had been less of a snow pack than normal, in contrast to 1941, which was a very heavy snow year. Possible habitat for B. pumicola in the pumice and low conifers is seen in this view of Shastina from the treeline. Photo by John Game Hiking up Diller Canyon Photo by John Game the loop trail to remove Myosotis and Delairea. Bring tools and gloves, although we have a few of each to loan if needed. Bring water, but we will also have some on hand if needed. Janet Gawthrop Later in the weekend, we did see the more widespread Botrychium simplex at Panther Meadows, as well as the very rare (in California) Botrychium pinnatum (see photo). Then we traveled to the nearby Salmon Mountains west of Etna to see Botrychium multifidum and B. virginianum, which are now placed is separate genera by many botanists. The genus Botrychium and its close relatives contain many of the rarest ferns in California, with as many as six ad- ditional species being newly found or recognized as here since the Jepson Manual was published in 1993.. B. pumicola is of special interest, since elsewhere it is known only from the Crater Lake area and a few other sites in Oregon. The single Californian collection has recently been examined in detail by Don Farrar at Iowa State University, who has confirmed its identity beyond doubt. Let’s hope for a wet winter so that we can perhaps rediscover it for ourselves next year!
