Oregon Vascular Plant Checklist: Asteraceae

 

by Kenton L. Chambers and Scott Sundberg

 

May 2000

 

     The Oregon Vascular Plant Checklist, of which this Asteraceae checklist is a part, is intended as a comprehensive reference for the consistent application of botanical names in Oregon.  The completed Checklist will provide scientific and common names for all taxa (species, subspecies, and varieties) of native and naturalized vascular plants in the state.  Each taxon has been identified as either native or exotic, the latter category including both weeds introduced by human activity and cultivated species that have escaped and are reproducing themselves in the wild.  All included taxa have been verified through at least one voucher specimen in the herbaria housed at Oregon State University (in rare cases, published references to specimens in some other herbaria are cited).  Because various books may differ in the naming of certain Oregon plants, each accepted name in the Checklist is followed by all the alternative scientific names that are found in ten “standard references” (floras and species lists covering all or part of Oregon).  These references are listed below.  There are a number of plant taxa that, although reported to occur in Oregon, are not represented by vouchered herbarium specimens at OSU.  A list of these is given in Appendix A, under the title Excluded Species.  By calling attention to these taxa, and by specifically mentioning when a plant is known from Oregon only by a single herbarium voucher, the authors hope to stimulate other botanists to explore the flora and to report their observations of these and other poorly known native and exotic taxa of vascular plants.

     The working Oregon Vascular Plant Checklist is maintained in a Paradox relational database in the Oregon State University Herbarium.   The Checklist was originally compiled by Karl Urban with assistance from Kenton Chambers, based mainly on published floras and taxonomic literature available in 1989.  More recently, members of the Oregon Vascular Plant Checklist Project (see list of project leaders inside the cover) and invited specialists have been revising this initial list.  Over 30 contributors are involved in writing treatments for the updated Checklist.  In addition, nine members of the Checklist Advisory Board review taxon treatments as they are received.  This Asteraceae checklist was written by Kenton Chambers and Scott Sundberg.  The name of the particular author of each generic treatment can be obtained at the OSU Herbarium web site <http://www.orst.edu/dept/botany/herbarium>, or is available upon request.

     The Asteraceae checklist will be followed by checklists of other Oregon vascular plant families.  When all families have been completed, the lists will be compiled into a single comprehensive volume.  We anticipate that the names of some Oregon Asteraceae will be changed for the final volume, and that additional taxa will very likely be included.  In the period leading up to publication of the Oregon Vascular Plant Checklist, we will be posting supplemental information on the OSU Herbarium web site.

     The Asteraceae is the largest family of vascular plants in Oregon.  The checklist includes 574 taxa belonging to 123 genera and 492 species.  In addition, 542 synonyms (alternative names) are listed.  Over twenty-one percent (124) of the taxa are non-native.  Thirty-three taxa are known from only one collection at Oregon State University, which houses the herbaria of this university (OSC), the University of Oregon (ORE), and Willamette University (WILLU).  Five taxa are known only from old collections on ship ballast in the Portland area.  Genera with the greatest numbers of taxa are Erigeron (48 taxa), Aster (33), Artemisia (31), Senecio (28), Cirsium (20), and Antennaria (19).

 

Online version of the Checklist (http://www.oregonflora.org).

 

     This online version of the Asteraceae checklist includes additions and changes to the June 1998 first printing.  It has been slightly modified from the May 2000 hard copy version.  Changes in Appendix B have been incorporated into the checklist itself with the exceptions of two notes on Aster and Senecio.  This text version of the checklist will only rarely be updated.  The current checklist is in database format and may be accessed in the Oregon Flora Project web site.

 

Checklist Format

 

Accepted name:  Accepted scientific names are listed in italics and boldface.  These consist of Latin names and their botanical authorities.  Authority abbreviations follow Authors of Plant Names (Brummitt & Powell 1992).

Synonym(s):  A select group of synonyms, in italics, follows the accepted name.  These synonyms were treated as accepted names in one or more of the standard references listed below.

Common name(s):  One or two English common names are included for each taxon.  In general, common names were compiled from the standard references; however, a few have been newly composed for use in this Checklist.

Origin:  Plants are considered “native” if they are assumed to have been present in Oregon before the arrival of Euro-American settlers, and are designated as “exotic” if they arrived after that time.  Most exotic species are introduced weeds or ornamental plants which have escaped from cultivation.

Comments: In this part we include notes on hybridization and intergradation, morphological variation, quotations from the literature, justification for inclusion on the list (in rare cases where no vouchers were seen), and miscellaneous observations such as localized occurrences and data on single-vouchered taxa.

Terminology

 

Ballast: Soil, gravel or water used to stabilize ships when they have little or no cargo.  Ballast was dumped in port cities, such as Portland, or the old town Linnton, before cargo was loaded for the return voyage.  Plants new to the state sometimes grew from seeds in the ballast.  Many “ballast plants” did not become established and may have persisted for only one or a few years.

ex: Used between names of two authorities (e.g. Douglas ex Hook., indicating that David Douglas suggested the name in manuscript and that W. J. Hooker validly published the name).

Implied synonyms at the varietal and subspecific level:  In both Peck's Manual (PEK) and Abrams & Ferris’ Illustrated Flora (IL), there are usually no direct citations of the autonym names of "typical" varieties or subspecies within recognized species.  Instead, the genus and species binomial is given, followed by a description of the typical variety or subspecies, and additional vars. and sspp. are then named, each with a description that differentiates it from the typical one.  We consider the autonym names, or typical names, to be “implied” in these cases.

Illegitimate:  Following the name of a synonym, this indicates that the name appears in print but is not in accord with the rules for valid or legitimate publication (see Greuter et al. 1994, International Code of Botanical Nomenclature).

In part in <reference>:  Following the name of a synonym, part of the plants referred to this name in the reference are placed in synonymy here, others are accepted in the Checklist under other names.

Misapplied names:  Names of species occurring in other regions, which in the cited reference are incorrectly applied to Oregon plants.

Orthographic variant (orth.):  Alternative, usually incorrect spelling of a name appearing in a standard reference.

´:  Before a species epithet or between two taxon names, indicates sporadic plants of hybrid origin or a series of hybrid populations which are not considered to be stable and self-reproducing.
