In The Beginning, Lee W. Lenz
In The Beginning, Lee W. Lenz
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
This article traces the early history of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, California, starting ca. 1867 with the Portolà Expedition. The expedition was the first to record the site where the botanic garden later came to be located, in Santa Ana Canyon, northeastern Orange County. Successive changes in land ownership eventually led to the Bixby family purchasing the land in 1875. Susanna Bixby Bryant, the founder of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, acquired the land in 1925.
The Awakening Years, Lee W. Lenz
The Awakening Years, Lee W. Lenz
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
This article sketches the horticultural climate of southern California in ca. 1900–1930, documenting a rising interest in California native plants. Influential figures in the realm of California botany and horticulture are introduced, especially Theodore Payne. Pomona College, Claremont, expresses an interest in the establishment of a botanical garden.

The Formative Years, Lee W. Lenz
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
Letters exchanged between Susanna Bixby Bryant, the founder of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, and several leading southern California botanists and horticulturalists (especially Ernest Braunton, Willis Linn Jepson, and Theodore Payne) in 1925–1926 document her steps toward creating a botanical garden devoted to the native California flora.
An Independent Institution, Lee W. Lenz
An Independent Institution, Lee W. Lenz
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
Covering the period from approximately 1927 to 1947, this article deals with the management and running of the fledgling Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, featuring the publication of botanical and horticultural papers, the founding of the journal El Aliso, and detailed accounts of field work devoted to the collection of plants for the living collection and herbarium. This period of time also saw several challenges, notably serious damage from a wildfire in 1943, wartime constraints, and the death of the founder and managing director of the garden, Susanna Bixby Bryant.
The Botanic Garden Moves, Lee W. Lenz
The Botanic Garden Moves, Lee W. Lenz
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
In 1950, the decision was taken to relocate Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden from its original site—Mrs. Susanna Bixby Bryant's ranch in Santa Ana Canyon, northeastern Orange County—to today's Claremont location in eastern Los Angeles County. The move reflected a wish to align the founder's mandate to "foster scientific research and public welfare" by seeking affiliation with the Claremont Colleges. The change enabled it to train graduate students in botany and related fields and draw more visitors to a garden devoted to native California plants. Accounts describe how the new site was adapted to its purpose, including the construction of …

The Years 1960–1977, Lee W. Lenz
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
In the years 1960–1977, Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden fully embraces its role as teaching institution and as advocate and guardian of the native California flora. Expansion of the living collection, landscaping of the grounds, public education, herbarium and library activities, and publication output are detailed. To accommodate a growing number of graduate students, the faculty—consisting of Richard K. Benjamin, Sherwin Carlquist, and Lee. W. Lenz—is joined by Peter H. Raven, Ronald Scogin, John P. Simon, and Robert F. Thorne.

Epilogue, Lee W. Lenz
Epilogue, Lee W. Lenz
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
Factors that may have been decisive in turning Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden into a successful establishment of botanical teaching and a garden devoted to the conservation and showcasing of the native California flora are put forward. In addition to the enthusiasm and tenacity of its founder, Susanna Bixby Bryant, inspiration and advice came from several other key figures, notably Carl Brandt Wolf, Ernest Braunton, Willis Linn Jepson, and Theodore Payne.
The Botanic Garden—A Reality, Lee W. Lenz
The Botanic Garden—A Reality, Lee W. Lenz
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
The year 1927 marks the beginning of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden at its original location in Santa Ana Canyon, northeastern Orange County, California. Letters exchanged between Susanna Bixby Bryant, the botanic garden founder, and various botanists and horticulturalists trace her efforts to obtain seed and planting stock, herbarium specimens, and books and periodicals for her library. Much discussion is devoted to the question of how to fill the position of Scientific Director.

B735: Ectomycorrhizae Of Maine 1: A Listing Of Boletaceae With The Associated Hosts, Richard L. Homola, Paul A. Mistretta
Bulletins
Forty-nine boletes have been collected and identified with their possible ectomycorrhizal associates for Maine. Most of the boletes are new reports for Maine. Acer negundo is a new host report for Boletinellus merulioides. Most of the ectomycorrhizal relationships reported here for Maine are confirmed by the work of others. Colored photos of thirty-seven Maine boletes are included.

Comparative Anatomy And Systematics Of Picrodendron, Genus Incertae Sedis, W. John Hayden
Comparative Anatomy And Systematics Of Picrodendron, Genus Incertae Sedis, W. John Hayden
Biology Faculty Publications
This study of the vegetative anatomy of Picrodendron and some of its putative relatives has been undertaken in order better to understand its natural relationships. Despite the number of anatomical studies in the literature (Jadin, 1901; Solereder, 1908; Boas, 1913; Webber, 1936; Heimsch, 1942; Record & Hess, 1943; Metcalfe & Chalk, 1950), our information on the anatomy of Picrodendron is still incomplete· for example, nodal and petiolar anatomy has apparently never been described. Furthermore, with the exception of Record and Hess (1943), who discussed Picrodendron in a family by itself, other anatomists have compared Picrodendron only with members of Simaroubaceae, …
Aquatic Plant Communities Of East-Central Illinois, Randolph Lee Vogel
Aquatic Plant Communities Of East-Central Illinois, Randolph Lee Vogel
Masters Theses
Aquatic plant communities of east-central Illinois were studied during the late summers of 1971 and 1976. Frequencies, relative frequencies and frequency of dominance were calculated for the various taxa. At the pond level, changes in the flora over the 5-year span have taken place, usually consisting of the addition or subtraction of one species. Overall, however, it was found that the aquatic community has remained relatively static, as has the percentage of ponds lacking aquatic plants. Factors influencing distributions and sterility are discussed and it was concluded that all the factors play varying roles, but no one factor or combination …
Cytological Investigations Of Eremosphaera Viridis De Bary, Richard Allen Valentino
Cytological Investigations Of Eremosphaera Viridis De Bary, Richard Allen Valentino
Masters Theses
Eremosphaera viridis de Bary was studied with light microscope techniques to determine the method of cytokinesis and to explain the ontogeny of the membranous ring separating the mature daughter cells in the intact sporangium.
It is proposed that cytokinesis in this organism is phylogenetically advanced and that the separation of mature daughter cells involves the sequential deposition of two cell walls. The first wall develops centripetally by the addition of membrane subunits. The resulting cleavage furrow is oriented by transverse microtubules found along the cell division plane. The newly formed walls separate the two daughter cells and give rise to …
