Longevity of nonsprouting Ceanothus

Evidence is presented indicating species of Ceanothus in the subgenus Cerastes are generally longer-lived than species in the subgenus Euceanothus. It is proposed that this is due, at least in part, to the unique stem morphology of the former. The stems of these plants have a ribbed appearance which arises when branches die. This longitudinal channeling results in less nonphotosynthetic tissue to

Productivity and flowering of winter ephemerals in relation to Sonoran Desert shrubs

Ephemeral plant biomass and density on a Sonoran Desert hill near Cave Creek, Arizona, vary relative to shrub canopy type and shrub density. Higher shrub density associated with increased elevation appears to decrease both ephemeral biomass productivity and density, while ephemeral growth is enhanced under a shrub canopy if it is not too dense or low-hanging. Phenology of ephemerals on the desert
