Memorandum to: Brian Klinkenberg Rose Klinkenberg From

I visited the stream crossing and proposed fish enhancement site at the corner of Gislason Ave. and Coast Meridian again this morning (Photograph 1) to collect additional data lupine plants. As per our recent discussions and review of existing data, one or more of these plants may potentially be the provincially red listed streambank lupine (Lupinus rivularis). Hopefully these data and associated photographs will facilitate an accurate identification.

Plant Data

Five lupine plants were documented. At least two separate species were present, possibly three. Mostly likely candidates for Lupinus rivularis are Plants 1 and 5 below (Photographs on ftp site, instruction at end of memo).

Plant 1:

• 
  No basal leaves
  
• 
  Structure is somewhat sprawling but likely due to steep slope conditions
  
• 
  Very woody stem at base approx. 1” dia. like a shrub, then woody mid-stem to newest growth which is hollow
  
• 
  Stem is very slightly hairy
  
• 
  7-9 leaflets per leaf
  
• 
  Leaflets have fine hairs beneath and none to very slightly hairy on upper surface, fine hairlike point at tip
  
• 
  Relatively short petioles, petioles branching singly from stem
  
• 
  Very few flowers left, blue, no hair on banner, possible very slight fuzz at edges
  
• 
  Seed pods dry, open and mottled
