Dr. Justen Whittall will discuss the role of flower color in determining taxonomic boundaries, conservation status and restoration priorities for jewelflowers (Streptant hus sp.) on Coyote Ridge in south San Jose.

They have been investigating the evolutionary and e cological distinctiveness of this controversial taxon. The consistent diffe rences in sepal color and geography between the Metcalf Canyon and most bea utiful jewelflowers support continued recognition of these rarities as dist inct taxa.

Justen has been an Associate Profes sor at Santa Clara University in Biology since 2007. He has expanded his re search to include flower color evolution in arctic mustards (Parrya) and Me diterranean campions (Silene), plus conservation genetics and restoration e cology of Streptanthus and wallflowers (Erysimum).

You may have spotted some of our beautiful jewelflowers on hikes recently - but which one is which? Dr. Just en Whittall will discuss the role of flower color in determining taxonomic boundaries, conservation status and restoration priorities for jewelflowers (Streptanthus sp.) on Coyote Ridge in south San Jose. He will provide upda tes on the “good news” of the reintroduced populations of the white-flowere d Metcalf Canyon jewelflower (S. albidus ssp. albidus) atop Tulare Hill nea rby.

More recently, his team has turned their attention to the c losely related, and comparably rare, pink-flowered most beautiful jewelflow er (Streptanthus albidus ssp. peramoenus). They have been investigating the evolutionary and ecological distinctiveness of this controversial taxon. T he consistent differences in sepal color and geography between the Metcalf Canyon and most beautiful jewelflowers support continued recognition of the se rarities as distinct taxa. Developing a field-ready tool for reliable ta xon identification based on sepal color is his team’s next challenge.
