The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has been publishing the scientific journal California Fish and Game for 100 years! This year, to commemorate their centennial, CDFW is publishing four special issues, including one dedicated to native plants. The idea for an all-plants issue arose during a conversation between CDFW Director Charlton H. Bonham and CNPS Executive Director Dan Gluesenkamp about CDFW’s desire for the 100th anniversary issues to be special. The plant issue (Vol. 100, Issue 1) includes the description of a newly discovered species of plant, Silene krantzii, endemic to the San Bernardino Mountains. This issue is available online, free of charge, at the link at the bottom of the article. Youll see that many CNPSers- both staff and volunteers- contributed their knowledge to this special edition!
