California Dissanthelium
''Dissanthelium californicum'' (California dissanthelium, Catalina grass) is a rare species of grass in the family Poaceae. It was originally discovered on Santa Catalina, an island off California's coast in 1847 by U.S. botanist and naturalist William Gambel. It was later identified as growing on Guadalupe Island (off Baja California Peninsula), on San Clemente Island and Catalina Island (both off southern California). Last seen in 1912, ''Dissanthelium californicum'' was generally thought to be extinct, until examples were found on March 29, 2005, by Jenny McCune of the Catalina Island Conservancy on Catalina Island. In 2010, two populations were found on San Clemente Island. It has not reappeared on Guadalupe Island.

The various volcanoes are extinct or dormant. In 2005 Guadalupe Island and its surrounding waters and islets were declared a biosphere reserve to restore its vegetation (decimated by feral goats) and to protect its population of marine mammals and birds. The island is a popular destination for great white shark cage diving. Guadalupe Island is inhabited only by scientists, military personnel operating a weather station, and a small group of seasonal fishermen. The island is mostly arid and has very little surface water. The two other Mexican island groups in the Pacific Ocean that are not on the continental shelf are the Revillagigedo Islands and Rocas Alijos. Guadalupe Island and its islets are the westernmost region of Mexico. Discovery a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
