A number of nomenclatural changes were required for the presentation of the descriptive resource inventory of vascular plants of British Columbia. Documentation and discussion of these changes are presented. Additional notes and discussion are provided for some taxa presenting unusual problems in the British Columbia vascular plant flora, and several new taxa are described.

A study of the vegetation of the Nanoose – Bonell salt marsh, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, was conducted during the period of May – September 1978. A total of 49 species of vascular plants was identified, 10 of which dominated the flora of the estuarine marsh. Six of those dominant species (Distichlis spicata, Glaux maritima, Salicornia virginica, Triglochin maritimum, Plantago maritima, and Atriplex patula) are tolerant of high salinities. Eight plant communities were identified and mapped within the study area. Aerial biomass was dominated by that of the Carex – channel edge community with a peak aboveground biomass of 1259 g dry weight/m2. Major factors affecting the occurrence and distribution of species within the marsh were salinity of the inundating water, elevation of the marsh platform, and soil texture.

The pre-Cenozoic bryophyte fossil record is significantly sparser than that of vascular plants or Cenozoic bryophytes. This situation has been traditionally attributed to a hypothesized low preservation potential of the plants. However, instances of excellent pre-Cenozoic bryophyte preservation and the results of experiments simulating fossilization contradict this traditional interpretation, suggesting that bryophytes have good preservation potential. Studies of an anatomically preserved Early Cretaceous (Valanginian) plant fossil assemblage on Vancouver Island (British Columbia), at Apple Bay, focusing on the cryptogamic flora, have revealed an abundant bryophyte component. The Apple Bay flora hosts one of the most diverse bryophyte assemblages worldwide, with at least nine distinct moss types (polytrichaceous, leucobryaceous, tricostate), one complex thalloid liverwort, and two other thalloid plants (representing bryophyte or pteridophyte gametophytes), which contribute a significant fraction of biodiversity to the pre-Cenozoic fossil record of bryophytes. These results (i) corroborate previous observations and studies, indicating that the preservation potential of bryophytes is much better than traditionally thought; (ii) indicate that the bryophyte fossil record is incompletely explored and many more bryophyte fossils are hidden in the rock record, awaiting discovery; and (iii) suggest that the paucity of the pre-Cenozoic bryophyte fossil record is primarily a reflection of inadequate paleobryological capacity.

A comprehensive inventory of the vascular plants is provided for the alpine zone of Teresa Island in Atlin Provincial Park, British Columbia. A total of 161 taxa were identified from collections made during a research program conducted in the summers of 1974, 1975, and 1976. Of these taxa Arnica louiseana var. frigida, Draba lactea, Lupinus kuschei, Oxytropis huddelsonii, Poa lettermanii, Senecio sheldonensis, Senecio yukonensis, and Stellaria longipes var. edwardsii have a restricted or otherwise interesting distribution in British Columbia.Preliminary observations indicate that the local distribution of all the taxa is controlled by three environmental gradients: snow duration, moisture, and topography. Five different alpine habitat types are recognized as a result of different combinations of these gradients. These habitat types are (1) fell-fields and boulder fields, (2) meadows and shrub fields, (3) snow beds, (4) seepage sites, and (5) drainage areas. The habitat types and relative abundance of each taxon are listed.
