SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE A SYSTEMATIC AND ECOLOGICAL STUDY OF DELPHINIUM LUTEUM HELLER (RANUNCULACEAE) Thesis [or Project] by Edward O. Guerrant, Jr. ABSTRACT Purpose of the Study: Delphinium luteum, the yellow-flowered larkspur, is a narrlowly restricted endemic consisting of two small populations near Bodega Bay, Sonoma County. Early workers suggested that this taxon is most closely related to the widespread red-flowered D. nudicaule. Munz and others report that the blue-flowered D. decorum occasionally hybridizes in nature with D. nudicaule, giving rise to individuals with flowers ranging from purple to yellow. The purpose of this study is to determine evolutionary position of D. luteum within the tuberiform series of the genus Delphinium. Procedure: To determine the evolutionary affinities of D. luteum, this study has used a combination of ecological, chemical (nectar constituents, floral and foliar pigments), and morphological information. In addition, chromosomes were counted, hybridation and pollinator exclosure experiments were conducted, and pollen vector activity was monitored. Findings: Delphinium luteum was found to be intermediate between D. nudicaule and D. decorum in almost every morphological character measured in both absolute values and in the ratios between characters. The three taxa have many nectar constituents, and floral and foliar pigments in common, with D. luteum occupying an intermediate condition. It also occupies a habitat intermediate in many ways between those of D. nudicaule and D. decorum. Conclusions: The two most likely hypotheses to account for the origin of D. luteum are that it was derived solely from D. nudicaule, or that it was derived from hybridization between D. decorum and D. nudicaule. The data do not support the first hypothesis, and offer strong circumstantial evidence that D. luteum had its origin in a series of hybridizations between D. nudicaule and D. decorum.
