Lesquerella

* Biobased motor oils made from the fatty acids of canola, lesquerella, and other oilseed crops that have received American Petroleum Institute certification.

Growth and yield characteristics of Lesquerella fendleri as a function of plant density.

Some recently reclassified species include the Florida population of the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus), the Gila trout (Oncorhynchus gilae), and the Missouri bladderpod (Lesquerella filiformis).

Reproductive success increases with local density of conspecifics in the desert mustard Lesquerella fendleri.

Examples include Tennessee milk-vetch (Astragalus tennesseensis), water locust (Gleditsia aquatica), Amazon sprangletop (Leptochloa panicoides), Lesquereux's mustard (Lesquerella globosa), cylindric-fruited seedbox (Ludwigia glandulosa), plains muhlenbergia (Muhlenbergia cuspidata), glade mallow (Napaea dioica), Canada burnet (Sanguisorba canadensis), Forbes' saxifrage (Saxifraga forbesii), and woodland pinkroot (Spigelia marilandica).

Examples of monitoring efforts include intense demographic monitoring for Astragalus bibullatus; population size/condition monitoring for Lesquerella stonensis, Pityopsis ruthii, Conradina verticillata and Lesquerella perforata; and presence/absence monitoring for Arabis perstellata and Spiraea virginiana.

Very long chain and hydroxylated fatty acids in offspring of somatic hybrids between Brassica napus and Lesquerella fendleri.

The use of vegetable oils such as linseed (flaxseed), tung, lunaria, lesquerella, crambe, rapeseed, castor, veronia, etc., to produce polymers is not new.

While Greenlee and Callaway (1996) reported negative effects of bunchgrasses on a rare Lesquerella species in a wet year and facilitation during a relatively dry year, Casper (1996) has found that drought did not intensify either positive or negative interactions between Chihuahuan desert shrubs and the herbaceous perennial Cryptantha flava.

Another recent discovery, Lesquerella tuplashensis, as well as a new plant called Eriogonum codium, were found not long ago thriving on the grounds of Washington's Hanford Nuclear Reservation.

A Lesquerella mustard in Colorado bears the species name vicina, meaning neighborly.
