Document Description
CDFW is issuing a permit to Nadine Kanim pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 2081(a) for a project to use genetic data to quantify the extent of hybridization between the endangered P. hirsuta and the common P. speciosa. The permittee will collect leaves along two to three inch lengths of the stems from up to four putative hybrid individuals at each population where P. hirsuta and P. speciosa co-occur. Leaves will also be collected along two to three-inch lengths of the stems of ten individuals of P. speciosa from each population. The leaves will be sent to Kettering University in Flint, Michigan for genetic analysis.
