RE:
STREAMBANK LUPINE SURVEY, WATKINS CREEK CROSSING,
GISLASON AVE, PORT COQUITLAM, BC
I visited the stream crossing and proposed fish enhancement site at the corner of Gislason Ave. and
Coast Meridian again this morning (Photograph 1) to collect additional data lupine plants. As per our
recent discussions and review of existing data, one or more of these plants may potentially be the
provincially red listed streambank lupine (Lupinus rivularis). Hopefully these data and associated
photographs will facilitate an accurate identification.

Plant Data
The site is at approximately 78 m elevation. UTM location is 10U 517778 5459670.
Five lupine plants were documented. At least two separate species were present, possibly three. Mostly
likely candidates for Lupinus rivularis are Plants 1 and 5 below (Photographs on ftp site, instruction at
end of memo).
Plant 1:

No basal leaves
Structure is somewhat sprawling but likely due to steep slope conditions
Very woody stem at base approx. 1” dia. like a shrub, then woody mid-stem to newest growth
which is hollow
