The Prairie Potato
Topeka's Roots: the Prairie Potato The word Topeka comes from Indian words meaning a good place to dig potatoes. by Barbara Burgess, Ph. D. http://www.barbburgess.com/research-topics/prairie-potato-topeka/topeka-s-roots-the- prairie-potato Part 1. Topeka - a good place to dig potatoes. Topeka’s roots grow deep in the Kansas soil, and in this case the roots really are roots, known to scientists as Psoralea esculenta and to pioneers and Indians as prairie potatoes or prairie turnips. The word Topeka comes from Indian words meaning a good place to dig potatoes. Founded on December 5, 1854, Topeka was officially named on January 2, 1855. Fry W. Giles, one of the city’s founders, wrote that the Rev. S.Y. Lum proposed the name Topeka on January 1, 1855, and Giles said that the founders of the city chose the name because it was “a name not found in the list of post offices of the United States, nor in any lexicon of the English language. It was novel, of Indian origin and euphonious of sound.” (Giles 27) Giles said they liked the idea of the name being composed of three consonants alternating with 3 vowels and that it was a good name because it should be easy to pronounce. He said that the name was unanimously adopted by the founders of Topeka on January 2, 1855. (Giles 27) While the city’s founders may not have known the meaning of Topeka, they did not invent this word. They may have found the name on the map drawn by missionary Johnston Lykins who drew the map while he was living at the Potawatomi Baptist Mission in 1849. -

Soopolallie (Shepherdia Canadensis) Other Names: Soapberry, Canada Buffaloberry, Russet Buffaloberry
Soopolallie (Shepherdia canadensis) Other names: Soapberry, Canada buffaloberry, Russet buffaloberry. Background Soopolallie is a shrub in the Oleaster family (Elaeagnaceae). Other BC plants in this family include the wolf-willow and the naturalized Russian olive. The name ‘soopolallie’ is from the Chinook language for soap (soop) and berry (olallie) (Parish et al 1996). Plant Morphology Soopolallie is a deciduous shrub 1-2 metres tall with brownish branches that are covered with small brownish-orange scabs. The young branches are covered with many rusty spots, as are the undersides of the leaves. The leaves (sparsely distributed along the branches) are opposite and oval with dark green upper surfaces and silvery-whitish hairs on the under surfaces. The yellowish-brown inconspicuous flowers are borne in clusters on stems, before the leaves open. Male and female flowers are produced on separate plants. The fruits are small, soft, bright red berries that are oval and somewhat translucent. They are juicy and edible but extremely bitter and soapy to touch (Parish et al 1996). Ecology In British Columbia, the soopolallie is widespread and very common at low to subalpine elevations in dry to moist open forests, openings and clearings (Parish et al 1996). It is a transcontinental shrub that occurs sporadically in the pacific region (not at all on the Queen Charlotte Islands) with its occurrence increasing with increasing continentality. It is commonly associated with pinegrass (Calamagrostis rubescens), twinflower (Linnaea borealis), and falsebox (Paxistima myrsinites). Soopolallie has a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen- fixing organisms (Klinka et al 1989). Often, the soopolallie is found on gravelly, shallow soils (Hebda 1995). -

Phylogenetic Relationships in Korean Elaeagnus L. Based on Nrdna ITS Sequences

Based on nrDNA ITS Sequences OGyeong Son1, Chang Young Yoon2 and SeonJoo Park1* 1Department of Life Science, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan 712-749, Korea 2Department of Biotechnology, Shingyeong University, Hwaseon 445-741, Korea Abstract - Molecular phylogenetic analyses of Korean Elaeagnus L. were conducted using seven species, one variety, one forma and four outgroups to evaluate their relationships and phylogeny. The sequences of internal transcribed spacer regions in nuclear ribosomal DNA were employed to construct phylogenetic relationships using maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian analysis. Molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed that Korean Elaeagnus was a polyphyly. E. umbellata var. coreana formed a subclade with E. umbellata. Additionally, the genetic difference between E. submacrophylla and E. macrophylla was very low. Moreover, E. submacrophylla formed a branch from E. macrophylla, indicating that E. submacrophylla can be regarded as a variety. However, several populations of this species were not clustered as a single clade; therefore, further study should be conducted using other molecular markers. Although E. glabra f. oxyphylla was distinct in morphological characters of leaf shape with E. glabra. But E. glabra f. oxyphylla was formed one clade by molecular phylogenetic with E. glabra. Additionally, this study clearly demonstrated that E. pungens occurs in Korea, although it was previously reported near South Korea in Japan and China. According to the results of ITS regions analyses, it showed a resolution and to verify the relationship between interspecies of Korean Elaeagnus. -

Neil Reese South Dakota State University Brookings, SD 57007 ABSTRACT Psoralea esculenta Pursh is an herbaceous perennial legume, native to the Great Plains, that has a tuberous-thickened taproot. Native American popula- tions have long used the roots of this plant as food source. The Psoralea root has a tough outer covering (bark) and a fleshy interior that contains numerous isolated vascular strands. Root tissues from mature and young roots were fixed and embedded in JB-4 plastic. -

THE VASCULAR FLORA OF THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS WALNUT FORMATION Rebecca K. Swadek Tony L. Burgess Texas Christian University Texas Christian University Department of Environmental Science Department of Environmental Science Botanical Research Institute of Texas TCU Box 298830 1700 University Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76129, U.S.A. Fort Worth, Texas 76107-3400, U.S.A. [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Political boundaries frequently define local floras. This floristic project takes a geological approach inspired by Dalea reverchonii (Comanche Peak prairie clover), which is primarily endemic to glades of the Walnut Formation. The Cretaceous Walnut Formation (Comanchean) lies on the drier western edge of the Fort Worth Prairie in North Central Texas. Its shallow limestone soils, formed from alternating layers of hard limestone and clayey marl, support a variety of habitats. Glades of barren limestone typically appear on ridgetops, grassland savannas form on eroding hillslopes, and seeps support diverse hyperseasonal vegetation. Vouchers were collected from January 2010 to June 2012 resulting in 469 infraspecific taxa, 453 species in 286 genera and 79 families. The richest five plant families are Asteraceae (74 taxa), Poa- ceae (73), Fabaceae (34), Euphorbiaceae (18), and Cyperaceae (17). There are 61 introduced species. Results indicate floristic affinities to limestone cedar glades of the Southeastern United States, the Edwards Plateau of Central Texas, and calcareous Apacherian Savannas of Southwestern North America. RESUMEN Las fronteras políticas definen frecuentemente las floras locales. Este proyecto florístico toma una aproximación geológica inspirada en Dalea reverchonii (trébol de la paradera de Comanche Peak), que es primariamente endémico de los claros de la formación Walnut. -

Abstract Administered by the USDA Forest Service, the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands occupy 230,000 acres of public land extending from northeastern New Mexico into the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. A mosaic of topographic features including canyons, plateaus, rolling grasslands and outcrops supports a diverse flora. Eight hundred twenty six (826) species of vascular plant species representing 81 plant families are known to occur on or near these public lands. This report includes a history of the area; ethnobotanical information; an introductory overview of the area including its climate, geology, vegetation, habitats, fauna, and ecological history; and a plant survey and information about the rare, poisonous, and exotic species from the area. A vascular plant checklist of 816 vascular plant taxa in the appendix includes scientific and common names, habitat types, and general distribution data for each species. This list is based on extensive plant collections and available herbarium collections. Authors Donald L.
