  • 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.

  • Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015)
    Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015) By Richard Henderson Research Ecologist, WI DNR Bureau of Science Services Summary This is a preliminary list of insects that are either well known, or likely, to be closely associated with Wisconsin’s original native prairie. These species are mostly dependent upon remnants of original prairie, or plantings/restorations of prairie where their hosts have been re-established (see discussion below), and thus are rarely found outside of these settings. The list also includes some species tied to native ecosystems that grade into prairie, such as savannas, sand barrens, fens, sedge meadow, and shallow marsh. The list is annotated with known host(s) of each insect, and the likelihood of its presence in the state (see key at end of list for specifics). This working list is a byproduct of a prairie invertebrate study I coordinated from1995-2005 that covered 6 Midwestern states and included 14 cooperators. The project surveyed insects on prairie remnants and investigated the effects of fire on those insects. It was funded in part by a series of grants from the US Fish and Wildlife Service. So far, the list has 475 species. However, this is a partial list at best, representing approximately only ¼ of the prairie-specialist insects likely present in the region (see discussion below). Significant input to this list is needed, as there are major taxa groups missing or greatly under represented. Such absence is not necessarily due to few or no prairie-specialists in those groups, but due more to lack of knowledge about life histories (at least published knowledge), unsettled taxonomy, and lack of taxonomic specialists currently working in those groups.

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.
