  • Dotted Gayfeather Is a Good Addition to a Sunny Flower Garden Or a Prairie Planting for Its Long Lasting Purple Color in Late Summer and Early Fall
    Plant Fact Sheet depending on the time of year collected. Although DOTTED widely distributed over the prairies, gayfeather is not mentioned widely as a food source of native people. GAYFEATHER The Lakota pulverized the roots of gayfeather and ate them to improve appetite. For heart pains they Liatris punctata Hook. powdered the entire plant and made a tea. The Plant Symbol = LIPU Blackfeet boiled the gayfeather root and applied it to swellings. They made a tea for stomach aches, but Contributed by: USDA NRCS Plant Materials Center sometimes just ate the root raw instead. The Pawnee Manhattan, Kansas boiled the root and leaves together and fed the tea to children with diarrhea. The Omaha powdered the root and applied it as a poultice for external inflammation. They also made a tea from the plant to treat abdominal troubles. The roots were also used as a folk medicine for sore throats and as a treatment for rattle snake bite. Horticultural: Gayfeather plants are becoming more popular for ornamental uses, especially fresh floral arrangements and winter bouquets. The inflorescences make good long lasting cut flowers. If spikes are picked at their prime and allowed to dry out of the sun, they will retain their color and can be used in dried plant arrangements. Dotted gayfeather is a good addition to a sunny flower garden or a prairie planting for its long lasting purple color in late summer and early fall. This species also offers promise for roadside and rest stop beautification projects in the Great Plains region.

  • Providing for Pollinators: Conserving and Integrating Natural Habitats to Support Pollinator Conservation Efforts
    Providing for pollinators: conserving and integrating natural habitats to support pollinator conservation efforts by Jessica Nicole Butters B.A., Central College, 2017 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Entomology College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2021 Approved by: Major Professor Tania Kim Copyright © Jessica Nicole Butters 2021. Abstract Pollinators have been in decline for at least the past four decades due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification. Natural pollinator habitat, such as tallgrass prairies, have shrunk to less than 10% of their original extent. Because over one-third of food crops are completely pollinator-dependent, we are under the threat of food instability if pollinator decline is not stabilized and improved. Additionally, little work has been done in terms of understanding how different land management strategies, such as fire rotations or native flower plantings, impact different groups of pollinators, such as bees and butterflies. In an effort to address these issues, I implemented a two-year study on the impact of conservation and ecological intensification strategies on pollinators. My objectives were to 1) understand how fire and grazing management on a prairie reserve impacts the pollinator community and 2) examine how land managers can attract and provide for pollinators in an agricultural setting through the implementation of perennial border crops. For my first objective, I found that bison grazing had positive effects on nearly all pollinators, from lepidopterans to ground-nesting bees, while different fire rotations had both positive and negative effects on pollinators through different pathways.

  • Chapter 1 Overview of Planning
    PO BWSR FEATURED PLANT MINNESOTA LIATRIS SPECIES Family: Aster Publication Date: 2-25-14 Also known as “Blazingstars” and “Gayfeather”, liatris species are some of the best known Minnesota wildflowers. Five species grow in the state, providing options for establishment in a wide range of moisture conditions and project types. They are commonly used in lakeshores, prairies, wet meadows and raingardens where they add beauty as well as ecological function. Liatris species act as butterfly magnets, attracting large numbers of monarchs, swallowtails, painted ladies, skippers, and sulfurs among others. Their flowers start blooming at the top of the stalk in mid-summer and progress downward over the course of a few weeks. Identification Liatris have flower heads with clusters of pink to purple flowers arranged in Monarch on Liatris aspera photo by Dave Hanson spikes or racemes (branching flower heads) and linear leaves. Plant height and the characteristics of flower clusters can vary among species. The following species are arranged by plant height from tallest to shortest. Liatris pycnostachya - (Prairie Blazing Star) Up to 5 feet tall, dense spike up to 18 inches, 4-18 flowers per head with pinkish-red bracts that are narrow, pointed, and curving. Liatris aspera - (Rough Blazing Star) Up to 4 feet tall, loose spike up to 18 inches, 16- 35 flowers per head with rounded bracts that have jagged edges.

Brentwood Blvd. St. Louis, Missouri 63144 [email protected] JUSTIN R. THOMAS Institute of Botanical Training, LLC 111 County Road 3260 Salem, Missouri 65560 [email protected] ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the 2,961 vascular taxa comprising the flora of Missouri is presented, with conservatism rankings for Floristic Quality Assessment. The list also provides standardized acronyms for each taxon and information on nativity, physiognomy, and wetness ratings. Annotated comments for selected taxa provide taxonomic, floristic, and ecological information, particularly for taxa not recognized in recent treatments of the Missouri flora. Synonymy crosswalks are provided for three references commonly used in Missouri. A discussion of the concept and application of Floristic Quality Assessment is presented. To accurately reflect ecological and taxonomic relationships, new combinations are validated for two distinct taxa, Dichanthelium ashei and D. werneri , and problems in application of infraspecific taxon names within Quercus shumardii are clarified.

This BpS comprises the eastern half of MZ34 in ECOMAP sections 332F and 315C. This type occurs in the western half of MZ32 and in the northern half of MZ35 (west of Interstate-35). Biophysical Site Description This type occurs on sandy loam, loamey, or clayey upland sites of the southern Great Plains. In Texas and Oklahoma, elevations range from 915-275m (Wright and Bailey 1982). Precipitation ranges from 20-28in (Wright and Bailey 1982), although mixedgrass can occur on sites with up to 32in, and occurs mostly from May through September. Vegetation Description Historically, vegetation was generally dominated by midgrass, with some areas occupied by tallgrasses or short grasses, as an effect of grazing, edaphic and topographic conditions. (Species in order of dominance in boxes.) Dominant species include mostly midgrasses with some mix of tall and short grass - side oats grama (Bouteloua curtipendula), needlegrasses, little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), Bothriochloa barbinodis, Nassella leucotricha and Eragrostis intermedia.

SINGHURST Wildlife Diversity Program Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road Austin, Texas 78744 [email protected] ABSTRACT Pityopsis oligantha , Large-flowered Goldenaster, is documented as new to Texas. The species was encoutered and collected in the West Gulf Coastal Plain Wetland Longleaf Pine Savannah of deep east Texas (Jasper County). KEY WORDS: Asteraceae, Pityopsis , Longleaf Pine savannah, Texas. In the Manual of the Vascular Plants of Texas, Correll and Johnston (1970) included Pityopsis oligantha (Chapm. ex Torr. & A. Gray) Small under the synonym Heterotheca oligantha (Chapm.) Harms within the treatment of that genus. They mentioned that the species was “not yet noted from Tex. but possibly to be encountered [italics inserted] in extreme e. cos.” Doubtless, the “record” of this species in the state originated here and was later included in Hatch et al. (1990) and Jones et al. (1997), both being checklists of the vascular plants of the state. It is not known why Correll and Johnson would consider the species as possibly occurring in Texas, for at that time (pre- 1970), the distribution of P. oligantha was known to be west Florida and adjacent Alabama and Georgia (Small 1933). The lack of a supporting specimen has resulted in the species no longer being included as a part of the Texas flora (Cronquist 1980; Turner et al.
