Flora of the Black Hills FLORA OF THE BLACK HILLS Keys to Genera, Species, Subspecies, and Varieties Robert D. Dorn Update of January 2017 Flora of the Black Hills It is always desirable to have identification keys available for the smallest area one is working in rather than to have to labor through keys covering a larger area, whether a state, region, or nation. My keys for the Black Hills which appeared in 1977 are long out of date. This update has eliminated about 70 species which were reported earlier for the Black Hills but have never been documented with a specimen or reliable literature source. About 180 species have been added to the Black Hills flora since 1977. A high percentage of recent new reports for which specimens could be examined turned out to be misidentified. There are other reports for which I was unable to examine specimens. Some of these may be valid but are not included here. For this update I have chose not to include any descriptions, habitats, nor locations to keep the treatment compact and easily available to all who wish to use it. Detailed descriptions can be found in “Flora of the Great Plains” and in “Flora North America” which is online. I have not attempted to evaluate name changes that appear in “Flora North America”. These are mostly followed but some are not for various reasons which may include nomenclatural problems or a differing use of ranks. The latter names can usually be easily cross-referenced. In addition, I may recognize varieties that these treatments do not. There are plenty of examples of varieties being very distinct in one area and totally and hopelessly intergradient in other areas. If I thought they might be useful, I have included them. If they are not relevant or significant for your purposes, they can simply be ignored. Normally I use the rank of variety for infraspecific taxa and occasionally the rank of subspecies for a related group of varieties. A few species lack a validly published name for their varieties, but have valid subspecies names. Rather than validate new varietal names, I have simply used the subspecies names in these few cases. Collection locations can often be found in herbaria databases online such as that for the Rocky Mountain Herbarium at the University of Wyoming. Traditionally, keys have used the Family for the base unit or rank, with keys to genera and species under the respective families. Recent genetic work has recircumscribed many traditional families and more of these changes can be expected in the future. I have therefore eliminated all use of families although some of the group keys may correspond to families. Genera and species are a lot simpler to update than are families. The actual area covered is shown on the map below. R. Dorn January 2017 ii Keys to Genera Key to the Major Groups 1.

    “It’s unfair to the people of this area for us to collect taxes from our customers to help TVA [Tennessee Valley Authority] sell power at a lower price to their customers.” NEIL SIMPSON, President, Black Hills Power and Light Company 60 Expanding Futures on the Great Plains 4 EXPANDING FUTURES ON THE GREAT PLAINS Black Hills Power and Light continued to expand. The company absorbed smaller utilities. It offered power and transmission services to other areas in collaboration with public power agencies and rural electric cooperatives. But tensions with the rural cooperatives were building over territories and customers.

  • Southwestern Showy Sedge in the Black Hills National Forest, South Dakota and Wyoming
    United States Department of Agriculture Conservation Assessment Forest Service Rocky of the Southwestern Mountain Region Black Hills Showy Sedge in the Black National Forest Custer, Hills National Forest, South South Dakota May 2003 Dakota and Wyoming Bruce T. Glisson Conservation Assessment of Southwestern Showy Sedge in the Black Hills National Forest, South Dakota and Wyoming Bruce T. Glisson, Ph.D. 315 Matterhorn Drive Park City, UT 84098 email: [email protected] Bruce Glisson is a botanist and ecologist with over 10 years of consulting experience, located in Park City, Utah. He has earned a B.S. in Biology from Towson State University, an M.S. in Public Health from the University of Utah, and a Ph.D. in Botany from Brigham Young University EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Southwestern showy sedge, Carex bella Bailey, is a cespitose graminoid that occurs in the central and southern Rocky Mountain region of the western United States and Mexico, with a disjunct population in the Black Hills that may be a relict from the last Pleistocene glaciation (Cronquist et al., 1994; USDA NRCS, 2001; NatureServe, 2001). Southwestern showy sedge is quite restricted in range and habitat in the Black Hills. There is much that we don’t know about the species, as there has been no thorough surveys, no monitoring, and very few and limited studies on the species in the area. Long term persistence of southwestern showy sedge is enhanced due to the presence of at least several populations within the Black Elk Wilderness and Custer State Park. Populations in Custer State Park may be at greater risk due to recreational use and lack of protective regulations (Marriott 2001c).

Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 44 p. 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. Hazlett is an ethnobotanist, Director of New World Plants and People consulting, and a research associate at the Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver, CO.
