The spatial genetic structure within plant populations and genetic differentiation among populations can vary in strength due to the forces of natural selection, gene flow and genetic drift. In this study, we investigate the level of genetic structure and differentiation present in Oklahoma populations of Dichanthelium oligosanthes (Schult.) Gould (Scribner’s panicum), a C3 grass native to the United States and a frequent member of the tallgrass prairie. To examine fine-scale spatial genetic structure of D. oligosanthes, we collected leaves from 48 spatially separated plants in a population in Stillwater, OK. To examine genetic differentiation among adjacent populations, we sampled leaf tissue from eight individuals at each of three populations in Stillwater, OK. DNA was extracted from these samples and Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) markers were amplified. Within a single population of D. oligosanthes, we found a weak and non-significant negative relationship between genetic similarity and geographical distance. In contrast, we found evidence for moderate and significant genetic differentiation among populations.

(First paragraph) Located in Atoka County of south-central Oklahoma, The Nature Conservancy’s Boehler Seeps and Sandhills Preserve comprises sandhills, acidic hillside seeps, marshes, intermittent and permanent streams, and shallow lakes. The sandhills are the site of the highest quality, old-growth vegetation of the Western Gulf Coastal Plains (S. Orzell, pers. comm. to Ian Butler). The flora is a unique assemblage of plants that is present nowhere else in the state and considered globally rare. Approximately 400 species are believed to be present (Jones 1993). More than 20 rare species have been reported to occur in the area, including some that are globally rare (Oklahoma Natural Heritage Inventory 1997). Eriocaulon kornickianum , for example, is designated G2 and S1. Other rare species in the preserve include Penstemon murrayanus (G4, S1S3), Polygonella americana (G5, S1S2), and Paronychia drummondii (G4G5, S1S2).

Oklahoma has just had a summer of incredible heat and exceptional drought (D4), the worst such designation possible from the National Drought Monitor and marked by a menacing dark red on the drought maps they make. The impacts of this tough climate event can be seen everywhere one looks from the dormant or dead Blackjacks and Eastern Redcedars to the thin young crows, and felt in the economy and our communities. We can set the stage for these musings by quoting Mr. Gary McManus, Associate State Climatologist, Oklahoma Climatological Survey.

The increasing interest in grassland management in Oklahoma reveals the need for some means of identifying grasses by their vegetative characters. Native grasses comprise a major component of the state’s grazing resources; hence, this work concerns itself only with those species. Several keys of local scope have been prepared for various localities, but thus far none has been made specifically for Oklahoma. It is hoped that this work will prove helpful in identifying grasses when only the vegetative part is present.

The Hale Scout Reservation is located in the Ouachita Mountains of southeastern Oklahoma, a region of high plant diversity in the state. A vascular plant inventory yielded 463 species of vascular plants in 288 genera and 99 families. The largest families were the Asteraceae (with 65 species) and Poaceae (56). The flora consisted of 120 annuals, 1 biennial, and 342 perennials. Forty-two non-native species were collected, representing 8.8% of the flora. Sixteen species tracked by the Oklahoma Natural Heritage Inventory were present: Amorpha ouachitensis (S1), Aristolochia serpentaria (S1), Baptisia nuttalliana (S2), Brachyelytrum erectum (S1), Brasenia schreberi (S1), Carex ouachitana (S1), Chionanthus virginicus (S2), Clematis crispa (S1), Didiplis diandra (S1S2), Galium arkansanum (S2), Houstonia ouachitana (S1), Juncus repens (S1), Modiola caroliniana (S2), Monotropa hypopithys (S1), Muhlenbergia bushii (S1), and Ribes cynosbati (S2) (Oklahoma Natural Heritage Inventory, 2010).

As any ONPS member will attest, it doesn’t take many field trips into the prairies and forests of Oklahoma to encounter an unknown plant and have to ask, “What is it?” The easiest way to identify it is disarmingly simple; ask someone who knows! This approach works well when an expert is near at hand, ready to name plants.

Although southeastern Oklahoma has substantial areas of bottomland forest, few studies exist of this vegetation type. We analyzed forest community structure at the Tiak Research Natural Area of the Ouachita National Forest on the Upper Gulf Coastal Plain. Vegetation data were collected from 24 12m x 8m macroplots. Percent cover data were recorded for ferns, fern-allies, and herbaceous angiosperms. Tree sapling and shrub species were recorded in diameter classes, and numbers of stems in estimated height classes were recorded for midlevel and canopy trees. One hundred fifty-two taxa of woody and herbaceous plants were encountered. Toxicodendron radicans and Arundinaria gigantea were the common understory species. Acer rubrum, A. saccharum, Carpinus caroliniana, Carya alba, C. texana, Cornus florida, Fraxinus americana, Liquidambar styraciflua, and Nyssa sylvatica were common as mid-level species. Quercus lyrata and Q. phellos were the most common canopy layer trees.

Francis Hobart Means
The author grew up in the prairie region of Kay County where he learned to appreciate proper management of the soil and the native grass flora. After graduation from college, he moved to Eastern Oklahoma State College where he took a position as Instructor in Botany and Agronomy. In the course of conducting botany field trips and working with local residents on their plant problems, the author became increasingly interested in the flora of that area and of the State of Oklahoma. This led to an extensive study of the northern portion of the Oauchita Highlands with collections currently numbering approximately 4,200. The specimens have been processed according to standard herbarium procedures. The first set has been placed in the Herbarium of Oklahoma State University with the second set going to Eastern Oklahoma State College at Wilburton. Editor’s note: The original species list included habitat characteristics and collection notes. These are omitted here but are available in the dissertation housed at the Edmon-Low Library at OSU or in digital form by request to the editor.
