Cynomys ludovicianus
July 15, 1955
Devil's Tower, Wyoming
On dog town line, many now perennial forbs than on skirt
Tail town, it seemed. Lee Allis told me that an area of mixed
prairie in S. Dakota, deliberate overgrazing by cattle for many
years, a resultant vegetation mostly Buckler, with some Aem. +
other grasses, but no forbs. The stand of Aristida longipes now
on dog town line was more than Lee had ever seen in S. Dakota.
Chipp plant or wounds here: Polygonum aviculare; then over-
author blitida + pasciugana, Antirrhinum artemisiifolia, Ery-
trum canadense, Plantago spinulosa, Dalea heli-tenuiflora, of
annual forbs; Lygodium, Melilotus, Amorpha, Dalea rigidum,
Sphairaeae roscensia, of perennial forbs. Many kinds of tall
plants cut: conspicuously Bromus juncea, to 1/2" stem +
3' high, which sometime grows next to wounds. Needatelle
Plantago pennsii cut much same sites, & P. spinulosa. at E.
and much cutting of Symphoricarpos & Artemisia can. Much
Art. gnaphalodes cut several sites. One area much cutting
next to a perennial of Euphorbia 12" tall, but little of that cut,
(corncut juice?). Fruits of Astroglotis lusculata + others appear
ently not eating the succulent, at one site at W. and 2-3 tall
Heliantus felled.
