South Dakota Native Plant Research

South Dakota Native Plant Research

 

This research program was initiated in 1999 as part of an SDSU Agricultural Experiment Station funded program in the laboratory of Dr. R. Neil Reese. This project is designed to provide research and educational opportunities to students interested in conservation and utilization of native plant species, as well as encourage the use of native plants by small family farmers as alternative crops in South Dakota. This site is dedicated to Mrs. Dorothy Gill, a Dakota Elder, a mentor and friend.

  • To locate a plant by the Native American name, or common name use the search box in the left side-bar.

  • A glossary of terms used in this collection can be found here.

  • Some items contain supplemental images documenting the life cycle of the plant.
