Amorpha canescens (20.8%), and
Amorpha canescens macrofossils first appear 2900 yr BP, although the pollen data suggest that it may have been present earlier; it is one of the most commonly found macrofossils of prairie habitats (Watts and Winter 1966, Van Zant 1979, R.
In this study we quantified the extent of selective grazing by mammalian herbivores on five legume species common in both tallgrass prairie restorations and nearby prairie remnants;
Amorpha canescens Pursh, Dalea Candida Michx.
The major (99% by biomass) legume species in these fields are Lathyrus venosus, Lespedeza capitata, and
Amorpha canescens (hereafter referred to by genus), but these typically represent [less than]5% of aboveground phytomass (Tilman 1987, 1988).
Dominant shrub species include leadplant (
Amorpha canscens), western snowberry (Symphoricarpus occidentalis), wild raspberry (Rubus idaeus), and wild rose (Rosa spp.).
Deer selectively graze wildflowers such as
Amorpha canescens Pursh.
The plants James documented in what is now Platte County are Lithospermum incisum, fringed puccoon; Cirsium sp., a thistle; Vicia americana, American purple vetch (not on our list); Rhus glabra, smooth sumac; Asclepias speciosa, showy milkweed; Toxicodendron radicans, poison ivy; Apocynum cannabinum, hemp dogbane; Helianthus petiolaris, plains sunflower;
Amorpha fruticosa, wildindigo; Gaura coccinea, scarlet gaura; Monarda pectinata, a mint not on our list; Potamogeton nodosus, floating-leaf pondweed; Rubus occidentalis, black raspberry; Sparganium eurycarpum, bur-reed; Callirhoe involucrata, purple poppy-mallow; Plantago patagonica, woolly plantain; and Anemone canadensis, meadow anemone.
The nucleus is euchromatinic with scarce heterochromatin, the nucleoli have a clear pars

Amorpha canescens Pursh competed with Echinacea angustifolia De Candolle for Bombus pollinators rather than facilitating its pollination.
