Kaul to offer glimpse at past and present Nebraska flora
Even if you knew exactly when and where to look, you might not be able to find a dog-toothed violet, a prairie trout lily or certain orchids in Nebraska anymore, except in "The Flora of Nebraska," a catalog of all plant life found here since settlers arrived.
Robert B. Kaul, the lead author of "The Flora of Nebraska," will introduce now-elusive species and data-gathering efforts in a lecture at 7 p.m., Oct. 16, in the Hardin Hall Auditorium. The lecture is free and open to the public.
"A lot of the flora disappeared when the sodbusters came along," Kaul said. "It was gone by the turn of the last century."
Still, remnants of original plant populations exist today, aided by preservation efforts that started in the 1970s.
