Transcription Notes:
Verified scientific names using eol.org; Iowa Prairie plants - http://uipress.lib.uiowa.edu/ppi/genus.php; Appendix 1. Habitat of species found during surveys of 22 prairie remnants in Iowa, USA public.iastate.edu/~bwilsey/Appendices.doc --kbailey I changed "floks" to "folks" in the last line. Otherwise looks good to go.--thomasc Changed Setaria vridits to Setaria viridis and added a skipped botanical entry. Made a few other minor edits. :) -- GigglePop!
