Gives KU Two Study Grants Totaling $16,900
The National Science Foundation has given the University two grants totaling $16,900 to conduct a study of "Biosystematic Study of Echinacea" and another on "Coal Age Flora of Eastern Kansas."
A grant of $5,300 has been made to study the Echinacea, a group of flowering plants related to the sunflower. An $11,600 grant has been made for studying the coal age flora.
Robert W. Baxter, associate professor of botany, who has done research on coal age flora since 1949, will conduct that study.
His research has been concerned primarily with descriptions of new fossil species from the extensive coal ball material found in strip coal mines in the southeast corner of the state.
With the new grant Dr. Baxter will be able to complete a study of the Pennsylvanian fossil flora, both petrified and compression, of eastern Kansas.
He has extensive collections from all the well-known plant fossil locations in the eastern part of the state and will utilize basic collections from the area on file at the U. S. National Museum.
The species to be studied include the Garnett, Lone Star and Tonganoxie floras.
Ronald L. McGregor, associate professor of botany, will direct the two-year project on Echinacea. He already has done considerable research on the plant during the
past three years and collected about 3,000 samples which are growing in the botany department's experimental garden.
The plant is found in the central part of the United States and is most prevalent in this immediate area and the Oarks.
By collecting Echinacea from every place it grows and crossing the plants, Prof. McGregor will be able to determine its past history and development.
The study will also reveal valuable information in relation to the classification of many kinds of plants of the forest-prairie era.
