Abstract
This paper describes the life cycle of Scolochloa festucacea, a dominant species in potholes subjected to regular burning or mowing throughout the Drift Prairie and Missouri Coteau of the Northern Great Plains. Vernal growth is initiated at extremely low temperatures; some plants grow in water at the freezing point. Flowers develop in June if the pothole is inundated in the spring. Mature caryopses drop in July, but do not germinate until the next year. Tillers and new rhizomes are produced in August, followed by senescence in late September – early October.
