Note: This list does not apply to plants domesticated outside the Snake River Plain, and is not final.
(Wild Cultivars
Lomatium nudicaule - Indian celery, used by natives in OTL. Tubers and stem used for food, seeds used as medicine for coughs and sore throats, tubers larger than other species.
Amaranthus: Likely hybrid of A.hybridus and A.palmeri. Inherits extreme growth, fast seeding, and drought resistance from A.palmeri and the all-around edibility (seeds, leaves and root are all edible) and easy harvesting of A.hybridus. A union, stronger than the sum of its parts.
Balsamorhiza hookeri: Basalmroot common across the Great Basin, produces edible seeds and fruit, is quite drought resistant and grows pretty much everywhere.
Balsamorhiza sagittata: Basalmroot common across the Great Basin, is completely edible, drought resistant and has regular growing seasons.
hybrid?
Lupinus argenteus: Lupine species found in the lands around the Snake Gorge, largest beans out of the family but otherwise unnoteworthy. Annual plant, rather easy to farm, so it should be domesticable.
Oryzopsis hymenoides: Still important as a source of famine food and for growing in fringe environments, but not as important as in the GSLV. Seeds are edible, and the rest of the plant can be used for medicine.
Allium bisceptrum: Same as last time. Ability to be grown during the winter would make it quite important, and it would provide a source of famine food. Bulbs would be their primary value, but stem and leaves would also be eaten.
Trifolium douglasii: Species of wild clover. Fruit and seeds are edible but small. Would likely be allowed to spread into farming areas for their fruit before their rejuvenating properties would be found.
Distichlis spicata: Useful as a famine food. Its real value comes from its ability to extract salt from the soil and excrete it.
Apocynum cannabinum: Poisonous, but its seeds are edible and it can be used to provide fiber on a very impressive scale.
Asclepias cryptoceras: Relative of milkweed, capable of growing in very dry areas. Used primarily as a fiber crop, but its seeds and roots can also be eaten.
Populus trichocarpa: Tree used primarily for lumber, due to its fast growing period.
Juniperus scopulorum: Slow-growing species of juniper, used for medicinal purposes and burned for ceremonial uses. Berries can be used as a spice, and in particular a ground concentration of wood and berry can be used as a coffee substitute. Bark is edible, and can be ground up into flour.
Hordeum brachyantherum: Would originate as a weed before being unintentionally domesticated by Vavilovianistic processes. Mostly used as a secondary food source and/or famine food.
Opuntia polyacantha: Species of prickly-pear cactus widespread in the Snake River. Grows primarily on bad ground untenable by other species, but its fruit is very sweet and can be turned into candy or alcohol.
Camassia quamash: Camass. Flowering plants with a large edible tuber, would grow primarily away from the river and would be used as a source of food by nomads and farmers.
