Subject: Louisana Flora Help

I have recently been hired to map and describe the vegetation in and
around LA cotton fields around Winsborro.  I have no experience in this
locale, I've only worked in the Pacific Northwest.  What are the best
floras and taxonomic keys for this area?  Is ther anything like Jepsen
or Hitchcock for the area?

Thank You

David Board

Rather than ask how someone from the Pacific Northwest was hired to map 
vegetation adjacent to Winnsboro, LA, cotton fields rather than some of 
the local botanists, I will suggest that you contact the Dept. of Botany, 
Louisiana Tech University, Ruston, LA.  They are tops in Louisiana, and 
maintain an international herbarium.  They may also be willing to help you 
with your problem.
