Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annotated Catalogue of Grasses Growing Without Cultivation in Louisiana
The following catalogue of Louisiana grasses represents the results of collections made during parts bf every summer since 1897, with the exception of two or three quarantine years when collecting was impossible. During this period the writer has visited all the extreme portions of the State, both north, south, east and west, and a very great part of the intervening territory, especially all parts which have any distinctive geo graphic features such as were likely to be accompanied by cor responding differences in the ?ora. There is, of course, the drawback in such a collection that only one season of the year is represented, but with grasses this objection is not so great as with most other families of. Plants, as the vast majority bloom and are in their most perfect condition in the late sum mer and early autumn. Consequently while the writer can hardly hope that this catalogue is exhaustive, it is much nearer so than could be the case with any other large family collected only at one season of the year, and no doubt includes a very large proportion of our wild grasses.
