Pachysandra procumbens Michx.
Date created ms
1976, 1989
Abstract
"Certain rich, beech-magnolia wooded hillsides in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, represent the southwestern extent of the geographic distribution of Allegheny spurge. Propagating by horizontal stems, this species forms large colonies on the forest floor. The mottled, variegated leaves, an outstanding feature of this plant, occur only near the upturned branch tips. The rather small, imperfect flowers are clustered together in spikes about three inches long that arise from the base of the leafy stems. The inflorescence varies from being composed entirely of all pollen-producing flowers to having a few seed-producing ones below the staminate flowers. Both the male and the female perianths consist of four sepals and no petals. A three-horned capsule develops from the female flower. Literally, and in reference to the four white, fleshy filaments of each male flower, pachysandra means "having thick, pollen-bearing structures." In appropriate habitats Allegheny spurge provides an attractive ground cover. World wide, approximately one hundred species compose the box family including the often-used hedge plant, boxwood."--Lowell Urbatsch, in the Flora of Louisiana (Baton Rouge, LSU Press, 1991), p. 49

Buchnera americana L. and Buchnera floridana Gandog.
Date created ms

Abstract
"Two species from the same family appear on this watercolor drawing. In late spring and summer, spikes of small, bluish flowers of the bluehearts commonly appear among the diverse flora of the wet pine savannas of the coastal plain of Louisiana and the Southeast. As many as six flowers may appear on each spike; each flower is composed of five, somewhat-unequal petals. Along the stems, which may attain a height of two feet, are several pairs of opposite, lance-shaped leaves. The number of veins in the leaves is an important characteristic in distinguishing between the two species of bluehearts, which may grow in mixed colonies. American bluehearts (right) have single-veined lower leaves, and the Florida bluehearts (left) have three-veined lower leaves. The genus Buchnera contains about one hundred species, which mostly inhabit the Old World tropics and subtropics." -- Lowell Urbatsch, in The Flora of Louisiana (Baton Rouge: LSU Press, 1991), p. 202.

Styrax americana Lam.
Date created ms
1976, 1989
Abstract
"Typically a shrub, or occasionally reaching tree size, American snowbell grows in moist to wet habitats with standing water, such as swamps and wet woodlands. This species differs from the big leaf snowbell in a number of features besides habitat preference. The leaves of American snowbell are somewhat smaller, and its pendulous flowers occur singly or in pairs in the axils of the leaves and at the tips of short branches. Like those of its sister species, American snowbell flowers have recurved tips and ten yellow stamens closely clustered around the downward-pointing style. This species possesses double buds at each node. It appears to be more tolerant of different soils, and if planted in a somewhat sunny location, it will flower abundantly. Propagation of this plant is somewhat difficult but normally is achieved by germinating seeds or by air-layering branches. American snowbell is fairly common throughout Louisiana."--Lowell Urbatsch, in the Flora of Louisiana (Baton Rouge, LSU Press, 1991), p. 204

Wisteria frutescens (L.) Poir. [Wisteria macrostachya Nutt. ex Torr. & Gray]
Date created ms
1976, 1989
Abstract
"American wisteria is a deciduous, woody, twining vine that grows in wet soil along streams, ponds, and bayous. The alternate, pinnately compound leaves of this species are normally composed of from nine to fifteen leaflets. Conical, pendulous racemes up to ten inches long develop after the leaves have matured. Flowering begins at the base of the inflorescence and then progresses toward its apex. A five-lobed calyx surrounds the bilaterally symmetric corolla, which is made up of five bluish to lilac petals. The largest petal is the broadly elliptical banner, which projects at right angles to the pair of wing petals surrounding the two petals of the keel. Enclosed by the keel is one free stamen and nine others fused by their filaments. The ovary forms a many-seeded, legume-like fruit that may be several inches long. Although not in common use, American wisteria is an exceedingly attractive vine suitable for growing on fences and arbors. The commonly grown, more aggressive Asian wisterias flower before, or simultaneously with, new leaf development and they have somewhat different fruits."--Lowell Urbatsch, in the Flora of Louisiana (Baton Rouge, LSU Press, 1991), p. 93

Helianthus annuus L.
Date created ms
1976, 1989
Abstract
"The annual sunflower is one of the most familiar of all flowering plants. It commonly grows along roadsides and around the edges of fields and woodlands. During the fall, the plant becomes conspicuous because of its large heads of flowers that resemble the sun. In fact, its generic name is derived from the Greek words helios, meaning "sun," and anthos, meaning "flower"; the specific epithet denotes the plant's annual habit. The head of the sunflower is a cluster of many small flowers of two types. Ray flowers, with their long, strap-shaped corollas, surround the margin of the head. They produce no pollen or fruit but serve to attract insect pollinators. In the center of the head are the disk flowers; these have radially symmetrical corollas and function to produce pollen and seed. Archaeological evidence suggests that the annual sunflower had been domesticated by various American Indian cultures; it is the only native plant species domesticated in what is now the United States. On a world wide scale, the sunflower is second to the soybean as the most important source of vegetable oil."--Lowell Urbatsch, in the Flora of Louisiana (Baton Rouge, LSU Press, 1991), p. 30
