NOTES ON LOUISIANA BOTANY AND BOTANISTS, 1718-1975Joseph A. Ewan

摘要

The present paper was written ca. 1992 while the author, formerly at Tulane University, was Research Associate at the Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis. It was intended for a volume of essays honoring botanical artist Margaret Stones, but the collection was never published and the manuscript was abandoned. Before the intended submission, Ewan asked me to make corrections and suggest modifications, which I did. With those few and minor changes made, Ewan's notes on Louisiana's botanical history seemed to me well worthy of publication as a stand-alone contribution. For Joseph A. Ewan 1909-1999 see A.S. Bradburn, Sida 19:219-222 2000; LJ. Dorr, Taxon 49:107-111 2000; C Wolf, Plant Sci. Bull 46:14 2000. For Ewan bibliography, see LJ. Dorr andD. Holland, Arch. Natl Hist. 27:307-334 2000. I thank A.S. Bradburn, LJ. Dorr, E.G. Sundell, and J.W Thieret for reviewing the manuscript and offering valuable suggestions.
