  • Question

    I know this is a site mostly associated with New England flora, so I understand if you can't help with this question. I'm curious what plants and flowers and trees grow naturaly in (and are commonly associated with) both the state of Veracruz in Mexico, and the state of Louisiana. Are there any such flora?

    Answer

    Dear mbsanz, good morning. Mexico is a long way from my region of expertise, but there are five museums (herbaria) that are located in Veracruz that should be able to assist you. If you follow this link: http://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/ih/herbarium-list/?AddPhysCountry=mexico&AddPhysState=Veracruz, you can see the five institutions and contact information is provided so you could present your question to them. Best wishes.
