Question
Hi, I'm trying to do an illustration of this 19th century Floridian scene (first St. Augustine lighthouse) and I just can't figure out what kind of palms those are in the foreground on the left. Any ideas? Thank you! (I just noticed you're New England specialists ... but just in case!)
Answer
Dear hoboxia, good afternoon. As you suspected, my expertise is limited to the northeastern portion of North America. However, the plants look identifiable. You want to connect with folks in the southeastern US, which you can find on Index Herbariorum. With some searching, you should be able to find someone that can assist. Good luck.
