This I think a somewhat complete catalogue of such plants
found in Western Louisiania as flower in Feb & March. The
season is sometimes somewhat earlier than this year. for instance
I have a great many flowers on the Peach tree in January
You will observe that the seasons are almost precisely those
of Charleston S Carolina - I shall continue my catalogue
thru the months of April & May if not longer

I enclose a picea or ervum common in La. Akansaw & Texas
I am inclined to believe undescribed. Flowers in the Specimens [1?]
They never exceed 2
