[Taxacom] unknown shrub from Louisiana, USA

[Amanda Neill]

Actually, from the thorns it's Pisonia aculeata.  Which according to USDA plants is not known to occur in Louisiana.  Pretty cool!

Hi Chris, looks like a Pisonia to me (Nyctaginaceae).

Dear Taxacomers,

I would love to have some help identifying an unknown shrub from near the
mouth of the Mississippi River.  In that location, who knows where it is
from.

Several images are posted at www.herbarium.lsu.edu/images.  The images of
the unknown shrub will have a post date of 18 March (there are images of
other plants on that page).

Shrub looks Rhamnaceous to us.

Thanks!
