ABSTRACT

Floristically, the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta region is one of the poorest known areas in Mississippi. Recent field studies have yielded several state records, numerous Yazoo-Mississippi Delta region records, and other noteworthy collections that are reported herein. The flora of the rare ridge bottom forest is reported on, and certain species that are restricted to ridge sites and are rare in the Delta region are also discussed.
