Field Guide to the Broad-Leaved Herbaceous Plants of South Texas: Used by Livestock and Wildlife

Rating:
Summary: Much-Needed Photographs of Rapidly Disappearing Plants
Review: A must-have for every library in south Texas. This well-organized book fills a large gap in reference material about vegetation which remains undisturbed on less than 95% of south Texas' landmass. Placement of photos and construction of keys make this an excellent introductory text for students of botany. It's the first volume I can recommend to junior-high and high school teachers as a "user-friendly" approach to keying south Texas herbs. Lots of south Texas plants remain unmentioned here, however. Let us not assume that they are nonnative or without "use to livestock and wildlife."
