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."

Para todos aquellos que busquen opciones para conocer las plantas herbáceas que habitan el noreste de México, esta es una de las mejores obras que pueden encontrar, tiene magníficas imágenes y textos muy sencillos, que aunque están en ingles la terminología es bastante simple.

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

The photographs are excellent, clear and make it easy to identify plants. I am just a land owner interested in finding out what is growing on my property. I am in a wildlife management program and want to learn which plants are native and which are introduced. Also which plants are beneficial to the wildlife. The data given for each plant is sometimes too scientific for my purposes. However enough of it is very useful.I recommend this book for lay persons like myself or even people with a bit more scientific interests.
