5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent starter book.,
By mmoseley@ionet.net (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Texas Range Plants (W. L. Moody Jr. Natural History Series) (Paperback)
This book is well illustrated and can serve as an excellent resource for those wanting to know about range plants. This book would be useful to ranchers, students, laymen, and technicians. If one wanted to carry just one book to the field to identify and learn basic things about a variety of plants, this would be the one.

This review is from: Texas Range Plants (W. L. Moody Jr. Natural History Series) (Paperback)
I was happy to find a reference book to cover many of the plants not covered in wild flower,tree,or shrub field guides. In some of the field guides they will say that this so-and -so plant may be "poison". If a plant is poisonous this book will tell you what the compound is and how much it takes to kill your cows, sheep, or goats. The illustrations are black and white pencil drawings so its not just a flower with a fuzzy green glob. You can make out the leaf and stem shape.
The author can get technical for me sometimes but most anyone can get lots of info here. Also, I didn't know there are so many kinds of grass.

This review is from: Texas Range Plants (W. L. Moody Jr. Natural History Series) (Paperback)
This is a great supplement to any library of someone who needs to identify plants in Texas. It isn't all inclusive, but there are very few books that come close to being all inclusive. It's helped with some plants that weren't in other books in my library.
