Download or read book A Field Guide to Common South Texas Shrubs written by Richard B. Taylor and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are over 281 species of woody plants and 32 species of cacti in the South Texas ecological region. The vast majority of these are found in the lower Rio Grande Valley, which is part of the subtropical Tamaulipan biotic province. Many of the plant species in this area reach their northernmost boundary here. The 44 plants described in this guide represent an estimated 75% of the overall brush biomass of the South Texas ecological region, excluding the lower Rio Grande Valley. The plants are grouped into thorned and thornless categories and alphabetized by family. Distinguishing characteristics have been italicized for easy reference. Similar species are also noted. In this guide, plants are not ranked by importance because their value to animals can differ from ranch to ranch, depending on the plant's availability and the ranch's location, soil type, and land management practices. In case a plant is not found in this guide or more information is desired, a list of additional references is included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vermont Shrubs and Woody Vines The method of using the keys will probably be evident to most; yet lest any reader should be puzzled, an explanation of their use is given at the bottom of the next page. The matter of discriminating between related species has been simplified and the pages made clearer as well as more attractive by illustrations. In the arrangement of families and the choice of botanical names, the usage Of the Gray New Manual of Botany is fol lowed. Where the names of earlier standard works or of other modern texts, including the Britton Manual, differ from this, the synonymy is entered in parentheses. For many of the English names the usage of the Britton Manual has been followed, and where local custom departs from that of the botanical texts the aim has been to recognize it.
