About This Book
An illustrated field manual that pairs watercolor paintings with concise descriptions to aid identification of wildflowers found across Texas, emphasizing commonly encountered species while including some rarer plants. It explains basic plant parts and terminology, offers notes on distribution and habitat, and provides identification details such as flower and seed characteristics. The volume includes finding lists, a bibliography of reference works, and an index, and notes that the paintings were produced from fresh specimens checked against herbarium material. The author also highlights threats to native flora and encourages protective measures for vulnerable species.
