"Richard B. Taylor, Jimmy Rutledge, and Joe G. Herrera
More than an identification guide, Common South Texas Shrubs includes information on each plant's value for livestock, wildlife and humans. The authors chose 44 plants that represent about 75% fo the biomass in the area (roughly) between San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley. From the publisher: ""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.""
