One hundred thirty-two species, subspecies, and varieties of cacti
may be found in Texas. About one hundred of them occur in the
states Trans-Pecos region, one of the most cactus-rich areas of the
United States, but at least one kind can be found in every county
of the state. This volume is an identification guide to the genera,
species, and varieties of Texas cacti, with maps showing the
distribution of each. Based on the comprehensive reference ""Cacti
of the Trans-Pecos and Adjacent Regions"" (2004), by A. Michael
Powell and James F. Weedin, this field guide provides briefer, less
detailed treatments of the entire states species for educated
general readers. More than three hundred beautiful full-color
photographs of the cacti in flower and in fruit, each placed with
its description in the text, highlight the book. Readers may
identify cacti using color photographs of the plants, keys,
distribution maps, and descriptions of the vegetative characters,
flowers, and fruits. The introduction - full of details about the
biology and morphology of the family Cactaceae and the uses,
horticulture, and conservation of cacti - is an important reference
for general readers. A glossary of cactus terms, an exhaustive list
of literature, and a thorough index complete the book. This guide
was designed for use by naturalists and hobbyists as well as
serious students. Visitors to the national parks, state parks, and
other natural areas of Texas will find it essential to identifying
the cacti.
