One person's weed is another's wildflower, but in this book weeds
of southern Texas and northern Mexico are defined as plants that
are considered a nuisance to farmers or noxious to livestock in the
region. The book covers 189 species of broad-leaved herbaceous
species, grasslike plants, and grasses, encompassing 144 genera and
45 families. These include one species of fern, 142 species of
dicots, and 46 species of monocots. Of the dicots, 111 species of
dicots are native and 31 are introduced. Twenty-one species of
monocots are native, and 25 are introduced. The species
descriptions include color photographs, family names, common names,
scientific names, general descriptions, and the ecological
characteristics of the weeds. Voucher specimens for most of the
plants are on file in the University of Texas-Pan American
Herbarium. Although this book focuses on plants that occur on both
sides of the Rio Grande in Texas and northern Mexico, the extensive
ranges of many of the represented species make it a useful
reference for weeds in other areas of Texas and the southwestern
United States. This book will be useful to farmers and farm
managers, agricultural consultants, ranchers, natural resource
managers, scientists, and anyone interested in the flora of
southern Texas and northern Mexico.
