Wetland Plants of Texas: A complete guide to the wetland and aquatic plants of the Lone Star state. Volume 1: Ferns and Fern Allies, Gymnosperms, Monocots

Wetland Plants of Texas is a comprehensive field guide to over 1,300 vascular plant species found in the wetlands of Texas—plants of swamps, marshes, bogs, wet meadows and low prairie—plus the aquatic plants found in the state’s lakes, ponds, rivers, streams and coastal areas.

Based on the significant 1972 publication Aquatic and Wetland Plants of Southwestern United States by Donovan and Helen Correll, Volume One describes nearly 600 species of Ferns and Fern Allies, Gymnosperms and Monocots. Volume Two treats over 700 species of Dicots. Each volume is thoroughly revised and updated to reflect current nomenclature and distribution patterns in Texas. Also included are the wetland indicator status ratings of the 2012 National Wetland Plant List, used in wetland delineation studies nationwide.

Contents of Volume One • Complete coverage of the ferns, conifers and monocots found in the wetlands of Texas. • Nearly 600 plant species in 42 plant families; each species described, including habitat and range information. • County distribution map provided for each species. • Wetland indicator status ratings for each Texas region: Arid West, Great Plains, Atlantic and Gulf Coast Plains • Identification of plants of conservation concern (endangered, endemic). • Keys to each plant family, genus and species. • Extensive glossary and complete index. • Numerous illustrations.
