Written for ranchers, landowners, 4-H-ers, veterinarians, and 
anyone interested in wild or ornamental plants, Toxic Plants of 
Texas is a complete, practical guide to 106 of the most common 
poisonous plants in Texas.

    In a handy, well-illustrated format, experts Charles R. Hart,
John C. Reagor, Bruce B. Carpenter, A. Catherine Barr, and Tam
Garland provide descriptions of each plant, explaining where it
grows, what makes it toxic, and how much an animal must eat
to be affected. They also offer a primer on different kinds of 
poisoning, lists of symptoms, and strategies for treatment and 
prevention. An overview of integrated toxic plant management 
summarizes an economical and environmentally sound approach
to reducing livestock losses by controlling toxic plants. At the 
back of the book, a field key cross-references animal symptoms 
with plant species.

    An abundance of excellent color photographs aid in the 
identification of each plant's toxic features, including the 
flowers, fruits, pods, and roots.
