The Composites
Identifications of plant species were made from Marshall Enquist (1987) Wildflowers of the Texas Hill Country, and from Donovan S. Correll and Marshall C. Johnson (1970) Manual of the Vascular Plants of Texas. Susan Sander was kind enough to verify and correct the various photo identifications where possible. I am much indebted to her for that and for field time chasing and identifying plants; but far more than that for being the primary source of an environmental conscience in Kerr County as a prolific writer and columnist, trip leader and educator, and founder and sole visionary of the Riverside Nature Center.
