Customer Reviews

for the grass enthousiast
This book has excellent detailed drawings of the whole plant, and the bloom or seed head. The descriptions of the grasses are thorough and include fair-excellent ratings on wildlife and or cattle grazing. For a native grass enthousiast or a rancher, this book is excellent.

Many grasses have similar visual attributes, though. For the average person who has no previous knowledge of grasses and no alternate source with actual photos, this resource could be confusing by itself.

Not for the novice
This might be a 5 star for someone with scientific knowledge of grasses, but if you are a novice, wait until you have more experience before getting this book.

What I needed was a photo guide with clear pictures and descriptions in layman's terms.

A must for Texas Grass identification
This isn't an all inclusive book, but it does have most of the common grasses in Texas. It is definately a book that can be brought with you into the field in areas that you might not be familiar with all of the grasses.
