A special thanks to proofing and expertise of people who know far more about identifications than any of us; Wes Phillips, Pam Allison, J. R. Bell Clint Rollins
As part of our required training , the 2007 Texas Master Naturalist, trainees were taken on a hike to the Alibates National
Flint quarry. The hike and training was led by Wes Phillips. Wes is an Archeologist, Entomologist, Historian, Biologist, Naturalist,
and just about every other kind of -ologist you could think of. He has worked in five major national parks from the Grand Canyon to the Virginia Yorktown Battlefield. He is now
retired from the National Park Service, and currently curator of Hutchinson County Museum. Wes is very knowledgeable in the field of plants,
insects, history, and archaeology.



As part of our training we were asked to develop a field guide to the plants we saw along the trail, with Wes's expert help and time we cataloged 51 plants.
The project was to produce a pamphlet that would be beneficial to the Park Rangers who normally led the hike. The original concept was to build index sized cards to
key the different plant species, and after a few missteps - what finally developed was this little pamphlet. All of the Texas Master Naturalists contributed their
specialties to this project and it is the end result of, many emails, many proofs, revisions in text, and identification. We hope you enjoy our efforts which are a true non-profit
labor of love - of the great Texas Outdoors.

A special thanks goes to Joanne P. Toler who proofed my proofs
and found many errors. Also to JR Bell, Pamala Allison, and
many others for help in correcting plant mis-identifications as
paired to photographs.
Original research was done on site with the books mentioned and
others that may not be sited. There were some discrepancies in the
naming of species once all references were collated, when
discrepancies occurred ,the USDA database was given priority.
Look for synonyms in dealing with cross references.
Revisions made 9/08/2009, I hope it is all correct.
