Annotated Vascular Flora and Regional Floristic Analysis of the Dead Horse Mountains, Big Bend National Park, Brewster County, Texas
Fenstermacher JA. 2007. Annotated Vascular Flora and Regional Floristic Analysis of the Dead Horse Mountains, Big Bend National Park, Brewster County, Texas
The Dead Horse Mountains area of Big Bend National Park is one of the least explored areas in Texas. This is the first collective body of work to document the area's vascular flora through a major new collection of vouchered specimens and a survey of existing herbarium specimens. Field work was performed between August 2003 and September 2006. The study area covered 176,800 acres (71,548 hectares; 276 mi2, 716 km2) with a 4100 ft (1250m) range in elevation. Non-vascular specimens (bryophytes, hepatophytes, and lichens) were also collected but are not a part of the current report.
