In Texas, it covers approximately the same land area as the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department’s Gulf Marshes and Prairies vegetative region. This collection lists only those taxa found in the Texas portion of the Western Gulf Coastal Plain ecoregion.Printer Friendly: Species List | List with Images | List with QR Tags to Mobile
