either not previously illustrated or for which suitable illustrations could not be found. Further,<br />

a number of illustrations are published here for only the second time, having been presented<br />

previously in Shinners & Mahler’s Illustrated Flora of North Central Texas (Diggs et al. 1999).<br />

These include drawings of Cyperaceae done by Brenda Mahler and Jessica Procter (as part of<br />

B. Lipscomb’s research on that family) and a number of drawings done decades ago by the late<br />

Eula Whitehouse, David Wagnon, Pat Mueller, and unknown SMU students. These illustrations,<br />

preserved in the archives at BRIT, were made for Lloyd Shinners, whose untimely death<br />

prevented publication of his planned Flora of North Central Texas. Finally, Linny Heagy produced<br />

226 original drawings for the Illustrated Flora of North Central Texas.<br />

Beneath each illustration is the scientific name of the plant represented. The name is<br />

followed by a code in brackets indicating the source of the illustration. A list of illustration<br />

sources with codes is given in Appendix 1. Because all species are illustrated, reference to<br />

illustrations is not made in the text. Illustrations are located as close to the taxonomic<br />

descriptions as possible and in general are located after the taxonomic descriptions.<br />

The 194 color photographs are arranged alphabetically by genus and are grouped<br />

together in plates. Following the common name of each species and the page number of its<br />

description, a three letter code is given to designate the photographer (listed here alphabetically):<br />

[PMB] = Paul Martin Brown, [GHB*] = George H. Bruso, [WLC] = Scooter Cheatham,<br />

[BRC]=Ben R. Cox, [JAC]=J. Andrew Crosthwaite, [GMD] = George M. Diggs, [NGF*] = Norman G. Flaigg,<br />

[HAG] = Heinz A. Gaylord, [RJG] = Robert J. George, [SGJ] = Stanley & Gretchen Jones, [ELK] = Eric L.<br />

Keith, [JAL] = Joe A. Liggio, [CLL*] = Campbell & Lynn Loughmiller, [RJO] = Robert J. O’Kennon, [SLO]<br />

= Steve L. Orzell, [JWS*] = Julia W. Sanders, [JVK] = James Van Kley, [AFV*] = Albert F.W. Vick, Jr., and<br />

[WCW] = W. C. Weatherby. Codes followed by an asterisk indicate that the photographs are<br />

used courtesy of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. The symbol m/100 at the end<br />

of a species description indicates a color photograph is provided on that page number. As<br />

in the text, species not native to the U.S. are denoted by the symbol I.<br />

In order to provide a service for fellow educators, scientists, and interested individuals,<br />

the use of figures 1, 2, 3, 8, 41, 63, 68, 76, 176, 177, 178, and 183 does not require copyright<br />

permission.<br />

INFORMATION ON THE GLOSSARY<br />

The Glossary is reprinted from Diggs et al. (1999). It is modified from those of Shinners<br />

(1958) and Mahler (1988), with additional entries obtained or modified from a variety of<br />

sources including Lawrence (1951), Featherly (1954), Correll (1956), Gleason and Cronquist<br />

(1963, 1991), Radford et al. (1968), Correll and Johnston (1970), Gould (1975b), Lewis and<br />

Elvin-Lewis (1977), Benson (1979), Schmutz and Hamilton (1979), Fuller and McClintock<br />

(1986), Jones and Luchsinger (1986), Schofield (1986), Gandhi and Thomas (1989),<br />

Blackwell (1990), Isely (1990), Harris and Harris (1994), Spjut (1994), and Hickey and King<br />

(1997). The glossary is rather extensive and includes a number of terms not otherwise found<br />

in the book. This was done so that when using this work in conjunction with other taxonomic<br />

treatments, the meaning of obscure terms can be readily found.<br />

INFORMATION ON REFERENCES AND LITERATURE CITED<br />

The Literature Cited section contains bibliographic citations for all sources mentioned, including<br />

those listed immediately following family and generic synopses (e.g., REFERENCES: Wood 1958;<br />

Kral 1998). While an attempt was made to be as thorough as possible, the magnitude of the<br />

botanical literature makes complete coverage impossible. Therefore, the references given are<br />

intended to provide an entry point into the more detailed taxonomic literature and should not
