There are over 281 species of woody plants and 32 species of cacti in the South Texas ecological region. The vast majority of these are found in the lower Rio Grande Valley, which is a part of the subtropical Tamaulipan biotic province. The various plant species On this area reach their northernmost boundary here. The 44 plants described On this guide represent an estimated 75% of the overall brush biomass of the South Texas ecological region, with the exception of the lower Rio Grande Valley.

The plants are grouped into thorned and thornless categories and alphabetized by circle of relatives. Distinguishing characteristics have been italicized for simple reference. Equivalent species are also noted. On this guide, plants don’t seem to be ranked by importance because their value to animals can differ from ranch to ranch, depending at the plant’s availability and the ranch’s location, soil type, and land management practices. In case a plant isn’t found On this guide or more information is desired, a list of additional references is included.
