The information from the Missouri Weed Site was used as a starting point to build this list. Some of the weeds were removed because they don't exsist in Texas. Many pictures were added and the new design will allow for easier modification.

A word of thanks to R.Q. "Jake" Landers, Jr. for his assistance in this project.
