In Texas, this ecoregion is commonly referred to as the Llano Estacado, a mostly flat plateau of short grass prairie. It covers approximately the same area as the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department’s High Plains vegetative region. This collection lists only those taxa found in the Texas portion of the High Plains ecoregion.Printer Friendly: Species List | List with Images | List with QR Tags to Mobile
