Over 109 species have been introduced, both native and non-native (at times unwisely), since 1976, when Purola was badly overgrazed hillcountry ranchland. We were anxious to get anything at all to grow that would survive without care, including a small number of fruit trees and woody garden plants. In recent years only native Texas plants have been introduced, but these have also included natives from outside the Edward's Plateau hill country.
Most of these new species are listed below, keyed as to their origin by text color and superscript number, if known — as seen in the following table. (A small number of plants for which I have no picture have not been listed.)
