Guide to Useful Native Plants from Eastern Temperate Australia

About this book

Guide to Useful Native Plants from Eastern Temperate Australia is an easy-to-use guide to over 150 plants, extending from Brisbane to the Victorian–South Australian border. It includes detailed descriptions of each species, illustrated with around 600 colour photos and drawings, which will enable easy identification. It also features distribution maps, alongside information on a wide range of uses of native plants as food, fibre and medicine.

This guide will be of interest to people who live in the eastern temperate region, including native plant enthusiasts, bushwalkers, educators, botanical artists, archaeologists and chefs, as well as the many tourists visiting the region. The second edition presents up-to-date taxonomy and has been revised and rewritten for clarity and consistency.
