This comprehensive field guide draws together the knowledge of the more common plants within the outback region of South Australia.
It has been designed with all interest groups in mind by using non-technical terms. The guide is supplemented with a description of landforms and habitats, a glossary and comprehensive index. Around 356 of the most common plants are described and illustrated (incl. 24 introduced weeds). More than 200 of these plants are featured with full page descriptions. Distribution maps are provided, and all species are arranged by their life form (trees, shrubs, forbs, grasses, climbers) for easier identification.
This new edition has been completely reformatted and newly type-set, all plant names have been updated and 10 more species were added to the book.
The binding is section-sown, and the book has a vinyl outer cover for protection. Copies of the book are also available by visiting Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium administration building located at the Goodman Building on Hackney Road.
