"Forest Trees of Australia" is an essential reference for identifying native trees in this country. It describes and illustrates nearly 300 of our most important indigenous trees, selected because of their environmental significance, their importance to the timber industry, or because they are conspicuous in the landscape. This new edition includes 70 additional species and is fully updated throughout. New maps and photographs show us a wonderfully diverse range of forests, from mangrove swamps, monsoon regions and deserts, to alpine areas and majestic stands of temperate rainforests. Colour sections illustrate key identification features and major forest types. "Forest Trees of Australia" is an unsurpassed guide to identification for horticulturists, botanists, foresters, students, farmers, environmentalists and all those who are interested in our native trees.
