Now back in print. Plants of Western New South Wales grew from the long experience and expertise which the authors acquired during their employment with their respective organisations in the arid and semi-arid pastoral areas of the State. Each author became aware of the need for a comprehensive record illustrating and describing the great array of plants in the area. The need was identified both for people involved in research and advisory services, and particularly for the landholders who need to manage the plants for their livelihood. The book is a landmark because it draws together all of the existing knowledge of plants from the area, adds to it the extensive collections and research of the authors and presents the whole as a comprehensive collation and description of the plants of the dry pastoral portion of the State. Because of its comprehensive nature, the work is significant to pastoralists and people concerned with plants throughout Australia. The 1992 edition of Plants of Western New South Wales has been reprinted and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING with a one page appendix giving website addresses of various herbaria in Australia where the reader can readily access up-to-date information on botanical name changes.

Volume 1 of the landmark series Flora of New South Wales was first published in 1990, and describes the naturally occurring and naturalized ferns, cycads, conifers and some of the flowering plants of that state. Since 1990, parts of Volume 1 have been made substantially out of date by wide-ranging revisions to taxonomy and the discovery or identification of new plant species - such as the 'living fossil' Wollemi pine, featured on the cover of this revised edition. This revised edition of Volume 1 incorporates a 64 page insert that lists all the updates to the information contained within the book, including taxonomic changes, new species descriptions, new data about species and changes to keys. These changes are cross-referenced from the original species or key entry in the volume to the relevant section of the insert, so where necessary readers can quickly check to see what changes have occurred. Additionally, the reference list, glossary and index have all been revised.

The fifth edition Flora of the Sydney Region is the definitive technical guide to the identification of wild plants in one of the world's botanical heartlands. The Flora covers an area of coastal New South Wales stretching from Newcastle to Nowra and west to Lithgow. This comprehensive treatment contains diagnostic keys and descriptions that make it possible for the reader to identify any of the 3,000 indigenous or naturalised plant species found in this botanically diverse region. The identification keys efficiently guide the reader through those plant characteristics necessary to arrive at the correct scientific name. The identification process is further aided by a glossary and an extensive index of scientific and common plant names. Species descriptions include habitat details and flowering times. An instructive introduction provides support for the novice botanist. When first published in 1963, Flora of the Sydney Region was the only complete regional Flora in Australia. This fully revised edition of the Flora incorporates the wealth of botanical research which has taken place since the publication of the fourth edition in 1994. As a trusty field guide and authoritative desktop reference, it will be a constant companion to environmental consultants, amateur and professional botanists, ecologists, bushwalkers, bush regenerators and teaching institutions.

Understanding the biology of flora and its value to honey bees is the core foundation for successful beekeeping. Bees feed on nectar and pollen. No food equals no bees! The flowers on which bees forage have a major impact on stocking rates and the level of nutrition available to the colony, two subjects that need to be understood for a beekeeper to be successful. Whether a beekeeper owns one hive or a thousand, the principle is the same. Floral resources within Australia underpin so many systems and animal species. Building knowledge and understanding of what they are, and how they are adapting to a changing climate, is a critical field of scientific endeavour. This publication is part of the journey to focus on the value of plants to nectarivores and honey bees in particular. The result of over 30 years of research, it distils both scientific knowledge and the opinions of hundreds of beekeepers into a reference work that will be the cornerstone of floral understanding in apiculture for years to come.

The Hunter Region, between the Hawkesbury and Manning rivers in eastern New South Wales, hosts a rich diversity of vegetation, with many species found nowhere else. Spanning an area from the coast to the tablelands and slopes, its rainforests, wet and dry sclerophyll forests, woodlands, heathlands, grasslands and swamps are known for their beauty and ecological significance. Flora of the Hunter Region describes 54 endemic trees and large shrubs, combining art and science in a manner rarely seen in botanical identification guides. Species accounts provide information on distribution, habitat, flowering, key diagnostic features and conservation status, along with complete taxonomic descriptions. Each account includes stunning botanical illustrations produced by graduates of the University of Newcastle's Bachelor of Natural History Illustration program. The illustrations depict key diagnostic features and allow complete identification of each species. This publication will be a valuable resource for those interested in the plants of the region, including researchers, environmental consultants, horticulturalists and gardeners, bush walkers, herbaria, and others involved in land management.

The north coast region of New South Wales extends from Newcastle in the south to the Queensland border. As well as being the home of the many lucky people who were raised in the area, this beautiful region has long been a mecca for city people holidaying or seeking a sea-change in their lives, and surfers looking for a good wave. Its rolling green hills, white sandy beaches, dramatic headlands and volcanic features harbour a diverse range of ecosystems and plant species, and it is a meeting place for plants from both tropical and temperate zones. Wildflowers of the North Coast of New South Wales describes over 300 of the most commonly seen plant species. Each entry is illustrated with a colour photograph. The book is organised by habitat, for example Costal Dunes, Coastal Heath, Open Forest and Rainforest. Within each chapter plants are further categorised by type, for example Trees, Large Shrubs or Small Shrubs and Herbs, and then arranged alphabetically by family name. Whether you're a local or a tourist, a gardener, a bushwalker, a surfer or a sunbather, this book will help you to identify the plants that you see in the north coast region.
